Your history is lacking.

No doubt it is. But I didn’t say that all tribes picked the losing side, only most. The fact is, if I were an Indian, I’d find the French much more sympathetic to my well-being than the English. The French basically came to America to trade while the English came to settle, often on my lands.

After the French lost, the Brits tried to prohibit English settlement beyond the Appalachians—Proclamation of 1763. As an Indian, I like that idea. The Americans in the person of Capt. Washington of the Virginia Militia started the F&I War thought they had a right to settle the land the war was fought over and won. This was one of many grievances that led to the War of Independence. At this point, from the Indian point of view, the Brits are the good guys and the Americans are the bad when the American Revolution begins.

The Indians weren’t stupid. They rightly saw us (Americans) as a threat to their existence. It really boiled down to economics. Forty acres of land could support a whole lot more of us than them.

My heritage is Heinz 57 varieties, a mixture of all. However a large portion is Native American on both sides of my parentage.

Native Americans should get full restitution before the black slaves!!! LOL
