re: If all the Native Americans had united, could they have stopped the White Man?

No. Because: diseases.

between ships, horses, disease, christianity (white superiority complex) and gunpowder the natives didn't stand a chance.

Not reading 4 pages, but If the french had won the war against the engrish things may be much different. They were much more open to accepting native culture.

We've won decisively, imposed our will and killed millions, but you can't tell me these middle eastern peoples haven't resisted. They're the only people in the world that haven't submitted to the white man.
They are tough, and have their mountains to aid them.. Here, Indians would have forest, swamp, and mountain.
Without plague, America would currently be the equivalent to that situation

If they had been vaccinated? Maybe.

It's seems like white people are the dirty disease ridden people. You never hear of the white people getting diseases from natives. I'm white by the way.

While the white people marveled at the Indians' physique, the Indians were disgusted by the stench and filth of white people.

This is because whites lived so closely with domesticated animals, and had generations of immunity.
civilization wins again

I believe their only shot would have been if they attacked at the first site of a white man. I think they could have defeated a travel weary Columbus and crew. If they would have kept Columbus and other explorers from returning to Europe, the Europeans might have actually believed the world was flat or that the journey was too long and dangerous to continue sending ships out. It was a pretty significant investment to send out a ship to explore.
Fighting off one ship at a time would have been their best shot.

Do you realize they were using guns that you had to manually load to shoot each time up until the American Civil War?
How the hell can you compare that to guns we have now?

Also, the infighting of tribes can't be used.. The Middle East is full of tribes and different factions fighting and killing each other.

the arabs were kicking spain's arse so it's conceivable native americans could have done it too if not for disease
