does erasing history erase the present?
1600-something: Pilgrims sail away from British persecution on the Mayflower and reach Plymouth Rock, from where religious freedom happened forever. Also there were some colonies I guess.
1700-something: Britain terrorizes the good colonists, who protest by dumping tea in a harbor and signing a piece of paper that says "we're America now" called the Declaration of Independence. Britain starts shooting, America beats them because America always wins. Ben Franklin, George Washington, some other guys.
early 1800s: War of 1812, whatever that is, some Indians disappeared, some steam engines appeared, the south got a little bit too mean to their slaves so Abe Lincoln sent the North to kick the Souths' butt and then slavery ended forever circa 1860-something.
1900s: World War 1 happened because someone got shot, w/e
1920s: Jazz! Literature! The good old days of capitalism!
1940s: Hitler appears and starts killing Jews. Time for America to save the day! Also Russia/Japan/Italy were villains too but America always wins because they're the good guys.
1960s: Vietnam was bad because communism and Russia and that's why your gym teacher still gets flashbacks. Blame the commies. Also Martin Luther King Jr. ended racism forever.
2001: oh no, this time the villain is Muslims! George Bush/Barack Obama will save the day! "Random" searches at the airport for all.
2008: First black president. See, racism is over!

But anyway, the USA produces more milk than any other country in the world, there's no need to exploit other countries for it.
That is all.
it was longer ago, though, which is maybe why people are less shocked by it? i think most people are well aware of the stuff we got up to in India and China, at least, but calling it imperialism is just kind of stating the obvious since it made no pretense to the contrary
I was just reminding Mojave that any company with innoucous or relatively innocuous origins (which I think that Company had) can be turned into a monster if they get enough money and leeway.
Spices, silk, tea, cotton, opium, that kind of stuff.
The spice trade was how they started out i think, but they quickly expanded into other things and spice became a lot less significant for them. Spice turned out not to be as lucrative as they hoped since they were in direct competition with the VOC, a Dutch company... the East India Company preferred to establish monopolies where possible.
They do make other fruit go bad if you keep them in a fruitbowl though. So they're jerks.
