Oh, come on Jack, "Slaughter?" The native peoples were not delt with fairly, that's true, and they experienced some slaughters, but there were also slaughters committed by them too! Not all of the native people were submissive to the palefaces you know. Or perhaps you don't. Geronimo tied up the whole Army of the west for years, and was never really defeated. The settlers deamonized the natives? Jack, I'm beginning you don't know much about western history.
