Several ethnicities and nationalities were affected by the US Manifest Destiny movement of the 19th century. Some may include Mexico, Hawaii and Native American nations.

Are some or all of these peoples now trying (or even succeeding) in taking back what was "stolen"? Land, culture, etc.?

You look to believe that all the six and a part billion persons residing on the earth wish to are living within the "holy Land". Count me out , I would not supply you 2 cents according to rectangular mile for it. Just precisely what does the United States have got to do with the "holy land" ? Why do you are saying that America can not permit it ? Why does America have got to do the whole thing , although it isn't our land , or our situation ? Jesus has not anything to mention , He hasn't stated whatever seeing that he used to be finished a few thousand years in the past . Pease on you too .

Well I haven't seen any rebellions in Hawaii or on any of the Native American Reservations in the news and the Mexican army is not trying to push through our borders so I would say no. Even the Southwest that used to belong to Mexico was taken from the Native Americans by the Spanish who were far more cruel than the US ever was.

I think you are a bit MIXED UP and better READ/LOOK further into past History!!

Not only did America WIN the War with Mexico BUT, they eventually PAID Mexico for the LAND!!

You Idea is a common 'misconception'!

The Mexicans are NOT trying to get the Land that 'once was theirs back' BECAUSE if they did, they would WORK harder towards it...FIRST, by FIXING their OWN Country and MAYBE then give it a go.

ALL they are doing is SUCKING THE 'Lifeblood' of America, crossing our Borders ILLEGALLY, BREEDING "ANCHOR BABIES" like cockroaches and DRAINING it's Social Services which were set up for Americans!!

IF 'anyone' has a right to Gripe, it is the American Indians, NOT Hawaiians or Mexicans! The Hawaiians are 'fine' ...as a State now and as for the Mexicans....hahaha.....they wouldn't want to TAKE over America....they couldn't govern or run it, they want it ALL HANDED TO THEM.....Social Services, Welfare etc, etc,..look at the CORRUPT Govt of Mexico!

LISTEN to me and LISTEN well.........BEFORE they 'even try' there will be another American Revolution, such as America has never seen!!

Why do you think the White Supremacists and Skinheads are GAINING in Numbers & Support and the "Gun Control" Laws WILL NOT be changed "The RIGHT to bear Arms" for self protection ...... think about that, my Friend!

All the land we got from the Mexicans we paid for, fiqure in current value and inflation I will be glad to let them have California back, but I doubt that their crooked POS government could afford to buy it.

I am part Native American.



I am a descendant of the people that you talk about who had their land stolen.



If you wish to assuage your guilt of living on the land that was stolen from my ancestors, you can start by giving me YOUR house.



I will be more than happy to accept.

Give it up newbie, if you go down that road we need to give America back to the Indians, and that includes Mexico, south America and Canada. This kind of victim-think is more socialist crap used to give youngsters a 'cause' and their perpetrators an income.

The southwest is half mexican, so yes. They stole it back by being unpleasant to live near.
