When the Europeans massacred...

We might as well take classic texts such as "The Complete History of the World" as an example:

"In the United States, the 'civilized' country in the world at that time, this genocidal policy was even more brutal. . They repeatedly raised the reward for killing Indians. Those strict Protestant masters, the Puritans of New England, decided in their legislative meeting in 1703 to pay for every Indian skull skinned and every red man captured. The bounty was 40 pounds; in 1720, the bounty for each scalp was increased to 100 pounds; in 1744, after a tribe in Massachusetts Bay was declared a rebel, the reward was stipulated: "For every scalp of a man over 12 years old, One hundred pounds in new coins for scalping;...50 pounds for each woman or child's scalp!"

Already in 1528, Spanish colonists had already had conflicts with the Indians! fought. The Naivas expedition that arrived in Florida was surrounded and annihilated by the Indians and suffered heavy losses. The leader Naivas was killed by the Indians. In 1539, the Spanish army De Soto was almost wiped out by the Indians in the Gulf of Mexico. Only 300 of more than 1,000 people survived. , De Soto was also killed; by 1576, almost all the Spanish colonists' strongholds in the Gulf of Mexico were razed by the Indians; the French colonists were also defeated by the Indian Iroquois tribe in the north; the Baowhatan War in 1622 In 1675, the Indians destroyed 80 of the 88 immigrant settlements in Virginia, and the capital Jamestown was razed; in 1675, the colonists launched the "Battle of the Everglades" and wiped out nearly a thousand Narragans at the cost of more than 200 casualties. At almost the same time, more than 10,000 Indians attacked New England in the "King Philip's War" and wiped out more than 50 of the 90 immigrant settlements. It was known as the largest battle launched by Indians in North American history. Indian casualties during the battle were more than double those of the colonists. In the end, the colonists could only avoid failure by dividing and bribing the Indians. King Philip was killed by the bribed Indians.

The Indians were not as peaceful and peaceful as our propaganda before the arrival of the colonists. This race has more than 300 tribes and is still at the end of the primitive clan commune. The killings between these tribes have never stopped, and their barbarity and cruelty are far beyond the imagination of the Old World. One of the characteristics is that the victorious tribe must kill all the men, women, and children of the losing tribe. The Indians have not yet evolved to the point of needing slaves. They value keeping their original land "never change"; the second is to cut off The number of scalps is used to calculate military exploits, and those with outstanding military exploits become the leaders of the tribe; the third is migration, there is no concept of permanent territory, and they will either give up or be occupied by other tribes.

The rewards given by the colonists described above are nothing more than treating the Indians with Indian methods. What's unfair is just the difference in weapons.

The cruelty of the killings of Indians by European colonists has been recorded before, so I won’t repeat them here. But it is also incomplete to just listen to the stories of the colonists' killings and deliberately forget that the Indians started the killings in the first place.

Moreover, Indian tribes participated in all the wars between the British, French, Spanish, Russian, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian and other colonists. For example, the "Seven Years' War" was fought between France and Britain from 1756 to 1763. In the North American battlefield, the Iroquois tribe sided with the British, other northern tribes were on the French side, and the southern Indian tribes fought with Spain against the British. Philip and Pontiac, the chiefs of the two most powerful Indian tribes, were both killed by the Indians themselves.

In the North American War of Independence, the vast majority of Indian tribes sided with the British to suppress the Continental Congress that fought for independence. The reason was simply that the chiefs were obsessed with the goods donated by the British colonists. Only a handful of tribes fought alongside the rebels. For example, in the famous "Wyoming Massacre" in July 1778, a suppressive force dominated by Indians brutally massacred nearly 400 peaceful residents who supported independence; in central Kentucky, the independent army was almost entirely fighting Indians. The Indians also massacred nearly a thousand peaceful residents who demanded independence, using cruel traditional Indian methods. In November 1782, the brave Shawnee tribe of Indians annihilated a unit of the Revolutionary Army, leading General Clark to lead his troops to defeat the tribe and expel it to the west beyond 13 states. What is commemorative is that this was the last land battle of the North American War of Independence, and it ended with the defeat of the Indians who helped suppress the colonists.

After the 13 North American states gained independence, Britain, France, and Spain realized that this was mankind's first victory over colonialism, and it would inevitably lead to the final burial of colonialism. So the three colonial powers joined forces to stem the tide of colonial independence, but it was the Indians who started the war on the colonists' behalf. With the weapons and money provided to them by the three countries, they continued to attack the newly born United States from the west, serving as cannon fodder for the colonists. The early battles were a victory for the Indians. In the "St. Clair Defeat" alone in 1791, the American army suffered 637 deaths and 263 injuries. In the "Logging War" in August 1794, the Indians were defeated and were forced to sign the "Treaty of Guerneville" the following year, ceding vast land from New York to the Mississippi River. Of course, there were Indian tribes who sided with the Independence Army, but their numbers were much smaller.

When the Civil War broke out, the Indians basically stood on the southern side and fought to the death against the Northern Army.

In 1862, the Sioux tribe of Indians launched a rebellion, and then the Apache tribe also launched a rebellion. This forced the Northern Army to mobilize a large army to fight the Indians in the north. It was in a situation of being attacked from both sides and suffered a heavy blow. If the Indian tribes had not fought independently, perhaps the United States would no longer exist.

The Apache helicopter gunship now used by the US military is named after this brave and capable Indian tribe.

The US military also recruited a large number of Indians to join the army to fight against Indian tribes. The Klute Indian tribe also participated in the American battle to encircle and suppress the Apache tribe. Brigadier General Canby, who was killed by the Sioux, became the highest officer killed in the U.S. Army. By 1890, the U.S. military fought 1,067 times against Indian tribesmen. The war between the Indian tribes and the U.S. Army continued until the "Battle of Wounded Knee" on December 29, 1890. In this battle, 25 American soldiers were killed and 150 Indians were killed. After the battle, the Indians concluded their final battle.
