I can not accept your arguments! That is because I can not accept the basis that only America is being discussed covering a time when it was little different in certain issues than the rest of the world. Taking that position and then chastizing the USA is poor discussion technique.

On the point of it being approved by the church you are wrong at least in the american context for the time period that i quoted that is the 19th century. I am a student AmericanHistory at Fothill inCalifornia. I can assure you that the protestant church largely condemned the acts of the american government at the time in relation to the genocide of indians, the forced removal of civilized peacefull indian nations that were officially recognised by the said american government. and lastly but most importantly they almost universally opposed slavery everywhere except the southern cotton belt and even there there was opposition. in fact the us congress censured andrew jackson for breaking the law but they were too morally bankrupt to impeach him. they knew what he was doing and he knew and everyone knew it was a dispicable and reprehensible act to blatantly defy an order of the supreme court. did u know the us government ordered troops in to forcibly remove various missionaries from indian lands so that they could forcibly move or kill civilized native americans, i am not talking about bufflo hunting tribes here. the actions were known to be terrorism even if the term was yet to be coined. the american people them selves largly rejected slavery but a large group of southern terrorists remained in power it divided the nation. america was a nation populated by large active terrorist groups the american people largely rejected those groups so did the church for the most part but the terrorists flourished and prospered and enjoyed the support of the state at many levels. the President Andrew Jackson was a terrorist. the army practiced terrorism not becuase thy thought it was ok but becuase they were an army following orders. does that excuse them|? the american people in lge numbers rejected the terorists but that didnt stop them . kinda parrallels certain situations today in other countries

as for more rescnt events re the civil rights movement no sane individual can put any logical spin of rationalization on those illegal and dispicable acts no need to even comment on that
