>Indians sold Manhattan for $25

Splendid! When are they leaving?
>>75790507
The indians didnt do anything with it for thousands of years and probably wouldn't do anything for a thousand more, honestly its 25 bucks they wouldnt of had if they hadnt sold it.
>>75790507
25 dollars bought a lot of whiskey in the 1600s desu.
>>75791131
Yeah, they could at least have put up a skyscraper or two.
>>75790507
Yeah but then they tried to take it back

fpbp
>>75790507
It wouldve been swamp at the time.
>>75790507
The got a handful of trinkets, beads, and a few blankets too I think.
>>75792572
the blankets weren't even warm also
>>75790507
They had no concept of land ownership.
It no different from that company that sells pieces of the moon.

>They had no concept of land ownership.
THEN WHY THE FUCK WERE THEY KILLING EACH OTHER OVER TERRITORIAL DISPUTES? WHY WERE THERE WARRING TRIBES?
>>75790507
The Dutch even paid that 25 dollars worth of beads twice.
The English traded Suriname for it.
Even though they could have conquered it easily with, zero casualties.
All they had to do was try - the Dutch were ordered to surrender at the first sign of an any English soldiers.
>>75790595
Not that kind of Indians.

Those were completely different Indians.
America is a big continent.
>>75790507
The Europeans at the time were just better at making investments... and most other things.
>>75790595
>>75793045
casino indians, not 7/11 indians
>>75793088
Any group of people or animals who don't understand the concept of territorial control is doomed to fail. I don't feel bad.
>>75792674
Had small pox though, but that was an "accident"
>>75793614
The vast majority of Indians were wiped out by European diseases long before meeting their fist European.
Diseases spread way faster than settlers and even explorers could.
It was an accident.

The Dutch then traded it for nutmeg.
