We live in the United States of America. (Most of us reading this essay. If you’re not American, you have my sympathies.)
“America” isn’t just the 3,500,000 square miles of the fifty states. (And the District of Columbia, but the district hasn’t really been American since the Roosevelt administration.) America is the 9,000,000 square miles of North America and South America. Can we honestly call ourselves the United States of America if the USA doesn’t cover the entirety of the two continents?
We need to do our expansion the right way, the American way. We expand into the territory we want and push out the natives. We can make promises that we don’t mean to keep if that will get them moving, but it’s probably easier to just kill everyone we see and drive the native populations ahead of us. If any make it to Tierra del Fuego, they can figure out how to swim.
What we do not want to do is do empire building the European way. History shows that keeping the native populations around as a workforce and customer base leads to nothing but trouble a few generations on. No, drive them off or kill them off. It’s the only way to be sure.
Only once the United States extends from the Arctic to the Antarctic will we truly be the United States of America.
