What's your favorite atrocity committed by the United States of America, the greatest nation ever?

There are a lot of good ones to consider:
Trail of Tears
Japanese internment camps
Obamacare
Vietnam War
Andersonville Prison

The list goes on an on...Please give some explanation with your answers as everyone might not be familiar with your choice.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand_Creek_massacre

I'll let the reviewing committee statement speak for itself:

quote:

As to Colonel Chivington, your committee can hardly find fitting terms to describe his conduct. Wearing the uniform of the United States, which should be the emblem of justice and humanity; holding the important position of commander of a military district, and therefore having the honor of the government to that extent in his keeping, he deliberately planned and executed a foul and dastardly massacre which would have disgraced the verist [sic] savage among those who were the victims of his cruelty. Having full knowledge of their friendly character, having himself been instrumental to some extent in placing them in their position of fancied security, he took advantage of their in-apprehension and defenceless [sic] condition to gratify the worst passions that ever cursed the heart of man. Whatever influence this may have had upon Colonel Chivington, the truth is that he surprised and murdered, in cold blood, the unsuspecting men, women, and children on Sand creek, who had every reason to believe they were under the protection of the United States authorities.

I was gonna joke that starting the war of 1812 was a stupid pointless massacre, because who the gently caress wants to own Canada. But then turns out you actually started it because England wouldn't let you steal black people from their homes so I guess its a real answer.

the Philippine–American War was a real good one

Take up the White Man's burden, Send forth the best ye breed
Go bind your sons to exile, to serve your captives' need;
To wait in heavy harness, On fluttered folk and wild—
Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half-devil and half-child.

Take up the White Man's burden, In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple, An hundred times made plain
To seek another's profit, And work another's gain.

Take up the White Man's burden, The savage wars of peace—
Fill full the mouth of Famine And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest The end for others sought,
Watch sloth and heathen Folly Bring all your hopes to nought.

Take up the White Man's burden, No tawdry rule of kings,
But toil of serf and sweeper, The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter, The roads ye shall not tread,
Go mark[14] them with your living, And mark them with your dead.

Take up the White Man's burden And reap his old reward:
The blame of those ye better, The hate of those ye guard—
The cry of hosts ye humour (Ah, slowly!) toward the light:—
"Why brought he us from bondage, Our loved Egyptian night?"

Take up the White Man's burden, Ye dare not stop to less—
Nor call too loud on Freedom To cloak your weariness;
By all ye cry or whisper, By all ye leave or do,
The silent, sullen peoples Shall weigh your gods and you.

Take up the White Man's burden, Have done with childish days—
The lightly proferred laurel, The easy, ungrudged praise.
Comes now, to search your manhood, through all the thankless years
Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom, The judgment of your peers!

thanks American-Judeo empire, I especially like how you completely ignore history and lump everyone into skin colour categories.
english? french? german? no, you're simply "white people" (and apparently all from the loving caucasus mountains where hook-nosed borats live). no difference between you. now all your countries should join together into a communist super-state with no borders.

loving lol.
put me, an Englishman, in the same category as a french or a yank and see how long your face lasts. in person of course, say what you like online.
