 Hundreds of years ago, there were different means used to acquire this territory from the natives who lived here. Trade, in some cases, means that were certainly unethical, and I think we all need to acknowledge that. But that doesn't mean that the United States is illegitimate any more than it means that the means used by Jews multiple generations ago to acquire that land, and in many cases, by the way, they purchased it, any more than that means that the state of Israel is illegitimate and needs to be dismantled.
