In today's world it's different because everything has been explored for the most part. But back then it's was all about colonization. For us to that today we would need to go into space. Which I am in favor.
As far as the Indians go .... You have to defend your lands and if you get taken by force or by diplomacy ..... That's on you. They took $700 from the Dutch for Manhattan island. That's their fault.
Was it right ? That's debatable ... By today's. Standards ... no. But by the colonial standard yes it is .... And I would hope we would do the same things if we went into space. .
