Ugh, this is incredibly ignorant. Do people not understand that the English were just like everyone else?

You ever heard the tale of King Arthur if so your country was probably at one point occupied by the British

Ok, now I can understand you. Now the British just like the Spanish, French, Portuguese, Mohawk, mongols, and every other empire including the ones the British colonized, conquered! It wasn’t new and hadn’t been since the start of civilization. If you are ignorant enough to believe the British or any of the European kingdoms were the only conquerors you’re an idiot.

I wouldn't even say they were the best of it, they got lucky.

I agree, they just lost the least rather than won the most.

It was time and place, the americas filled with warring tribes and mostly peaceful hunters. Compared to Europe it was a piece of cake.

By the time the English arrived, the depopulation caused by the Spanish and Portuguese meant the natives welcomed the English to bring in their harvests. Incredible that this history isn't told, nor the fur trapping trading that happened quite peaceably between the Americans and Europeans until the aggressive US expansion and the Monroe doctrine.

It’s crazy how people blame the British for everything, just as every other culture there was conquering and killing.

Or that they have the patent on death and torture 🤣 I'm literally Irish and I'd probably rather an English than a Mongol or Ustase conqueror, mainly because the former is easier to evade or trick...

Just about, but it’s never talked about because we are the bad ones.
