A lot of great things came from this time, but I also think a lot of negative things came from it as well. I don't think it was morally right to take land away from the Natives, or to kill them over land, or to even cause conflict over it. My opinion is split down the middle, because I can see both ends of the spectrum. There's pros and cons, so I personally can't have a black or white opinion on this particular subject, just because I don't feel right picking either side. I'm really opinionated and I think black or white on a lot of things, but I think more gray in this situation.]]> 2016-11-04 15:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/avas3892/y3nh6ao9vvvj/wish/135428729
