       I find little to nothing about the forced removal of Lenape and Iroquois from the northeast. Much of the stories only depict the western tribes, but Indigenous Genocide occurred here in NY too. My Great Great Great Great Grandma didn't walk farther than Queens County. See how soon we lose history? https://allthatsinteresting.com/native-american-genocide

       "Not only did the United States commit genocide against Native Americans, but they did it over a period of hundreds of years. Ward Churchill, a professor of ethnic studies at the University of Colorado calls it a “vast genocide… the most sustained on record.”"

       "In fact, Adolf Hitler, whose genocide of 6 million European Jews shocked the world, took inspiration from the way the United States had systematically eliminated much of their Indigenous population."

       @WecanbeGyros The Nazi Enabling Acts of 1934 (especially the Racial Purity Law) drew directly from Virginia's 1924 Racial Integrity Act. The involuntary sterilization provision of that Act was upheld 8-1 by SCOTUS in 1927's Buck v Bell. The miscegenation provisions weren't overturned until Loving  v Virginia in 1967. (Coincidentally Virginia launched the "Virginia is for Lovers" public relations campaign the next year, & relaunched it in 2017 ahead of the 50th anniversary of Loving v Virginia.)

       [The disease theory is stupid considering the bacteria also killed many Europeans and is meant to cover atrocities]

       "British colonists received payment for each Penobscot Native they killed – 50 pounds for adult male scalps, 25 for adult female scalps, and 20 for scalps of boys and girls under the age of 12. Sadly, there’s no telling how many Native Americans were killed as a result of this policy."
