The indian wars were indeed often savage. Both sides took and gave no quarter. The Whites won because if superior numbers and better organization.

That isn’t true at all, the American soldier took care to limit death, they took care of their POWS, and protected women and children as best they could, they fought like demons, and then immediately switched gears to protector and provider.
The American soldier was usually out numbered and fighting on the enemies territory, facing worst than death if they were taken alive.
A hundred and fifty years ago the American soldier faced the cruelest enemy our people have ever seen, a hostile press that promoted the enemy, an indifferent public (except for the civilians in the region), and believe it or not a hostile congress.
The Indian wars were a great credit to the American soldier.
