The Anglos were less brutal than the Spanish and Portuguese.

In fact, it was the British Crown that used the Indians against the rebellious colonists that stirred up the first trouble. Before that, all were living relatively peacefully. Indians then took sides in the War of Independence.

Indians were used in many ways. The French fought with Indians against the British. What I've learned is the Anglos were less brutal to Indians as they conquered. Less brutal than the Spanish and Portuguese were.
