I disagree (somewhat) with the disservice comment though.
They were forced to a barren land, in which they had little resources to prosper with (apart from mining, which brings us back to the Govt taking the land back and selling for $$$).
I do feel for them. But they also could do what anyone who is conquered does.... And just flee south or north. You can't tell me that there wasnt resources elsewhere.
I realize this sounds really cold. But that's how it's worked with humanity since forever. At least we didn't enslave them and sell them abroad. Like the Africans did ..... I know that's not much of feel good moment. But it could have gotten a whole lot worse unfortunately.
