Yes it was, I never said it wasn’t. Fortunately though these tribes were by and large conquered, and nation states and civilized by the time europeans began settle the New world.

American Indians were too Conquered, if civilization had evolved in americas and Europe was still nothing but savage tribes and expansion had happened the other way, the same result would have occurred.

Yes, precisely so. I think we are making the same point. One could speculate that it was Christianity that had evolved and made the difference in civilization so that the Indians were not wiped out.
