    Interesting theory. So Americans stole the land from Americans because there was a civil war? That’s definitely a way to look at it.

      You’re grouping together people who were not together. The different tribes that existed were similar to the countries that exist today, though obviously a little less formal in nature.

      It’s not a civil war when two different tribes fought. Any more than it would be a civil war if Canada and the US fought.
