Eh, not always the 'best nation in all ways, but I'm not sure I'd define America as evil.
Description
N/A
Pro Round 1
Pro paints a bleak picture of many of the worst actions of America.
. . . I suppose a defense against this can be context, progress, comparison with other countries, what a country was in the past is not necessarily what it is today.

Con Round 1
True, 'some of the decline of Native Americans can be attributed to Europe.
But not 'all of it.
I'm not sure forced Cultural change is a 'great argument, but it is 'an argument.
Con 'does do better with examples of Native American culture, that goes against our and a number of past American values. Though I think it's debatable 'how 'many Native Americans acted in such ways.
I don't think Reservations are a 'great argument, but it 'does argue against Pro claims of 'complete genocide.
. . . Con continues in this vein with other examples in American history. Arguing America has often been a lesser evil, if not a 'good nation. Involved in a number of conflicts out of 'attempts for right.
Con has Sources.

Pro Round 2
Forfeited.

Con Round 2
States self to be present.

Pro Round 3
Forfeited.

Con Round 3
Argues some coups can be for greater good.

RFV
I did not see Con address the slavery argument, but Pro did not further expand upon it.
Con was around for all three rounds of the debate, and addressed the bulk of Pros arguments, while Pro did not address Cons.
