As a member of the Cherokee tribe (native American ID and everything), I can confirm: tribes have attacked and massacred other tribes for no more than lands and gain. Some whites did do horrible things to innocent natives. And some natives did horrible things to peaceable and innocent whites. It is better to forgive each other, KEEP peace that is made and unify than bring up old hatreds. And as a member of the Cherokee, I don't need apologies or gifts or special privileges. Pity and charity is an insult to men in my tribe. It's given to orphans and widows, not anyone else.

If you've never been to Eurpope, I can tell you, castles are a dime a dozen. On our last trip to Scotland I really started focusing on the history of each one vs the architecture and function. Bascilly it came down to one dude taking shit from another dude and building something to protect it or show it off. It was a little disheartening, but still, great accomplishments and I respect the ones that tried to be fair. It's hard to debate that great societies have risen from these "dudes" fighting.

you can actually agree/disagree with both sides, as much as it was the natives decision to get them guns, they needed them to defend themselves against the same white men who sold the guns to them, they also were warriors, which means they lived to fight, the problem was that they went too far to the point of annihilating all the other tribes, they got too greedy and that was played against them. In the case of the Americans, you can never forget the massacres perpetrated by them against native women and children and their greed for acquiring all of north america for themselves, they literally tried to take over Canada, Cuba and Mexico as well, if that happened they would of also taken south america, no doubt about it.

My ancestors raided Spanish, Mexican and American settlers, and were known to sadistically torture prisoners including women and children. They also preyed on neighboring tribes till we were in turn defeated by the Comanche, and wound up having to make peace with the Spaniards or risk being wiped out completely. In short my people were far from peaceable, and I dislike it when white people with no knowledge of my people's history portray us as helpless victims. My people were akin to Vikings, tough and merciless raiders who lived by the proverbial sword, and died by it, too.

It's actually rather surprising how well-read and eloquent Americans were in the 1800s. And they had a way with words which is lost today. Interestingly enough, up to the American civil war, the literacy rate of America was extremely high. About 9/10 soldiers on both sides, the Union and Confederacy, were literate. And as we see from their surviving letters during the war - of which there's many - they were quite well versed in writing. Even a letter to back to their family sounds fancy. Now after the war... literacy just fell off a cliff. It dropped down to 20% in some areas, IIRC. And it didn't really recover until the 1920s or so.

Did literacy become much more important in the early 1800's then, due to increased accessibility of books and such, but then it became so widespread without seeming to bring much in return that it just became less important for a while, being seeing more as a fad than a vital skill? Does it have something to do with the South not having as much money after the Civil War?

As for why it fell off after the American civil war, it's not like people came to dislike literacy... It's that the nation was in shambles. Not for years. Decades. Entire swathes of the generation were cut up... sometimes literally... and just dead. Economically the country was devastated. Socially/culturally, there was just as much if not more turmoil. Significant portions of an entire generation were left in the cemeteries. Some states, especially in the south, were literally burned down almost to every single major town or city. The infrastructure was gone. At the time, there were more pressing concerns and little availability to teach literacy. And it did take the better part of a generation or two for the country to rebuild and find its footing.

It is unfortunate that a lot of natives are completely ignorant of their own history. I have to deal with friends in Canada who are native that don't even know who Tecumseh is lol. If you are native and you don't know who Tecumseh is, don't ever try to lecture a historian on anything lmfao 😂. He and his Confederacy were literally responsible for saving Canada in many aspects. His name is taught to every Canadian student that attends highschool. I personally always kind of related him to a Native / North American Leonidas. A warrior king of the Greek Spartans who marched a force of 300 men to the Hot Gates and faced certain death at the Battle of Thermopylae. But in doing so he became a martyr, he also bought Greek forces enough time to assemble and rally to defeat the Persians at the Battle of Plateau and the Bay of Salamis. I am a European Canadian and even still Tecumseh to me and many white Canadians is a true warrior, worthy of no less recognition. And sure he had his own ambitions for his people, but the sacrifice that he made for Canada and future generations that inhabit this land can never be understated.

@@KaosKrusher It makes sense if you think about it spatially. Happens the world over. For instance, why do we refer to China as 'China' and not 'The Middle Kingdom' or 'Zhongguo' or some latinized version of it? It's because we went though India first and 'China' is derived from the Indian name for it. Same thing for the native indian tribes. Usually we would talk to native tribes and get information from them on who is around them. It might be months or years before we actually interacted with those neighboring tribes ourselves.

There was never fact behind the US side when it came to natives. They painted every narrative they wanted to find reasons to commit genocide. To this day we still get pushed around and y’all dipshits want to say it’s because we were savages. The real savages are the people that pushed us out of our homes, relocated us and used our lands for slavery. We got painted as the bad guys because we were brown and had land they wanted. That’s the fact. Not some bullshit about us constantly fighting each other, that was because white guy pisses off a native tribe and promises land back to another if they help defend the white guy. Then they don’t do it and rinse and repeat until they’re all too weak or just dead. That’s what white history won’t tell you.

This isn't true: American Indians will always tell you about what tribes were their traditional allies, and which were their enemies. Here in Arizona for example, the Akimel O'odham (Pima) are very closely knit with the Maricopa Indians while being unfriendly to the Tohono O'odham (Papago), even though they are in fact the more like the two subdivisions of the O'odham overall, and the Navajo are big historical rivals to the Hopi, as both groups are very different from one another. I didn't even mention all of the other American Indians native to Arizona too (like the Apache, Havasupai, Mojave, Cocopah, Quechan, etc...)

Col Miles is correct. Look at the Mayans and Aztecs. Look at the Comanche in Texas. Those tribes thirsted on the blood of other tribes, and did so before the arrival of white men. There is a reason why many tribes sided with the Spanish and the Tejanos, instead of their fellow Natives.
