To be perfectly fair, the English settlers and their Indian allies treated the French settlers and their Indian allies much the same.

This was a war to see who would dominate North America, the British or the French. It was not a war between absolute good and absolute evil.

The atrocities committed by each side were similar in type and in scope. We hear about those committed by the French and their allies because they were committed against "our" side.

Perfectly fair my foot.

I collect old history books, and the stories of the INdians and their savagry against the settlers is well documented.

And there are no stories of Englishmen capturing Frenchmen and selling them as slaves in the new world.

Wherever the French are involved, we're talking absolute evil!
