What was stolen from them? Why is the US theft and Constantinople is just a battle lost? The Colonists won a battle (several battles) across a vast, untamed continent and were magnanimous enough to give the losers their own lands to build casinos and sell cigarettes.

Andy Jackson was pretty good at bringing various indigenous tribes to the table, working out a treaty and then re-negging on that treaty. Knowing the land under the tribal ownership would suddenly become available he'd swoop in, buy the land up on the cheap before anybody else could do so and then sell the land for immense profits. Just ask the Cherokee Nation about Andy Jackson.
