      The land was also part of a treaty that they broke. They promised them a portion of land that everyone signed on, and still went back on it. Not to mention the fact that they weren't always given appropriate translators so it's fair to say the Natives didn't completely know what they were getting into all the time.

      Teddy was the first president in the late 19th and early 20th century to act like a president. He destroyed big corp. influence in government destroyed monopolies and expanded American imperialism after the Spanish-American war and brought power back to the president. Ran for 3rd term but GOP wanted someone else splitting the Republican vote. He would have been the first to be elected 3 times, even more and WW1 would be very different for USA because of his militaristic attitude. The way the video blushed over Teddy is just sad.

      @Levis. H maybe except natives are, even today, still stuck on reservations with dilapidated schools, underdeveloped infrastructure, and levels of poverty that haunt them from the Great Depression. Our government is supposed to be funding and helping run these schools but we don't. This leads to a dropout rate nearly twice that of the national average. This poverty and lack of infrastructure leads to a cycle of increased crime and poverty.
      Even if your equivocation about history was correct, native americans aren't "whining about it like little bitches" because of something in the past. They are fighting against active systemic discrimination. But enjoy that "both-sidescream", im sure it's as cold as this take.

    • @laurenlizzbeth

      @Levis. H I don't like either party. The Democrats pander to minorities but ultimately want to just stay in power however possible. The Republicans are the same, except they pander to people who don't like minorities lol.
      The reservations are areas where natives have been "allowed" to self govern (which is so laughable on it's own like yes let's allow you to make decisions about your own communities, so sorry about the genocide btw). Certain communities have earned income from the gambling and casino laws but factually they still face systemic issues against their community.
      Canada has similar issues with the First People in their country. If you're interested I recommend looking into the issue, especially because it isn't US specific (although the US has a large part to play).

    Teddy got shot in an assasination attempt while giving a speech. Instead of getting help he sat there and finished his speech. He also shook the shooters hand after he was apprehended before getting complete help. He was that badass, I think he deserves a spot on Mount Rushmore

    Rushmore is BS. BUT Teddy was crazy important baller who fought corruption, championed the infant environmentalism, and redefined the role of president.
    He should be shown giving a 30 minute speech after getting shot (which happened), not that stupid fat-shaming hunter bit.

    Washington: self explanatory
    Jefferson: Luisiana purchase (about 1/3 of the U.S) and the Lewis and Clark expeditions (mapping and their for claiming huge areas of the west)
    Lincoln: Won the civil war allowing U.S to keep southern states, he also build railroads linking the east coast and west coast cementing U.S claim on the west.
    Roosevelt: Fought in the Mexiccan American war secureing the southern western quarter of the modern U.S. territory, He also commissioned the Panama canel and the U.S established many island territories over his term.
