Really? You're gonna cherry pick what the History Channel put on a show?
Got news for you, if it wasn't for the Native Americans, many of the first settlers would have died of starvation. They helped the Europeans who landed here, at least, until the Europeans started to screw them over.
And...................in many cases................there are still examples of where the U.S. is screwing over the Native Americans. Go to a reservation sometime, and see what the conditions are there.........................
I grew up in Montana, and I've seen it.
They explained that....are all liberals stupid?
Reservations suck, it's a tough lesson, assimilate or move on.
Indians were not the pefect people you think they were, they were just like any other human. So lets not put them up on a pedastal.
Reservations suck? You're right...............but only because they were put there while the rest of the land was stolen from them.
And................you're right......................Native Americans weren't exactly perfect, but I can tell you that they were a lot more
"civilized" than the Europeans that killed them off.
How do you know, where you there?
The first people to use germ warfare? Europeans who settled here and called themselves Americans. Ever heard of the smallpox blankets?

We don't know if Bouquet actually put the plan into effect, or if so with what result. We do know that a supply of smallpox-infected blankets was available, since the disease had broken out at Fort Pitt some weeks previously. We also know that the following spring smallpox was reported to be raging among the Indians in the vicinity
And...............fwiw...................the Native Americans had a lot more respect for the earth than the Europeans ever thought about. Buffalo used to roam free on these lands and were plentiful, at least.....................until Europeans got a taste for pelts.
