    Yes… that’s why I said we started it. But you’ve had a good 250 years to make a run of it on your own. It was an idle question, no need for any agro.

    Edit: spelling

      American here. While I don’t really know much about the specifics as far as the language killing goes, I think the blame for the vast majority of atrocities that were inflicted on the Natives falls on America, not England.

      Sure, it started with you, but when we separated, we had only stolen the most of the east coast. Now we’ve stolen damn near everything. And Andrew Jackson in particular is to blame for a fuckload of it. He’s definitely ours, as much as I’m ashamed of it. Hiding from history doesn’t do anyone any good.
