Regarding history, the Aztecs and Incas were slaughtering people by the 10s of thousands, many by cutting the hearts out of living victims. Mexico claims we "stole" land from them, but the plains Indians (I have Comanche ancestry) prevented Mexican settlement of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona for 250 years. If anything, the Comanche and Kiowa owned northern Mexico by force of arms for several centuries.
In summation, the historical narrative is written by the winners. The law is written by the winners. Morality is determined by the winners. For example, if we had lost WW2, Americans would have legitimately been tried as war criminals just like the Nazis were at Nuremberg -- think the firebombings of Dresden and Tokyo and the atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Gen. Curtis LeMay said so himself after the war ended.
