      Not really true. The early British colonies had a lot of peaceful trade and alliances with native tribes until the first Indian war. And even after the first Indian war, the British did nothing that could be considered even remotely close to the genocide of the Americans westward expansion.

        “…The British did nothing that could be considered even remotely close to the genocide…”

        Except for the Boer concentration camps, the Irish famine, the Bengal famine, the partition of India…
