So what? Non-united peoples
don't have territorial rights? By that argument, the original USA had no territorial rights since it was also weakly united, i. e. a
Confederacy.

The continents on which they lived was referred to as the
Americas by Europe
long before Europeans invaded them.

So did European settlers after they invaded.
Hence, if keeping slaves were justification were having one's territory, then someone else should've
invaded and conquered the US between 1600-1800.

Of course, they didn't tolerate invaders,
including the European invaders.

They did. From the perspective of the Natives of the Americas, the European conquest was very much illegal.

We have to first make sure the trailerpark folks (like ericokc) pack up and ship out ASAP.
It's these people, after all, that have shown a tendency not to respect the territorial integrity of the Natives. And I'm glad I'm not one of them!

Esp. because ericokc's wetback ancestors are the ones who stole it.

You first, boy; your ancestors stole the land, not mine. Better get your boots on and your canteens and start a walkin'.

No way. My ancestors aren't from Europe.
