Boots' migration First wave
In addition to the colonisation of "savages" on other continents, this first wave led to the constitution of the United States. applying a very simple strategy proposed by Sir Edward Waterhouse :
In response to pillages, slaughters and enslavements they endured, Indiens Powhatan have killed three hunder settlers
In relation with this event, Sir Waterhouse proposed this very simple strategy to the rulers of the British Colony
« Sir, our hands which up to now were tied by frendship and morality, have been freed by the vicious violence of those savages. As the law of war and the law of nations allowes us to do, we may now invade this country and destroy those who wanted to destroy us…« To subdue them is much easier than civilized them gently…« The victory may be obtained by many ways : by force, by surprise, by starvation if we burn their canoes, break their fishing material, pursue them with our horses while they are hunting, and let our dogs eat them, dogs which confuse those naked, tanned and twisted savages with the savage beasts they so much like.» ("La Résistance indienne aux États-Unis", Élise Marienstras )The results of this strategy exceeded the most optimistic forecasts as one can see on this map :

Of course, those methods offended good souls, people who may be considered as founder members of the N.G.O. and to whom John Quincy Adams has shut the mouth in an oration pronounced at the anniversary of the Sons of the Pilgrims, december 22, 1802, and announcing his capability to become the President of the United States that he became in 1825 :
«There are moralists who have questioned the right of European to intrude upon the possessions of the aborigines in any case and any limitations whatsoever. But have they maturely considered the whole subject? The Indian right of possession itself stands, with regard to the greatest part of the country, upon a questionable foundation. Their cultivated fields, their constructed habitations; a space of ample sufficiency for their subsistance and whatever they had annexed to themselves by personal labor was undoubtedly, by the law of nature, theirs. But what is the right of a huntsman to the forest of a thousand miles over which he has accidentally ranged in quest of prey ?
«Shall the liberal bounties of Providence to the race of man be monopolized by one of ten thousand for whom they were created?
«Shall the exuberant bosom of the common mother, amply adequate to the nourishment of millions, be claimed exclusively by a few hundreds of their offspring?
«Shall the lordly savage not only disdain the virtues and enjoyments of civilization for himself, but shall he control the civilization of a world?
«Shall he forbid the wilderness to blossom like a rose?
«Shall he forbid the oaks of the forest to fall before the ax of industry, and rise again, transformed into the habitations of ease and elegance?
«Shall he doom an immense region of the globe to perpetual desolation and to hear the howlings of the tiger and the wolf silence for ever the voice of the human gladness?
«Shall the fields and the valleys which a beneficient God has framed to teem with the life of innumerable multitudes be condemned with everlasting barrenness ?
«Shall the mighty rivers poured out by the hands of nature as channels of communication between numerous nations, roll their waters in sullen silence and eternal solitude to the deep?
«Have hundreds of commodions harbours, a thousand leagues of coast, and a boundless ocean been spread in the front of this land, and shall every purpose of utility to which they could apply be prohibited by the tenant of the woods?
«No, generous philanthropists! Heaven has not been thus inconsistent in the works of its hands. Heaven has not thus placed at irreconciliable strife its moral laws with its physical creation.» oration extract from
An oration of far-reaching consequences, seing that to the thirteen stars at the time it has been pronounced, thirty-seven others have joined them.
Pedestal Inscription
«Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses
yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your
teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed,
to me: I lift my lamp beside the golden door.»
«The great man wanted only a little, little land, on which to raise greens fror his soup, just as much as a bullock's hide could cover. Here we first might have oserved their decietful spirit.»
Delaware view, passed down through the oral tradition, of the first arreival of the Dutch at Manhattan Island, about 1609
Besides what, to help them to raise greens allover the New World, they needed to evangelize us too…
Conclusion : a flag with fifty stars, each one of them commemorating a genocide…
And they are proud of it !
