    Except for the Louisiana Purchase

    The Louisiana Purchase was like buying a house from someone who doesn't own it (but claims they do) and then forcibly removing the actual inhabitants. It is an ugly scar, not an "achievement"

    "But if the Louisiana Purchase was bad, then so was settling the 13 colonies!!!"
