Ok and also Canada offered free Native land to Ukrainians, literally replaced Natives with Ukrainians because Ukrainians were considered more white.

Yeah, also the admission of captain William Trent in his journal entry admitting he gave handkerchiefs and blankets infected with smallpox to natives. This biological warfare killed about 95% of the native population.
![Jeffrey- Amherst and Smallpox Blankets
Lord Jeffrey! Amherst's letters discussing germ warfare against American Indians
"...every Tree is become an Indian...." Colonel Henry Bouquet to General Amherst, dated 29 June 1763,
Lord Jeffrey-Amherst was commanding general of British forces in North America during the final battles of the so-called French & Indian war (1754-1763). He won victories against the French to acquire Canada for England and helped make England the world's chief colonizer at the conclusion of the Seven Years War among the colonial powers (1756-1763).
The town of Amherst. Massachusetts, was named for Lord Jeff even before he became a Lord. Amherst Collegewas later named after the town. It is said the local inhabitants who formed the town preferred another name, Norwottuck, after the Indians whose land it had been; the colonial governor substituted his choice for theirs. Frank Prentice Rand, in his book, The Village of Amherst: A Landmark of Light [Amherst, MA:
Amherst Historical Society, 1958], says that at the time of the naming, Amherst was "the most glamorous military hero in the New World. ......the name was so obvious in 1759 as to be almost inevitable."
history of the naming of the town of Amherst. New York, shows a similar idolizing of the general:
On April 10, 1818, the Town of Amherst was officially created by an Act of the Senate of the State of New York. This new town was named for Sir Jeffrey Amherst, an English lord who was Commander-in-Chief of the British troops in America in 1758-1763, before the American Revolution. King George Ill rewarded Lord Amherst by giving him 20,000 acres in New York, but Lord Amherst never visited his new lands. [From: A Brief History of the Town of Amherst.
(Amherst Museum, 1997)

Indigenous nations understood from the first shot that the Revolution meant one thing: **The colonists want everything.** Dragging Canoe said it clean — the white men intend our destruction. And he was right. The settlers called it destiny; Native nations called it what it was: invasion.

What say you @elfdock.bsky.social ?
A truly illuminating read. Reynolds makes a compelling case that northern Australia’s colonisation was fundamentally different from the south—and could not have been achieved without Chinese, Japanese, Pacific Islander and First Nations people. Essential reframing of Aus history. #read2025
