I obviously have a LOT more to learn about the American ancestors that were here. Very interesting though. The whole Aztec situation I find very intriguing. It seems by their cruelty and violence they held many other native groups in their thrall. So much so that some of those groups aided Cortez in the final destruction of the Aztec society. I have heard estimates of up to 40 million could have lived in the central Mexican area.
Yeah, Cortez and company wouldn't have prevailed if they hadn't become community organizers -- the Aztecs were the enemy of all their neighbors.
