Quote: Americans are all originally Britains and other Europeans who travelled west and settled in the "Wild unknown lands", killing and driving off the native americans.

Which is what every other "civilization" has done since the dawn of man. They exterminate or assimilate the conquered. The difference is that eventually Americans felt bad about what they did, and allow "Native Americans" (whom are no more native to American than the Europeans) to have some of their land back with limited sovereignty (reservations).
