I'm descended from some colonial settlers and I've read their diaries and letters. They pretty much were honest about it that they were conquering land from people they could take it from.
Made Thanksgiving a little weird for me growing up...

In a way, yeah, they did. But the Indians didn't believe you could own land. That was an idea that the settlers brought. The Indians traded to settlers things for land... when they really didn't think anyone could own the land... so they were probably a little confused when the settlers started kicking them off.
