    the FDR years are usually a good example for cases such as these, and he was president for more than 10 years.

    That is a good example of a decade of non aggression by US, I would agree. One could say the isolationist policies, and reluctance to join League or World Court was a failure but that would just be splitting hairs. Having said that even the World War I had a Christmas truce. FDR years doesn’t make US any less of a bully or a war profiteer.

    Huh, I never knew that. Thank you for telling me.

    You can look into Mississippi Land Company founded by George Washington for prospecting lands beyond the Appalachian mountains prohibited by the Proclamation.

      I’m not really arguing that the US doesn’t have a horrible history or that it isn’t currently a force for evil. I’m trying to encourage more nuance and accuracy in the arguments of my fellows because those are the areas where they appear to lack the most. There are communities of people who think critically but are put off from leftist arguments by those flaws and thus are insulated from the underlying truth.

      The company was formed and petitioned the Crown before the proclamation.

        It continued its workings even after the proclamation. It was formed before it.
