The war of 1812 doesn't really count.

The Native Americans would likely still object to the idea that the Americas were never invaded.

[NikolaeVarius]

Posturing for a completely unrelated issue wins points for the woke crowd, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the issue at hand.

[AlotOfReading]

I'm not sure I understand how native Americans are unrelated to the topic at hand. They still exist, and there are still thousand year old villages in the US and Mexico.

[karatinversion]

But they are not particularly relevant in the discussion of the cultural memory of the modern United States

[the-dude]

The lack thereof. And in that light, it seems eerily relevant.

[pjc50]

A United States where a significant fraction of the Native population had survived, intermingled, and developed their own 20th-century culture and architecture on a significant scale would be very different.

[the-dude]

You mean to get cultural meaningful intermingling, you shouldn't wipe them out?
