We're on lesson 19 of UH2. My 8yr old asked why the Americans treated our ancestors the way they did? I pointed out that the early Americans are also her ancestors. My husband's family has traced back as far back as Plymouth Rock and say they also are related to Robert E. Lee. My mother is from Mexico and I know that my great grandfather was Apache. The only thing I could think to tell her was that early America wanted to expand their country and didn't take into consideration the natives already living there. Anyone have anything else to add? I really had to think about her question because it seems like there is a multitude of answers.
