@andrewc2768 As this film points out, the European colonists were heavily outnumbered yet the native Americans did not see them off.

@alanheath A stone age society cannot"off" one which invades with steel weapons. Natives in America couldn't even make bronze.

@andrewc2768 What evidence is there that they were warlike? It strikes me that if that were the case then the native Americans would have seen off the Europeans pretty quickly.

[andrewc2768]

how do we know that the native inhabitants lived in relative peace? there is no evidence of that, Im sure they were warlike
