Is this supposed to be a surprising secret? I was taught this in American public schools as the core reason.

The real wake-up call isn't learning about the historical importance of expansion itself, but assigning a different moral value to it. It's realizing Manifest Destiny is just Lebensraum that won, that there's nothing morally justified about it.

He’s right that the Americans wanted to genocide the indigenous people west of the Appalachians and take their land, and that was a big reason why they declared independence because the British wouldn’t let them.

He’s wrong that the British were restricting expansion out of morals and preserving the land for the indigenous peoples. It was just for the British, that maintaining a military presence in the Ohio Valley was much more expensive than the economic benefits they would get. If the numbers worked out a little differently they would have been just as eager to genocide as the Americans.

And now Ohio is cursed with thousands of miles of pavement
