As a person who grew up in Am*rica, the genocidal imperial conquest is portrayed in a positive light - the atrocities are glossed over, and the narrative is that America “tamed” an “uninhabited” or “savage” wilderness. The war with Mexico is justified as “liberating” the white settlers in the area from supposed Mexican tyranny.

Good book on this: Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz - not a nation of immigrants.
her “a native people’s history of the US” is also good
