Didn't it take innovations in guns to beat the Comanches?

It took 27 years from the 1st 6 shot Colt revolver (1847) to Palo Duro/Red River war against the Comanche (1874 with after effects in 1875).

It was a strictly foreign concept that you dont do these types of things. A concept brought over by Europeans. Comanche, and many tribes lived only for survival. Reading about these things makes it easily understood how terms like savage came to be used to describe them along with so many supporting the eradication of them.


I mean you can argue that we are all a product of the societies we are raised in and that morality is relative.

But I can’t wrap my mind around tape and torture being anything but wrong
