This sort of Human behavior has been going on for centuries

Do they have a celebration for any of these other groups who had their land taken from them? Do these other groups have a day of thanksgiving for a time when they and the other group were living in harmony? Then behind the facade of that bed time story you have the reality of the people being subjugated, oppressed, and exterminated? I agree this sort of human behavior has been going on for centuries, but no one has a kumbaya story making it into a celebration feast when in fact the real story was about a people having their lives ruined by the people they once shared sweet fellowship?

Who is "they"?

Do these other groups have a day of thanksgiving for a time when they and the other group were living in harmony?

Thanksgiving is an American Holiday, not a "other group" day. It is a recent invention.

If you want to start a national Holiday to celebrate something, start a petition

Did you read anything Essias or I posted or are you just in a zone?

Like I said in the beginning, thanksgiving is NOT the celebration of Genocide or Indian wars. You said before that you were not saying that but here you are again going full circle

Those Indians HAD their lives already ruined by Disease AND by the other, stronger tribes.
