10. The cause of the Indian wars was Native American rejectionism...
the land settled by the early white colonists was less than 0.1% of the North American continent, and they paid fair price for this with real feathers and real beads. The Indians weren't happy with this so they attacked the settlers and were defeated, even though the land wasn't privately owned by anyone beforehand and they weren't even doing anything with it.

So the white settlers gained territory in a defensive war that they didn't start. If the Indians had made peace with the white colonists then they would already have a state of their own, but their leaders led them astray by promising they would slaughter the whites. If the red man had his way all the whities would be pushed into the sea.

Plus, there was never an independent Native American state. Whitey took Manhattan and made a bustling metropolis, if the Indians were still in charge they would be chasing after bears with their wangers hanging out.

Its all true. None of you damn liberal pantywaists can argue with the facts.
