I do call it cooked, I also pointed out that this is far from anything close to a “Holocaust” event. 400 years is a long time for a real extermination campaign, if you read my post, I poibted out it’s rediculous compared to the one percent of that time frame spent really focusing on killing every last Jew by the virtue of the Final Solution 1941-1945. It’s far from a deliberate extermination campaign. Unjust and attrocious, but a far different magnitude.
I don’t think it was atrocious. I always believed that Indians gave as good as they got. They were a typically indigenous people - brutal and backwards. Unlike a close friend of mine with a degree in American Studies - I do not believe they influenced the Constitution. (Actually, I think she secretly believes they wrote it.)
