The Indians sided with the French in the French and Indian War when we were still a British colony.
Then, as you say, they sided with the British in the American Revolution, as we fought to be a free nation.
The Indians again sided with the British in the War of 1812.
Afterwards, the Indians continued to fight in many small wars.

I recognize that Americans started some of the problems -- but certainly not all the problems. The Indians opposed us every step of the way, and they paid a price. And anyway, look at history: thousands of years of people in conflict. Some folks won, some folks lost. It's just the way it goes, and the Dacians are no longer upset with Rome about how they were treated.

The Indians lost. It happens. I don't worry about them.

Some Indians assimilated and many “white” folks and some “blacks” have Indian blood in them. I’m one of them and so is my daughter in law. I had a client several years ago who had the features and hair of an Indian but the color of an African. She said her grandmother was Indian, I forget which tribe. It’s one of the blood lines that makes this country great but its the ones who assimilated who thrived.

From the Declaration Of Independence:

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

If liberals had a clue that this was in there, they would demand that it be removed.
