Against Native Americans:
“This unfortunate race [Native Americans], whom we had been taking so much pains to save and to civilize, have by their unexpected desertion and ferocious barbarities justified extermination and now await our decision on their fate.”
– Thomas Jefferson, The Papers of Thomas Jefferson 1813

yes, america is pretty much always at war. that is why i find it so strange when people are surprised that we are at war. or when people say things like, ‘this is not the america i know’. then clearly you don’t know america. also with the police shootings and this perceived rise in racism. i’ve had people literally say america is more racist then it has ever been.
