Majority of deaths came from 'Virgin Field' encounters with Old World diseases! If it wasn't Columbus it would have been someone else. It was an armed bomb that was inevitable! Scholars call this time period The Great Dying. Of the 50-60 million Native American population in 1491, anywhere from 80-95% died from European diseases a century after Columbus’ arrival.
Did “indigenous” people own slaves? Of course, their slaves were their women plus a smattering of young white boys whose homes were raided. The older people along with women and children were raped, then slaughtered.
I stand corrected!! LOL!
Annnd of course, the Native Tribes never, ever committed atrocities against each other..They were all Pollyanna’s until white people showed up
They didn’t have fauzi.
Typical liberal idiot who does not know our history.
You mean he wuzzy there? (I am so going to PC Hades for this!)
The “natives” were also migrants. They weren’t here first.
bkmk
Her revamped (gag) image carried the day. Her new baby blue suit spoke volumes....../s.
Useless in any situation. We have the worst nutjobs in history in our House!
Heaven Help Us!
In every recorded case of different civilizations meeting, the least advanced of the two civilizations got the short straw, being either destroyed or assimilated into the dominant civilization. Many times as second class members.
Something to keep in mind when pondering what would happen if aliens arrived on Earth in mass.
And the tribes killed each other mercilessly before the white man arrived. So?
You mean Disney did not get it right in Pocahontas? I am shocked, I tell you..shocked.
And Native populations plundered and took from weaker ones. How the world works.
The so-called “Indigenous” “First” Peoples cannot point the finger at anyone unless they first point it at themselves, they too are “colonizers”, they too would have to apologize, they too would have to decolonize if they raise that issue with others, and anyone who says anything against the Europeans has to say the same against them or themselves or they are biased, bigots, or perhaps just anti-white racists.
I hate the horde :P
How ironic. One Hindu Indian speaks to US Tribal Indians.
