Dr. Howard, if you did that you'd probably be thrown in jail. How'd you like it if someone did that to you?
As an individual yes, but in the context I was providing, one country taking the territory of another (indians) there are no police. One couldn't call the cops on pre-civil war america and send it to the jail of nations...at best they could call their allies for assistance.
As for how i would feel as a conquered person. I am sure I wouldn't like it. I am sure the indians didn't like the trail of tears either.
Thats what I mean though, 'our territory was stolen from us' implies that some sort of law has been broken and the police need to be called. Unfortunately for nations there are no police, only allies and if your nation is invaded, occupied and then subdued the right term is conquered, not stolen.
