I am not going to answer that, on principle.
There are several reasons I didn't spell out the colloquial name. I'll leave you to do your own research.

These American people had a very difficult life for a long time (350 years), and this could play a part in the rebellious attitude of some individuals.
If I was in their shoes, I would probably have a rebellious attitude.

What happened in once family 200 years ago or 75 years ago is the past and you have the choice to (re-)live the past and hang in it or live for the future and try to do your best.
Just my 2 cents.

It is not necessary to compare these 350 years of atrocities with any other atrocities to come to the conclusion that these 350 years were abominable, and that today's culture is still affected.
