@AnarchoNinaWrites absolutely, the history of America is essentially smugglers, slavers, capitalists, religious extremists, and criminals or sociopaths coming over here to try and make it rich (or at least avoid interacting with the society they left, or upon court order and threat of death for their crimes) so you've got a continent full of the worst misfits and guess what they go off and kill whoever they want, causing major problems for everyone else (and genocide)
