First it was the Native Americans, then it was slaves and indentured immigrants, and finally it was organized labor. The nice part is that history education in MN is fairly decent about illustrating this

OK, but also to say that the country was ‘built’ is kind of a false premise, that feeds into the whole capitalist fairy tale.
