You mean Europeans. They took the continents of Noth and South America from the natives.

....they then left and a whole different bunch of white people turned up to live in the land that had been recently been stolen from the indigenous Americans.

You'd have thought that the indigenous Americans would have tried to take their land back in the time between the Europeans leaving and the Americans turning up but I guess not.

Weird how the Europeans left and Americans showed up...almost like the Europeans just started calling themselves Americans.
