American Krogan drops some beautiful truths about the White man's burden and native savagery in his takedown of Bioshock Infinite. Specifically in Chapter 2. Plenty of tribes stood down peacefully, but there were those who simply enjoyed extreme violence and believed in their own divine ownership of the land. For them the only acceptable outcomes were genocide of the whites or death. They received death.
And in some ways, I think they were still in the right in that belief more than the European colonists, simply because they were in fact there first. No moral judgement, simply based on the most neutral fact possible they "owned" the land first.
But if you try to fuck around, you can't be upset when you find out. Even worse, when you drag down a much larger amount of people who didn't want to fuck around with you, you are committing outright acts of evil that you can't blame on anyone else.
They were the OG alt right combatting mass immigration.
People never stop to question as to why, despite there being a rather large number of various native tribes still up and kicking all over the place even during westward expansion, there was not much pushback.
Atleast part of the answer basically boils down to 'Alot of said tribes absolutely fucking hated one another and would gleefully use all these new european technology to ramp up the killing, and payback is an utter bitch.'
