There were people there before New Spain and Mexico claimed the land. I imagine they're qualifying it using something like the map I linked.
most of the land was unpopulated
ah yes, that time when america was a land without people, and americans were a people without land
it had a population density less than Wyoming and had few places with any infrastructure to indicate that it was actually being used
Then it's fine to fasten a noose around the natives' neck and very gradually tighten it?
What else could you be indicating by posting about this in this context? It's true that natives were nomadic people moving through the land, but how does that make it right for europeans to come in and claim land in a permanent fashion from across the globe?
the harm per unit area is much less in the case of the Americas as opposed to palistine
