The invasion of modern Asians, aka native americans, aka the Lenape killed off the prior civilizations: the mound builders et al.
True disease was the largest killer of native Americans fought by their exposure to the Europeans.
But in all reality the intensions of the Europeans was not conquest but trade. The original intensions of the Europeans was trade in furs at first and then tobacco.
Even with Cortez the original purpose of his mission was trade. But when Montezuma sacrificed 200 men in front of he and his men in a single day he decided that this was not a man that could be dealt with but a diabolical creature that must be stopped.
But in today’s society Christian values, a historical perspective of men and their times is not is not permitted in a polite discourse of issues dealing with the races
Reminds me of an old cartoon with Flip Wilson's voice and a Black Queen Isabella - At one point "Chris", trying to sway her to fund him, told her he would discover all sorts of good things, like maybe Ray Charles, etc. She then went wild saying, "Chris gonna discover Ray Charles! Chris gonna discover Ray Charles!".
It was hilarious....
I was there a few weeks ago and some of the 'natives' were burning out a dugout to use as a boat. They had to scrape the insides with clam shells and stone tools. Then they showed us how quicker it was to use steel forged tools (axes), like the Europeans had.
One could easily imagine how envious the natives were for European technology, and willing to trade anything (furs, etc) to make their lives better.
see my post #64 - tobacco and furs were the most valuable items the natives had, in exchange for steel tools.
oy. There are many Liberians back here working home health care.
Why aren’t these kind of things brought up in the election debates??? LOL would LOVE that.

I reject the term for Statists/Collectivists/Marxists. The Left always changes its brand to repackage its poison.
