Right... not all were there to make a better life. A good portion of them was there for business. Not your imaginary “better life” story that was pushed at you during middle school to make you feel better.
Not sure how we got from A to a bizzaro world where most immigrants came here hoping it would be worse for them. OMFG .
As an aside - my tribes came from both Poland and Ukraine in the later 1800s to get away from famine. They were hoping there would be less food here, so I see Okee's point. :derp: /sarcasm

My ancestors as I have pointed out were Native Americans... their lives were fucked over literally and figuratively by your ancestors.

Sorry, point your finger in another direction. All my ancestors did was escape Europe to find food. There weren't a ton of mass shootings of native Americans in Chicago in the 1890s.

Also 1890, Chicago was already on it's way to becoming a corrupt city... so I wouldn't boast about that too much.
Wow, first, I never claimed to be a history expert. I'm also not a geography expert, but I'm pretty dang sure that my ancestors were not soldiers at Wounded Knee in 1890, seeing as how they immigrated to Chicago, via Ellis Island, in the 1890s.
