The inquisition existed in Spain (most known), France, German and the low countries. The inquisition was a Christian institution. The English punishment for treason was to be hung for 5 or so minutes, cut down, then the genitals were cut off and the belly slit open, genitals and entrails burned while the person was still alive. The individuals head was cut off, and displayed on the Tower gate and the body cut into 4 quarters and disposed of at the pleasure of the King. If I remember correctly the English considered themselves Christians. The Native Americans were no more mindless savages than the Europeans were ruthless barbarians. As I said, just people. Capable of great cruelty at times and also capable of great kindness at times
And none of that disputes what I posted. Europeans were quite brutal in their day, and became less so over time, largely due to the influence of Christianity. By the time the USA came into being, the (American and European) culture had evolved to where drawing-and-quartering type punishments were not commonplace anymore, nor any of the other brutal things that Europeans used to do. While at the same time, INDIANS WERE STILL DOING THINGS LIKE THIS. That is the point. Modern leftists like to portray American Indians as peaceful noble people when they were often far more savage than the Americans ever were, or the Europeans had been for centuries.
