Well, Mr Animal, any time in any form of government, democracy included, not everyone is going to have their way and some will be very upset at that. It comes with the territory but is still the root cause of many problems.

Personally, I think America started in 1607. Spain thinks it started earlier in the New World, but in the present boundaries of the country, just about the same time, only further west. Massachusetts thinks it started later. Then there's the Indian point of view.
