The people in Europe had grown in a custom of cultivation, resource extraction and land ownership. The natives of America had grown in a custom of open skies and take only what you need from the environment.

It was not so much stealing, as enforcing their ideas about resource allocation on a new culture that chose to remain separate rather than integrate.

Isn't it beautiful when a modern culture shares the good parts of modern civilization with another without forcing them to adopt the whole package, and without "taking their land".
