Ever heard of the famous Navajo raid on the Mesas? It took place in either 1825 or 1835.
Hundreds of Hopis slain, women carried off sheep stolen. It was a all happiness and rainbows at that time. (snark)
“Hundreds of Hopis slain, women carried off sheep stolen. It was a all happiness and rainbows at that time.”
There’s a common liberal fantasy that all pre-American (USA) cultures and all pre-Christian (native, as in non-white) were all peaceful, full of rainbows and respect for women. But you look at their bones and their weapons and they tell a different story. I suspect that Christian civilization and later western civilization were the relative watersheds of peace and tranquility as far as man living with his fellow man. And, yes, I know all about the many wars. But they became less frequent over time. Interestingly, since the US became the single super power and before Obama I think the world was relatively peaceful. (Remember, in pre-Christian civilizations, much more so than later, it was common to kill all the men who were not enslaved and the women they didn’t take as concubines when they captured an area.)
