No one is blaming you.
I’m saying, we can’t look back and tally a score.
The winners we’re the survivors.
The indigenous people’s paid a very high price per capita, as a result of European settlement of North and South America.
You missed the point entirely. And we can’t back and tally a score? That’s exactly what you’re doing. Hypocrisy is kind of lost on you, huh?
Spain, Portugal, Great Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Poland, Russia, and many other European countries established settlements in the New World.
Many hundreds of millions of humans died and were killed as a result of these settlements.
It’s true that some native cultures were considered abominable to European Christians of the time period.
It’s not okay to justify the deaths of hundreds of millions of human beings, because some we’re very brutal.
That’s all I’m saying.
I think your numbers are highly exaggerated. You have to be careful; revisionist history is exceedingly easy to find. You should be suspicious if the history is blatantly one-sided (as what you refer to seems to be), or if the numbers are unrealistic.
The natives of this continent were constantly fighting for limited food and resources. They were beset by diseases. The only way this continent could have supported hundreds of millions would have been if they had developed a strong model of cooperation, and more adherence to peaceful coexistance. There are hundreds of millions of people on this continent now, but only because we live peacefully, and have advanced medicine and technology. Had the natives developed a civilization model that could have supported a large population, the Europeans never would have been able to settle here. Had that been the case, the American continents would be more like India or China, with the various trade, business, tourism, etc. exchanges that we have with those countries.
The entire population of the world in the 1500s was estimated to be less than 500 million. That fact alone should make you question those sources that claim that hundreds of millions of natives were slaughtered by the Europeans.
