well America did it pretty well

Well after the American Revolution was finished, we stopped. There was the whiskey rebellion but it was a small affair. ie after the revolution we actually got something better and stable. only one civil war in +200 yeas not a bad record.

The native americans would object to your theory. I think the only difference was that America was plenty big and the people killed there didn't survive in significant enough numbers in America today so their view of the whole affair doesn't concern many people nowadays.
