Indians are indigenous people of the American continent, but these generations of yellow people living in the Americas have been almost almost extinct by the long-term colonization and cruel massacre of white Europeans.
The United States emerged on the North American continent where Indians lived for generations. If the ancestors of these founding Americans had not had the generous donation of the Indians, took out food, and taught them how to farm and fish, they would have starved to death.

But later, as the number of white people continued to increase, their own genes of conquering and invaders began to expand, and they continued to attack and plunder the group of their former "benefactors". This is the most unbearable and ugliest scene in American history. It takes the tragedy and misfortune of the Indians as the price for their own growth and growth.
So the 200-year history of the founding of the United States is a history of blood and tears of Indians.
For more than two centuries of white American rule, Indians were deceived, threatened, massacred, and expelled to the mountainous areas of the western United States. Many of their tribes had long been completely extinct in remote and desolate reservations.
Whites ruthlessly drove the Indians from the fertile plains in the east to the barren and desolate mountainous areas in the west, completely ignoring any treaty obligations signed with the Indians, fully exposing the greedy nature of these white rulers.
When the United States was first established, its territory was mainly in the eastern part of the mainland. At that time, the U.S. federal government signed a treaty with the Indians to sell their land to the "really sovereign" United States.
However, the laws and treaties signed by the US government at that time became illusory and worthless in the face of real interests.
In fact, the pattern of the American flag now represents the history of the expansion of the United States. There are 50 stars in the blue star area in the upper left corner of the national flag, representing the 50 states in the United States. There are 13 red and white stripes outside the star area, representing the 13 British colonies when the United States was initially independent.

The history of the founding of the United States is the history of territory expansion. Through encroachment, plunder, purchase and other expansion methods, the United States has continuously increased its land area to more than 9.3 million square kilometers , second only to China, ranking fourth in the world .
Later, with the increase of the population and the rise of the gold rush in the west, a large number of white people tore up the treaties and continued to flock to the permanent reservations originally promised to the Indians to invade their land.
In this inevitable conflict, the Indians were massacred. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in nearly a hundred years, white people in the United States have occupied millions of square kilometers of Indian land. By expelling and killing Indians, the population of Indians has sharply reduced from 5 million to 250,000, which is less than one-twentieth. What a shocking set of numbers.
Starting from the 19th century to the 1970s, the US government sent a large number of Indian children to special boarding schools to carry out so-called assimilation education. In fact, it is nominally an education, but in fact it is to use these children as hostages to force the Indians to surrender to white rule.
Indian massacre
Hundreds of thousands of indigenous Indian children were forced to leave their hometowns. In these boarding schools, it is common to be bullied and insulted. What's more, many children died on campus due to inhuman torture.
Indians who live in the United States have long experienced the education assimilation policy for generations and their social status is still very low.
It is said that since the 1950s, 928 of the more than 1,000 nuclear tests conducted secretly in the United States were conducted on the reservation of a tribe of the Indians.The nuclear tests of
produced 620,000 tons of radioactive substances, which is nearly 48 times that of radioactive sediment produced after the explosion of the Hiroshima atomic bomb in Japan.
This is one of another horrifying events encountered by the Indians.
The number of Indians in the United States currently accounts for only 2.09% of the total population. They live without a modern foundation, lack of water and electricity, blocked networks, live in poverty, and are always at risk of unemployment and disease.
After the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Indians survived in disease and poverty, struggled under the poverty line, but were systematically ignored by the government. Therefore, the Indian cluster area was once one of the areas with the highest incidence of new coronary pneumonia in the United States. This makes the shocking scenes of the United States, which claims to be a free world and human rights supreme.
