    Even Harrison was a military officer who was famous for fighting against (and committing atrocities against) indigenous American groups before he became president. I don’t think there’s a single US president with a clean track record.

    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.
