The intentional genocide never gets talked about so all there is is this sense that everything from before 1492 just kind of petered out. Wars were fought over this land. Horrific massacres of whole populations. Forced conversions and mass enslavement.

What struck me recently is how in South and Central America, the indigenous population is much more visible than it is in North America. Does this imply a more genocidal approach by the British vs the Spanish?

This map, simply put, is mostly Eurocentric. I live 40 mins (in WI) from Mississippian ruins/structures built 800 years ago at the latest.
