Wrong. Europeans arrived hundreds of years before and became Americans. With American Independence in 1776.

The mass slaughter and land grab was mainly in the nineteenth century and committed by Americans.

are brits still romans? or germans or french or all the places they originally came from?

obviously it's different now. america wasn't america yet during that slaughter, look at a map of that time, most of america was unexplored, so it wasn't America the country it is today. just like most of the countries of euro have changed their borders and governments in the past 250 years.

What? the mass slaughter was in the nineteenth century. When was Independence. And it was called it even before 1776.

You are wrong.

And still not listening. The mass slaughter was in the nineteenth century when it was called - Guess what? America or USA if you prefer.

you're not listening, where a lot of that slaughter took place was not america yet. it was the wild west, unexplored territory being explored by european settlers. vast areas of what is now America was Spanish at the time.

Of course it was America. And new arrivals had to declare allegiance and became Americans.
