	And the Native Americans and the Colonials who broke with the
British Empire becasue they did not want the Colonists to take Indian
land.  The founders of the USA talkled about their empire from day
one.

	But the Puritans and the Catholic did agree on one thing and that
  was that Chrisianity must be brought to the people of foreign lands
  whether they wanted it or not.

	In China they wanted Gold and sold opium against the Emperor's
laws. Eventually this lead  to the Boxer Rebellion which is what we called
the Righteous Fists organization and I believe a a Chinese gentleman who
had been Christianized and studied the bible decided he was an avatar
of Jesus and started the movement to kick out the foreigners.

	In the case of the Spanish, one missionary decided that the
Original Occupants were human beings and the Pope believed him
and that is why legal measures to protect them from the worst
exploitation were put in place.  In North America the Spanish
assisted negro slaves running from plantations.

	In California the missionaries exploited the labor of the
Indian Americans as they converted them to Christianity and
the way they did it was little more than slavery.  The Indians
were kept in close quarters and quite without intention
European diseases spread killing a lot of the converts.
	Then later Mexicans immigrants moved onto the
vacant lands with "Land Grants" authorized by the
Spanish King who had never been to the Americas.
