Not only that but another inconvenient fact that the loony left leaves out about Indians is that certain tribes, especially the Apaches and Comanches were roaming the land nomad style tearing mother fuckers UP before the white man ever stepped foot on this land. They were warmongers who were raping, killing and pillaging long before the Europeans came over and civilized them. They were problematic to the people who lived in America before white people ever set foot in America.
I mean hell, the Pawnees aligned themselves with the American military so that they would take out the Sioux. They actually protected us constructing the railroads in exchange for us collecting Sioux souls for them.
I'm not trying to play revisionist historian here. Was the white man brutal? Fuck yes we were, but people need to realize that our brutality stemmed from the fact that women and children weren't off the table, and that was something that we had rarely experienced before.
You're going into a fight as a civilized white man expecting men to fight men and that at the very least the children would be left alone, and you come back to your cabin out on the prairie and your children have been tortured and mutilated?
I can see why those settlers were out smashing skulls and scalping injuns. If anything, we didn't fuck them up enough.
