    Eh, some of it. I won’t pretend to be an expert, but I’m pretty sure most American land was acquired by settlers simply marching in with guns and saying “We’re here now”. That’s to say nothing of the countless treaties that were signed and broken.

    I don’t exactly think the Osage were contacted about the Louisiana Purchase.

      Well we’re Americans we didn’t march, we rolled in on a wagon.
