The tribes in the Americas were not united. The European settlers were. The cultures were fundamentally different and incompatible, quite apart from actual warfare.

Even among the less warlike, more agrarian tribal cultures, the lack of understanding about crop rotation apparently doomed them. Advanced localized civilizations, such as in Ohio (Cahokia), were long dead by the time the European settlers arrived, replaced by much more primitive ones.

I do not extol murder of anyone by anyone, in particular not the murder of children in ritual sacrifice.

But the descendants of the Europeans have devolved to that level now in the form of abortion - so I think this decadent culture is entering its last stages as well.

P.S.
Not all European enclaves were the same, any more than all American tribes were the same. The Anglo settlers were far less involved in the kind of butchery you chronicle than the Spanish and related. I share with many others the sense of ironic wonder that so many of the descendants of American Tribes claim Spanish with pride, and reject English, considering that fact.

I agree.

England France Spain and Portugal were leaders in colonization of the new world

I love America, and liberty and freedom, and security.

All of those colonial powers wiped out millions of indigenous American humans.

I don’t feel guilty for loving America and Americans.
