In the hearts of many people, the United States is like a paradise, sprinkled with freedom and democracy. In fact, the seemingly liberal and democratic United States is nothing more than a total hypocrite. In the hearts of Americans, there has always been a past that no one wants to mention, and this disgraceful past involves a period of American history in which washington, the founding father of the United States, down to ordinary soldiers have participated in the Indian conquest.
Washington
This kind of inhuman conquest that hypocritical politicians have been engaged in, from the time of Columbus's sailing adventure to the establishment of the United States, the Indians fell from the original population of 30 million to 800,000, which shows the bad nature of the Indian conquest.

The third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, was an out-and-out ambitionist who was not satisfied with the only land in the United States at that time, so the land-owning and civilized Indians became his first choice.

Thomas's ambitions were quickly revealed. Under his command, the conquest of Indians reached an unprecedented climax, and by the 1890s, U.S. troops had largely completed the task of exterminating Indians, children, women, and the elderly were not spared, and soon the original inhabitants who had run freely on the North American continent were killed.

Listening to these appalling deeds, we can think of the tragic situation of the Indians at that time, and there is no doubt that it was a conquest that destroyed humanity. How ironic it is that a country that proposes "natural human rights" and "freedom and equality" has been such an executioner, which shows that the truth of the matter is often hidden in a deeper darkness, which needs to be seriously discovered.
▲ Native Americans
The United States treated the natives so cruelly, so why is there a thanksgiving day to thank the Indians?

In 1620, the Mayflower, carrying 102 Puritans, was forced to leave the port of Plymouth, England, to the New World, where she experienced a winter of starvation and bitter cold, half of the ship's men died.
Nothing has happened overnight since ancient times, but the cost of freedom has clearly exceeded their expectations.

Fortunately, God never gave up on His devout followers. In less than three months God had sent them a savior, the local Wampanoag chief, Masaso. The benevolent chief softened in the rhetoric of the outsiders, and he decided to share food with these poor outsiders and teach them to hunt, fish, and grow corn, not knowing that his good deeds had laid the foundation for his population.
▲ Indian costumes
In the following autumn, the immigrants gathered together on the good day of the harvest, and as a thank-you North American immigrant, they also invited the Indians to enjoy the beauty of the harvest together.

In the eyes of americans, Thanksgiving is essentially a thank you to the white man's "God." The suffering in life, the pain in desperate circumstances, is all given by God, and they interpret it all as a test that God gives. Of course, when they are rescued, they will naturally not be grateful to you, and everything is considered to be "God".

This kind of logic, which sounds very unreasonable, is normal in the eyes of Americans, and perhaps in the dark, Americans have been imprisoned by selfish thinking so that they can turn a blind eye to it.

The various acts of the United States in the conquest of the Indians have been strongly condemned by other countries, including my own. Although the United States has established a Reservation for Indians today, this cannot hide the fact that the United States is wantonly expropriated against human nature.
The war has been a long-awaited change of color and has brought much suffering to the people of the world. Just as the evil deeds of the United States will be strongly condemned by the people of the world. As Chinese we should take this as a warning and commit ourselves to maintaining world peace.
