There is so much more to it than we usually hear, and unfortunately, many YouTubers who cover this topic tend to have a very biased view, which doesn't help us understand the conflict. So this is my attempt to go in-depth and help you finally understand one of the most forgotten about American Wars, but that is still tremendously important!
