“Indians lost, they were an inferior culture.”
All of them? Are you judging ‘inferior’ because of education,
Christian religion, civility, constitutional government?
Because before removal some Indians had attained all that, but it didn’t stop their removal.
“All of them? “
Most of them.
History is full of invasions, and war. Would you suggest we try to figure out who started where, and put them all back where they belong?
Europeans were more advanced than the Indians, they won. The Indians, had they combined forces couldn’t have invaded Europe. If the Indians had joined forces, they couldn’t have stopped the Europeans invading here.
That’s sort of how nature works, the stronger overcome the weaker.
European disease is what did in the Indians of Canada and the USA. Of course there were wars and displacement into reservations but disease was 10 times worse in my estimate
If the Europeans hadn’t conquered and invaded then the Chinese would have within one thousand years of 1492. “Black Robe” and “Last of Mohicans” with Daniel Day Lewis are my favorite Indian movies
Indians of Mexico and Central America were on a much lower plane due to mass human sacrifice and widespread slavery
I can’t remember what indian tribe had the first wheel?
