Does the saying

So did france always control canada before it seperated?

How about Mexico where they always in charge of that place?
So...what's your point, that there are a lot of other land-grabbing nations in history? I didn't say that there wasn't.

MOST of it was purchased. Some of it you took from Canada when Britain decided to get backstabby.

Lousiana Purchase from Napolean.
The original 13 colonies is kind of topsy turvey.
The only area that you could say was truly taken was part of the west coast and south western us. Which the us even gave some money so they didnt feel so bad for taking it.
America also tried to annex the prairies and British Columbia.
