No numbers support your theory of Indian killings. The numbers of Indians killed- by outright massacre, and relocation, so grossly outweigh the miniscule number of whites killed I fail to see why you even bother. The Indians were indeed great warriors, but in a completely different fashion. And they were vastly out numbered, and they did not have the military establishment and tradition that the whites had. Political correctness has nothing to do with it. Great warriors do not win a war- superior military force, supply chains, and technology does- none of which the Indians had. I had to suffer through 9 units of Indian studies to meet my general education requirements- and the reading I had to do in this area was very depressing. You can't quote the number of whites killed by Indians because it isn't collected and the data isn't reliable- reports of atrocities committed by Indians were often manufactured. But there are estimates of how many Indians were killed JUST on the Trail of Tears. Even you could find those numbers.
