On the Fact that When the Indians Sold Manhattan Island to the Dutch it Was Little More than a Swampy, Insect-Infested Area that Comprised Only a Small Slice of Their Hunting Grounds and Which Neither Party Could Have Possibly Envisioned Would One Day Be Amongst the Most Valuable Acreage On the Globe

 Yeah, this is one of the left's most used examples of supposed European villainy and just like with all the rest of their foolishness it's simplistic beyond belief. The Indians were obviously happy with the deal or they wouldn't have consented to it and how effing presumptuous of these dumb leftists to think that the Indians tribes were too effing stupid to negotiate without getting ripped off. The truth of the matter is that the Indians quickly caught on to the money system and learned how to be hard-nosed negotiators themselves, not perpetual victims who need to be infantilized by assholes.
