The conquest of new lands included the disturbance of the indigenous folks’ lifestyles and dishonestly portrayed lives as peaceful and charming. But those are false pictures. The native Americans scrabbled to make a nomadic living, and were in constant wars with rival tribes. Slavery of black Africans was terrible and regrettable in many ways. But as has been stated by more than one historical figure; the people who explored, claimed and developed the continent, and even the slave owners, cruel as some of them were, gave these conquested people a chance at the gift of Christian Salvation; IF they availed themselves of it, as many blacks did and very few “indians” would accept. But to those who did accept, they received Eternal Salvation and everlasting bliss in the next life after this one.
And that’s my opinion.
