Native American tribes fought each other over land and resources frequently before and after settlers arrived.
They had also just signed a massive multi national compact creating a confederacy of tribes that promised to bring years of peace.
Then 95% of them died, for mysterious unknowable reasons. Then some mysterious group had their way of life wiped out, the people scattered and displaced, and eventually forcefully reeducated. But sure, the colonists and later the US had nothing to do with that and they did it to themselves.
Treaties that aim to bring peace are common throughout human history and are often broken.
Everything you described is common throughout human history across the planet.
It’s not good and I don’t condone it. It’s just sus that you are targeting a specific group of humans.
humans do bad stuff and have actually done bad stuff to each other for a long time, why are you drawing attention to one insignificant bad thing that some humans did to other humans? Do you see how useless and dismissive that sentence was?
No it seemed like a reasonable response to someone that is demonizing a group for acting in a universal way. I wasn’t doing that though I was pointing out that OP was so context matters.
