Innocence is a concept that does not apply to the establishment and growth of what we now consider the United States of America.
None of those people were innocent, and what transpired with the native population was not very innocent. The native population has a long history prior to that without innocence as well.
Recalling all the world or ancient history books I have studied or skimmed - the only time recorded anywhere that I can find mention of innocence would be Adam an Eve in the Torah/Bible before there was a bite of an apple; which some people do not believe is real history.
At least I would be interested, and I suspect others on this site, if you have studied or reviewed other history books that talk of a time of real innocence. Please provide the reference.
When did America really lose it's innocence?
