[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7739984, member: 6925649"] just putting some balance into it, since the popular thing to do is to attack the Europeans and not question the native Americans, even when they do things like Human sacrifice, people say that is their culture, so its not our place to judge them. I don't think the Europeans are on balance any worse than the natives they displaced. The Europeans back then aren't use, and neither are the Native Americans back then the same as the Native Americans today. Native Americans would be giving up a lot of things they took for granted if they tried going back to their old ways! For one thing they couldn't go to a modern hospital and stay true to their old beliefs, they wouldn't have use of a car, or a bus or a train, as Europeans brought those things, they would have to give up their cellphones and their computers, and I'm sure native Americans today have a lot of those things. People tend to romanticize the Native Americans, and vilify the European/American colonist/settler. Now just to make things clear, the Europeans didn't come here to kill Indians, they came here for new opportunities, in many cases to escape oppression in Europe, the only other avenue for them was to overthrow the king, like what happened in France during the French Revolution. A lot of fighting was involved there, much safer to find some more land in the New World and establish a farm. It was either this: [IMG]https://tse4.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.KYMRS42ce6wTnouRaLW01gHaFA&w=289&h=195&c=7&o=5&pid=1.7[/IMG] Or this: [IMG]https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.bq9_EsA7Wo_TXrC2M1znsQHaG3&w=173&h=160&c=7&o=5&pid=1.7[/IMG] So which would you pick? Would you rather "storm the Bastille" or establish your own homestead in North America? Seems to me the former would involve a lot more fighting than the later. [/QUOTE]
