"they believed in rape, slavery and torture." When i went to school, they taught that too. The spoils of war have never been safe, even after european descendents' victories.

longnshort, I'm not interested in any thing the PC people have to say. I never said that Indians were Saints, but that they were not the savages that the settlers claimed them to be. The Pilgrims, and other settlers, killed of entire tribes with their muskets, or diseases. Rape, and torture, were results of war between the tribes. I believe if you spend the time to search European history, the same was true of the white race. Slavery was practiced in Africa, and Europe, thousand of years ago, and as we all know, far to recent in America. As for rape, slavery, and torture, take a close look at the terrorist moslems. I want the list of tribes that were rendered extinct to find the time such could have happened, who it happened to, and if they actually became extinct, or became new members of the tribes that still exist today. When certain tribes became weak, and unable to keep up with the others, they would be taken in by the stronger tribes as equal members.
