Mistakes were made, not a bad thing to admit that. A lot of those mistakes are still causing problems today.

Mistakes were made by both sides. The indians killed innocents (women and children) just to terrorize the settlers thinking they would leave.

I’ve always said that the stronger culture won out. The indians were primative beings who would still be nomdic and living in teepees if not for the European settlers. If the English had not initially settled America, Asians or other Europeans would have.

It’s like the argument against La Raza who wants Texas, NM, AZ and Calif sent back to Mexico, since the US stole the land. Had Mex held on to these territories, they’d be just like the Mexico we see today, corrupt, poor, and underdeveloped, just like the US would be had the native cultures remained preimminent.
