I've wondered if today's Americans could have won the Resolutory War. IMO, not likely.
I did some research into what those people were like and what their experience were. First of all, the people that boarded those sailing ships, out of Britain, France, Span and Holand were not pansies.
It took strong people to set sail, for a weeks long voyage to The New World. They had little idea what they were getting into. I did a word search for "Indian & Settler massacres.
I came up with a Wiki table, of massacres, of at least 5 people. The table began with Cortez, landing, in Mexico. I read the table, up to 1776. I was astounded at how many massacres, there were.
The Spanish were far worse than other Europeans. There were many massacres of several hundred, to a a few thousand. One prolonged massacre took the lives of 10,000 to 40,000 natives..
In the time covered, little but America's eastern seaboard had been settled. Beginning in the early 1600s, scores of attacks were made by both sides. The killing of more than a hundred was common.
If you read the Wiki table, note how often it says "captives were sold into slavery"
Not only did Europeans steal their land and slaughter them, they were sold as slaves. Where are the cries for Indian Reparations?
The men that stood at Concord, Lexington and Bunker Hill Got there the hard way.
God Bless America.
