If it isn't moral, does that mean the birth and continuing existence of the USA is based upon immorality?

Survival of the fittest. That is how life works, moral or not.

That's the most arbitrary question.
It was not illegal by Western Standards.
It was immoral by Native Standards.
Millions and Millions of people died in many different and sad circumstances.
Was the Holocaust moral? No, but it was logical and justified.
Sounds like the war in Iraq.
The bottom line is that native people are repressed worldwide. The Aborignal Australians, The Roma in Europe, The Bantu in Africa-repressed by larger african groups.
Even a group of free American slaves who founded Liberia ended up repressing the locals.
Even now, Middle Americans are being robbed of their homes by the Government's Increasing Immentent Domain Policies, and Banks with rampant forclosure rates.
It's a dog eats cat eats mouse eats cheese world.

Their were natives on all continents at one time.
Check your history. Europe has been invaded since time began.
Australia, Canada, North America/United States were probably the last country's to be taken over.
We all have ancestors that will have to answer for invading others territory.
South America was invaded by the Spanish.
The Indian tribes were always at war with each other.
Where ever you live you need to study your own country's history before you concern yourself with North America.
What is the answer to it?
We can and should feel sad about it but we can't take upon us, the sins of our fore fathers but we should do our best to get along and love one another
There is no one pure and Innocent enough to cast the first stone.
Good question. Thanks.

Conquest is never moral. It is just conquest. A simple fact of life in a complicated history of North America and Europe.

When it occurred...No, it wasn't moral.
But those living today are not responsible for things their ancestors did.
If that were so then we would blame nearly all of Canadians for wiping out 90% of our population in the 1800s.
What happened in the past is not the responsibility of those living today. The purpose of the past is so that people today can see what not to do in the future.

Of course its not moral but then neither was taking Australia, New Zealand and loads of other places too no doubt. It is unfortunate but true that the strongest win.

How could you say it was moral, it was anything but moral. They say to the victor goes the spoils and I guess this was what they did. It happened in all cultures, not that it makes it right..

no, it wasn't moral. however, when there are two or more tribes, cultures, societies, nations come in conflict over land, water, natural resources, women, or anything else the stronger will take over the weaker. the weaker will either be destroyed, become subservient or become assimilated into the stronger.

No, it was monstrous. But not isolated!
Human beings have robbed, dispossessed, raped and murdered their way through history.
We are not a particularly nice species - but we do have our good points.
