Kevin McCarthy Unlocks New Level of Embarrassment With Claim That America Never Acquired Land Via War
The former House Speaker appears to know very little about U.S. history.
You're viewing a single thread.
I think we acquired much of the south after a war with the south
We already owned that land and they tried to steal it.
However, war is literally how we founded the country.
Bruh. I hope you're not talking about the war with Mexico.
Edit: I've been corrected.
Lmao, the Souff
That came a few years after 1776...
American Civil War.
Of all the wars we fought, you picked the one that wasn't about conquering land, and was started by the Confederacy btw
It was a different country. We got their land. By conquering it. And then we destroyed their country. Rightfully so.
Civil wars are, by definition, a nation fighting itself.
It was always the position of the Union that the Confederacy were rebelling citizens, and that fact was the legal basis of the Emancipation Proclamation, later decisions regarding the very concept of a secession without an act of Congress, and quite a few court courses for treason and sedition.
