Ok, is that the only broken treaty you were taught about?
it wasn't "american politicians". it was americans. even if the government helped, it was common americans, poor and rich, who murdered and repressed natives every day until the land was solidly occupied. and while everyone in the country can be perfectly able to recognize the shitty things they've done, they're absolutely incapable of admitting the terrible things they're supporting and doing today. they live in a constant cycle of "oh we've done a baddie" into "no i'm not doing anything bad this time" into "oh i guess that was bad as well sorry" into "no i'm sure i'm not doing anything wrong this time"
the average american was evil back then and remains evil as fuck to this day, because that's what not being an anti-imperialist leftist tends to mean if you live right in the middle of the imperial core
That's like saying, "if only the school shooter didn't have a gun". True on the surface, but an effect of a larger, more serious issue. The average American was stupid back then, and is stupid today. Hell, I'm sure plenty of them went out there just to kill those pesty redskins. Why? Read a book that you weren't given in school. That was like the 78th Thanos snap.
