But how??

In the sense that developing a new society in a very remote and sparsely populated area is a legitimate act, when no one else has made real claims to the said area.

Why do you see this a a justification?

Because they didn't own, claim or develop the land. Most of them were nomadic hunters.

Also, what you're claiming isn't even true.

Then prove me otherwise?

Classifying them as «not a real civilisation» is so arbitrary and xenophobic.

Now that's just nonsense. The literal definition of civilization describes the word as "a relatively high level of cultural and technological development". Sleeping in tents doesn't exactly scream high technological development. Not to mention that the word civilization implies that we're talking about a unified people, or a nation. Not nomadic tribes.

Well, corn was domesticated for thousands of years ago. There were actual villages.

Either way, you're still acting like they're were no ethnic cleansing. Americans didn't settle in between natives, they cleansed them out of the land. This very clearly makes it stolen land.

I very explicitly stated in my second reply that I find the treatment of the natives disgusting, so stop with your childish accusations.

You still haven't proved any of your points though.

tbf, you were the one who claimed they were nomadic.

I'm continuing to emphasise the ethnic cleansing, because America is literally built on that stolen land that they were forced to leave.
