Today’s Globalization- An International Conspiracy by the World’s Rich and Powerful
C- Political Globalization-b) The First Nations of North America and Afro-Americans, under American Imperialism!!!
1)The First Nations of North America- the Indian tribes
We shall now examine in a general context, how the indigenous Indians and the African American slaves, who much later became ‘’ second class’’ American citizens, were treated by American authorities, whether they represented the Federal Government or State Governments. We shall demonstrate that through official American policy, these two racial groups were treated as ‘’savages’’ and as ‘’subhuman’’ social entities, since they were not white, of European ancestry and Christian. For almost all American settlers , ‘’divine destiny’’ dictated that these ‘’peoples’’ were assigned to service in a servile and subservient way , the long term expectations of the American governments to create a ‘’benevolent empire’’, popularized by Benjamin Franklin(1706-1790) and Thomas Paine(1737-1809), major architects of America’s political culture , or an ‘’empire of liberty’’ as President Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809) espoused as political axiom. Therefore we see, that the United States was founded on a political environment of ‘’virtual reality’’, both politically and ideologically!!!(www.americanforeignrelations.com)
By observing the socio-economic circumstances under which these two distinct but major social communities of the United States evolved during the last 250 years approximately, we will be able to once again substantiate our position in classifying this Nation as authoritarian, racist and imperialistic, demonstrating very few ideological commonalities with the political concepts of liberalism and republicanism, as well as with the socio-cultural tenets of Jesus Christ as described in the Christian Gospel!!!
We shall begin by analysing the historical evolution of the native American Indians, before and after American Independence.
Before we go into detail concerning the plight of the Indian Nations of North America under the ‘’colonialist governance’’ of the white European settlers, before and after American Independence in 1776, I would like to present a statement from the introduction of a study, undertaken by the University of Vienna in 2006, addressing the ‘’genocide’’ of the Cherokee Indian Nation(whose territory covered most of the south-eastern United States) under official government policy at all levels(federal, state, local), utilizing American military forces and the American Judicial System to weaken, to dismantle and to eventually displace its peoples from their ancestral land.
The introduction of the article, entitled ‘’The Trail of Tears across the Mississippi Valley’’, emphasizes the fact that, ‘’…There were ten million Native Americans on the American continent when the first non-Indians arrived. Over the next 300 years, 90% of all Native American original population was either wiped out by disease, famine, or warfare, imported by the whites…’’.(http://www.univie.ac.at/Anglistik/)
