Seeing Red: Indigenous Land, American Expansion, and the Political Economy of Plunder in North America (Published by the Omohundro Institute of Early ... and the University of North Carolina Press) Paperback – August 1, 2023

Dr. Witgen unfolds a series of events or "case studies" from throughout American history which reshape/contextualize how the audience perceives this republic/nation-state/land as a whole. Most definitely worth a read.

A tremendously meticulously researched and needed history of the systematic takeover of Native lands in the Northwest Territories during the late 1700's and early 1800's . The book focuses on Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin showing a variety of sources colluding to take their land including bad treaties and how whites strong armed them into signing them. There is much focus on mixed race "half breeds" and their key role in these territories. To a lesser extent Witgen shows the differences in how Natives were treated in the South and the role slavery played in all this. A great study.
