@chris18830 Considering most of human history occurred before civilization existed, slavery wasn't a thing because it was created to produce free labor. Were they sending their slaves out to hunt for them? Since the topic IS slavery, then human history before civilization is irrelevant so you trying to make it important to the topic is the strawman. Now for your "country" bit. In order for civilization to be created humans had to start cultivating and animal husbandry. That means we started recognizing the basic concept of owning property. That's the start of "country". Just because it was worded or called different things, doesn't mean the concept was different. People try to make a similar argument about Natives, that we didn't believe in ownership of the land. This is false because we all recognized boundaries to the lands we claimed for hunting and growing. In my tribe, as an example, each family was given a certain amount of land to grow crops to provide for their family. It wasn't some community garden crap like apologists try to make out. We weren't nomads. We had set areas we rotated to grow our crops, ending back at the starting spot 4 years later. Instead of naming it like a country, it was named for what tribe controlled it. It's the same concept though because anyone that came onto what was our was attacked and driven off the same as a country's border. Edit: The first known civilization in Sumeria would certainly meet the definition of country today.

Columbus landed in 1492. Not long after that Spaniards began coming and the battles began. The last battle was 1890. So yes hundreds of years. Over 300 hundred, pushing 400, to be more exact.

My oldest did this in gifted and talented about 12 years ago. Each of them had to pick a foreign country, they could be from it or not, dress in someway related to it and make a food from it. They also had to research the exports it produced, it's economy, the wildlife found there, and all types of other things. They all really enjoyed it.

I'll only agree to a public option if we also adopt their rules for immigration and citizenship. Point system and being born here doesn't guarantee citizenship.

It's starting to happen. This is the backlash from Gen X getting rid of labels because, most of us, understood how destructive they are. They decided to accept the challenge and prove us right. The backlash to this will be HARD. The further one way the swing, the further it will swing back. You're already seeing it in some polls. 53% of women now want to be housewives and stay at home moms. The majority are wanting to go back to the 50s where the main investment was in families. That's why a lot aren't returning to their previous jobs from the shutdowns. They want to find an occupation that will have them at home more and stop commuting 1-3 hours a day.

Considering they are in the US, and the US is a mixing pot of different cultures with the main one being English, explain what cultural "imperialism" is in a country like that. There was no main culture before French, English, and Spanish began settling here. Each Native tribe, especially per region, had their own culture and language. The cultures that settled here mingled amongst each other and then mingled more with other cultures that came over. That's why we have regional cultures still. The south for example is like a different country than the northeast and the northeast is very different from the west coast. The US has no shared culture to bind us together. That's why instead of seeing ourselves as all these different parts and pieces of different cultures it was stressed, until recently, that we are all Americans.

The fact they are calling it a leadership camp is very deceptive. That's what most parents thought they were sending their kids to. Some teachers tried to get me to send my oldest to leadership camps and seminars. Very glad now I didn't if this is what they are.
