73. None of the above.
Pioneers were a mix of violent sociopaths and empathetic people wanting a better life.

An example of a most "successful" and violent physical and cultural Genocide was committed against the American Indian and native ecology in the USA.

Desperate people of good heart also ecked out a new and hard life of hope as a by-product. Population grew and immigrants came hoping for the same better life. Genocide against peoples and nature continues and is exported. Cynically, "Benefit" is propagandized and disproportionate.
