It would still be a shite hole. When white people came to America there were major Universities in England and amazing architecture. The people living here were in fricking tepees. White people created the civilized world and through their own civility over time allowed other to come along. People of all colors should be glad that white people are not actually the evil bastards we have been made up to be or the entire fricking planet would be nothing but white people. Its just that simple.

Technically, the first foray into America by Europeans decimated the Indian people because it introduced diseases for which they had no immunity.

Europeans considered Native Americans beautiful, clean, and an amazing sight to behold.

Europeans were dirty and filthy to the Native Americans.

See, the Europeans created cities, which developed the things you were referring to, but not because they were some great, super advanced civilization in contrast to Native Americans.

They did because pretty all the major, domestication-capable animals were on the Eurasian continent. This led to greater farming as meat didn't require hunting. This led to cities, and poor understanding of disease. The great European cities of the day had animals crapping into their drinking water, spreading diseases and wiping major chunks of their population all the time.

White people weren't "evil", but to think Native Americans should be "grateful" for wiping out 93% of their population is an extreme form of arrogance.

In fairness, europeans were the first people in North America but the asian indians wiped them out 100%.

America was first discovered by Stone Age hunters from Europe, according to new archaeological evidence.

Across six locations on the U.S. east coast, several dozen stone tools have been found.

After close analysis it was discovered that they were between 19,000 and 26,000 years old and were a European-style of tool.

The discovery suggests that the owners of the tools arrived 10,000 years before the ancestors of the American Indians set foot in the New World, reported The Independent.

Finding the tools is being heralded as one of the most important archaeological breakthroughs for several decades.

Archaeologists are hopeful that they will add another dimension to understanding the spread of humans across the world.

Three of the sites were discovered by archaeologist Dr Darrin Lowery of the University of Delaware, while another one is in Pennsylvania and a fifth site is in Virginia.

Fishermen discovered a sixth on a seabed 60 miles from the Virginian coast, which in prehistoric times would have been dry land.
