You forgot about the American Indians. Manifest Destiny my ass.
Also, the Confederate States of America no longer exist because Robert E. Lee
was forced to surrender at Appomatox.
The United States was expanded through conquest, and held together through
conquest. Anyone who thinks the South wasn't conquered in the Civil War has
never heard of General Sherman.
