yeah but that's because there's a continuum of cultural and ethnic history in ireland that stretches back from the present day to that point in time

basically every single native american who lived in the eastern half of america was killed or forcibly removed from early america. it's worth talking about government policy towards native americans as well as cultural interactions between native americans and euro settlers/african slaves but the cultural divide is so great that imo it's disrespectful to pretend that there's a historical continuation between pre-colonial america and colonial america

Political appointments have always been about cronyism going back to the creation of democracy. This administration will be historically awful with it but lol if you think this doesn't always happen.
