Impressed would be a better word and I stand by that for the reasons given already. I know empire building isn't right, but I will always refuse to condem our nation for building an empire in the past. How can I, our ancestors understanding of what was right and wrong was completely alien to what we believe is right and wrong now. Plus it would mean we couldn't mock the colonials every now and then
