Reply #56: Then I guess your point is irrelevant.

Where did anyone say they were "proud" of that early part of America's history?

The first Europeans arrived in the 1400s, some would argue even earlier.

At the time, the native American tribes all ready fought with each other long before the Europeans arrived. After the European's arrived, some of the native American tribes formed alliances with the Europeans. Importantly, America was not a unified country. Its existing population was basically a bunch of loosely affiliated tribes and settlements, all in various forms of competition.

But that is not what this thread is about. This thread is about whether this nation was founded on COMPROMISE, and Obama claimed.

The NATION of AMERICA was founded on a document that spells out how the NATION will be governed. And as I said earlier, it SCREAMS compromise.

What is your argument exactly ... that this nation was founded on FORCE, and Obama should STICK WITH FORCE???

Or ... is your point that America is evil, and its founding should be reversed. Bottom line, your point makes no sense in this thread.
