Same situation as the USA civil war. Lincoln never argues in a state court that slaves have learned English, slaves have become Christians and can not be only partially human in the law having no right to vote and no legal capability, etc. Lincoln just calls up the army and attacks the civilian population. After the civil war thousands of peaceful natives were marched off of their successful self sufficient >>>>>>non subsidized<<<<<< farms hundreds of miles on foot to a camp where 2/3 of the population dies. The natives were not recognized as human in the law.
