Default A list of all the corruptive things America has done

I know it may seem like a cliche and somewhat stupid question to ask, but can you guys help me compile a list of all the corruptive things America has done during it's entire existence. I'm not just talking about present day stuff; things like buying/stealing the land from the Native Americans, etc.

Thanks in advance.

The Americans here are very patriotic, and would not like to see their reputation tarnished, so I wouldn't expect any help, if I were you...

Just wait for Foolosophy to read this, he'll compile a list (mostly full of bull) that's a mile long...

There was a 200 dollar price tag on Native American scalps after the French and Indian War. They repeatedly quartered land off for them and took it away a few years later. They exploited them for manpower, furs, and military training. They obliterated their culture. It's disgusting.

'corruptive' is a tricky word.
but ...
we fought a civil war to force our southern states back into the union after they seceded.
now we lecture China about not allowing Taiwan's independance,
and we lecture Russia about not allowing Chechnya's independance.
different eras bring different philosophies,
but it still makes us look bad.

It would be far easier and quicker to list ALL the GOOD things the USA has contributed to the world.

The citizens of the USA are only allowed to recognise ONE Holocaust

Here are some of the mistakes that 'America' has made:

Bringing blacks to our great nation.
Allowing illegal mexicans to cross our border.
Electing Jimmy Carter.
Not fighting the Vietnam war to win it.
Allowing liberalism to flourish.
Pretending Barack Obama is black.
