> "the subjugation of indigenous people" in the American west began long before the transcontinental railroad

So did "empire building" and "westward expansion," but those assertions don't seem to have bothered you despite suffering from the same deficiency in the same sentence.

I see, good to know you weren't looking to make the political point you expressed above but merely wanted to be technically correct.
