The pre Columbian Indian cultures where ALL stone age peoples. Even the Aztecs and Maya Cultures where war like stone age men. Their where few with any written language and even fewer with more than a cursory form of civilization. Fewer still had much of what would be recognized as ‘culture’.

Perhaps as many as 100 million paleo Indians resided in the Americas prior to Columbus. As many as 90% of them where wiped out by the Columbian Exchange due to diseases like Small Pocks, Influenza and other diseases they had no immunity or physical ability to combat.

By the time the English started truly settling the North American continent, it was mostly empty of people.
