The buffalo weren't killed because settlers were wasteful.
It was an official policy where they'd kill as many as possible to wipe out the Natives food source in the area.
Remaining buffalo were forced west, and the Natives had to follow. Which put them in conflict with Natives who had always been there.
And the push never stopped.
I agree, so I'll just clarify my analogy.
The buffalo could survive with the Native People in charge. They did much worse with the Europeans. In this case, the FBI/CIA are the Natives, and the MAGoos are the settlers.
I just wanted to mention that because most Americans learned in school that settlers were just trying to peacefully co-exist and buffalo decline was just from more hunting.
The US government has the army with train mounted gatling guns, mowing down herds of buffalo without even going up to the bodies after. Because they knew it would starve natives.
Shit was fucked up, but the least we can do is be honest about how it went down.
Funny story. I went to public school in New York City. I would have said that my teachers were pretty conservative.
When I hear about what other people's textbooks told them, I realize how important it is to have an open mind.
Someone told me yesterday that their books told them that Unions were a good thing in the past, but our economy had outgrown the need.
Well at least they're not manipulating history books like that any more.
Right, Texas and Florida?
