quote:Complely wrong. When the first settlers got here the interstates, water systems, sewers, and cities like NYC already had buildings like the Empire State building built and ready to go. Everyone knows that. Duh.
“We birthed a nation from nothing. I mean, there was nothing here,” Santorum told students
Historians will also note that the "red sticks" around what is now known as Baton Rouge were making the route for a loop around town--that has yet to be built.

The native Americans were stuck in the STONE AGE. They didn’t even have the wheel.

Maybe someone can help me out I haven't delved much into the diff tribe histories outside of what we learned in school.
We didn't have any of the huge civilizations like you saw in Central or South America and I feel like at some point someone would have came and wiped out the tribes here anyway. Or they would have just died off and not have advanced their communities.

If not, don’t hire him. I’m convinced at this point his replacement will Todd Aiken to paint all people to the right as dumb as he is. Van should speak out against this since he’s a huge opponent against cancel culture and properly understands it unlike his idiot colleagues.

I mean, if we’re being honest, the Indians in North America, for all intents & purposes, were a collection of Stone Age Hunter/Gatherer societies. Most were uncivilized and savagely brutal tribes, practicing things like cannibalism, genocide, systemic rape, and slavery.

The only thing anyone needs to know about Native Americans now is that they own shitty dirty casinos where you can drive by people chugging bottles of XXX marked liquor while beating each other up
Thats the only culture there is
This is totally incorrect and ironically is a product of how leftist Hollywood portrays Indians.

Some areas, especially in the Southeast, the natives were very good farmers and had cleared large areas to farm.

I’m 20% Native American (Creek) and his commentary is typical of American history in general.
Am I going to go BLM and start a culture war?
Nope...

Are you speaking of Santorum's comments or just American History in general?

This is hilarious since a large part of our early political system was derived from the Iroquois. We also celebrate a cultural holiday every November thanking Native Americans for teaching us not to starve in the “New World”.

quote:It is surprising how untrue that is. Eastern tribes were reasonably civilized. For example, Indian roads existed throughout the East. Many originated as Eastern Bison migratory routes over millennia, and were further cleared by Indians as the Bison went extinct. "The Great Indian Trading Road ran from present-day Petersburg Va to Columbia SC." (I-85 route) All were serviceable for early colonial travel. Many present roads in the East still follow those old Indian routes.
Rail, roads, cities... we built that!
Eastern Indians were agrarian. They lived in permanent villages or towns. They cleared thousands of acres of farm land, used crop rotation and combination agriculture to maintain soil fertility (e.g., corn and pole beans or sunflower in the same field when acreage was limited, or rotation allowing fallow recovery when multiple fields were available).
Over hundreds of years vast farm fields were cleared with fire, then progressive felling, and eventual stump removal.
As Europeans arrived with smallpox in tow, Indian populations were decimated. In some cases populations dwindled to 5-10% of original size. As small groups continually reconsolidated, they abandoned their roads, settlements and farmland. Europeans took advantage.
