I think most people conclude that the Indians lost the land that they took from the previous tribe that occupied it, and so on and so back until the very first person crossed the Bering Straight. Lots of people suffered, and what the Native Americans suffered is particularly poignant because it happened within memory of some people that we ourselves knew. There's no beginning and no end, and no going back.

The Civil War was fought between brothers, both sides praying to the same God, both sides holding the same values, with the exception of slavery and states' rights. Neither side was "evil," but some of the root causes were evil (slavery), and some of what happened to and was committed by both sides was evil. My daddy was a southern man. I was raised a Yankee and never learned to hate, certainly not from him. That's the way most people are, given the chance and enough time under the right laws.

>>As for the Civil War don't skirt the issue, were the Confederates EVIL?

To the extent that they were Dems. There are eternal truths, it appears.
