actually north american indians were a mixed bag. There were vicious tribes, so-so tribes, and peaceful tribes. Of course the PC left doesnt' do nuance, so they have to make them all sit around singing Kumbaya.
In general, more native Americans where hostile to people not of there tribe or tribal association then neutral or friendly. The great European invasion on balance did more to bring humanity to North America through trade, large scale agriculture and peaceful monotheism than the existing eye for an eye justice, slash and burn agriculture or wandering existence could have ever of accomplished.
Indeed. When the Brits took over New Amsterdam from the Dutch, they wanted to get rid of the pesky (but peaceful) Canarsie Indians that lived within Brooklyn, Queens and the rest of Long Island. They brought down the Mohawk from the upper Hudson Valley and they wiped the Canarsies out.
