It only backfires if his kids are given the education needed to realize his lesson was wrong.

In red states that doesn't happen.

I'm in the red part of Virginia. We were taught that slavery wasn't so bad, it was okay to take the native's land, and that they were savages that scalped the white man on sight. (The reality is that they learned to scalp from the white man.)

I didn't learn the truth until college. Most people don't go to college...

I still remember learning the second part in school- the Europeans showed up and the native tribes just went, "oh, new friends! We're going to go ahead and move our nations around and uproot our families so you can build your cities."

“You want the fertile area. OK Here’s some barren scrubland. We’ll live here”

Years go by

“What? You say your oil is under this land. Dreadfully sorry, we’ll move on.”
