I am quite familiar with New England Native American History. You exagerate the hell out of the "savagery" of the Native people. I grew up on Long Island and study of the Indians of New York and the New England area was part of our curriculum. So, I got the type of propaganda that you spew and also later studied the actual facts.
The wars between Indians and Settlers in New England were largely political wars such as the King Phillip war which by English and colonist views was started by King Phillips attack on Swansee. But if you examine the actual history it was precipitated by the English pressuring the Native American's to give up more land. Then the English tried and executed several Wampanoag and King Phillip said fuck you and attacked Swansee.
Almost all hostilities in the New England colonies were in response to trade conflict and the Europeans encroaching on the indian's lands.
Again, if someone showed up at your door and tried to take what is yours, would you fight them or are you just a fucking snowflake?
That does not make them savage, it makes them human.
The same things that you would applaud a white man for doing you will condemn another race for doing. Straight out bigotry and self delusion thinking that you are somehow better than someone else when you would do the same exact thing.
