I understand your point, but in this context that statement could come close to condoning Bundy and friends' actions.

And, of course, it could be said that every square inch of this country was taken at the point of a gun.

(Except for Manhattan.)

It was not to condone Bundy, however in the ensuing atmosphere after Manifest Destiny and Texas bouncing back and forth from a Mexican Province to independence to statehood Florence's ancestor, Jose Narciso Cavazos, had his ranch stolen out from under him by that carpetbagger Richard King. Of course had that not happened I would likely have never met and married her and that would have been terrible.
