What Hitler did was genocide. But what the early Americans did is called Western expansion. Go figure.
Sharing information and learning about my ancestors from the South Carolina Lowcountry. I have always been fascinated by the past, from learning about my ancestors to just knowing how daily life was for people who lived centuries ago. I like to travel, and when I do I love to learn about the history of the different places I visit.

Biased History
History has been a bit biased at times. Take for instance The War Between The States. Less than 100 years before that, the American colonies wanted to be independent of England, were known as traitors and started a war to get their independence. We still celebrate that today. When the Southern states wanted to do the exact same thing and be independent of the Northern states and the controlling Federal Government (peacefully I might add and for mostly the same reasons) they were also known as traitors; however, they were condemned for it and still are. What’s the difference?
