These are well documented historical facts summarized in order to get these events out there in the public. I apologize for not including other key facts and important roles played during these times, but there is enough information for anyone to go and do further research on the matter. ...
American Imperialism
timeline - Part 1
Deuteronomy
20:10-11 (The Message)10-15 When you come up against a city to attack
it, call out, 'Peace?' If they answer, 'Yes, peace!' and open the city
to you, then everyone found there will be conscripted as forced laborers
and work for you. But if they don't settle for peace and insist on war,
then go ahead and attack. God, your God, will give them to you. Kill
all the men with your swords. But don't kill the women and children and
animals. Everything inside the town you can take as plunder for you to
use and eat—God, your God, gives it to you. This is the way you deal
with the distant towns, the towns that don't belong to the nations at
hand.
John Henrik
Clarke, (Christopher Columbus and the Afrikan Holocaust: Slavery and the
Rise of European Capitalism ), looks at the issue from another
perspective which defines the problem, but excludes the cause (people in
power 'writing history' for their own imperialistic purposes):
'Europeans
not only began to colonize most of the world, they also colonized
information about the world. They colonized the Bible. They colonized
all complimentary images that non-European people held of themselves.
The most effective of all of these colonized images was their
colonization of the image of God. Through missionaries, adventurers,
free-booters and slave traders they began to propagate the concept that
God favored them over other people. They were saying, in essence, that
all Europeans were the chosen people of God. [...]
19 But all the
silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto
the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.
20 So
the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came
to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people
shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the
people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they
took the city.
21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the
city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass,
with the edge of the sword.
22 But Joshua had said unto the two
men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and
bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.
23 And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab,
and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had;
and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of
Israel.
24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was
therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of
iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.
