A Children's History Of The Expedition Into Native Owned Territory.

A Companion To The Series About The Backgrounds, Family Psychology And Ethical Discussions, Education, Social Relationships, Financial Motives, Covert Political Activities, And Family Legacies Of The U. S. Representatives And Senators Who Managed The Eventual Annexation Of This Vast Territory. Oh Wait, No Such Series, For Thousands Of Years Most "Historians" Have Viewed Any Extended, Complete And Clear Discussion Of Personal Motives And Characteristics And Morality Of The Political And Military Actors To Be Just Poor Taste, Like Discussing How Sausage Is Made, Except Anecdotally; Better To Just Write An Adventure Story; It's Not Cowardice In The Face Of Dangerous Sociopaths, It's Just, Well, Sensible To Avoid The Issues.
