    Also the French more often than not worked with the natives, as fur trappers and setting up missionaries, even partaking in tribal customs (a noteable time when the noble governor of Quebec from Paris got into a war dance at a big gathering of Allies). The English on the other hand were far more...

    Perhaps I reacted with haste, mainly due to the very bad form involved with “Actually they sold their woman”, which might of happened but just cleaning it off and saying a okay, done deal, very much feels like denialism to me. I personally lean more into the e genocide argument because I one...

    Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. No. It’s quite simple they fought a Insurrection and because of a incredibly small population they were wiped when they lost. Yeah Euros get overly focused on sometimes, but let’s not compensate by denying a actual genocide. A sort of accidental one but still, a Genocide.

    It’s actually based on a real tribe but its actually the opposite of what the Spanish thought it was.
