I don't agree that the Indians got screwed over. They attacked first, attacked repeatedly and eventually lost.
Read the Rogers' Rangers story and their discovery of hundreds of scalps of women, children and male farmers.
Haverhill, Deerfield, etc.

At the beginning it was a pitched war with the French and British involved. However, towards the end, they also had treaty after treaty negated. Until they were pushed onto the most marginal of land.

A chief at the turn of the last century said it well - when asked if he had any advice for the Great White Father in Washington, he said "watch your immigration laws."

I had an ancestor at the Deerfield Massacre, so I don't need to be informed of that history.
