What did the US Declaration of Independence say about Native Americans?
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us
, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
Domestic Insurrections in this case are actually slave revolts, which SSettlers believed were being directly incited by the British officers.
The British signed peace deals banning SSettlements west of the Appalachians. The F**ding F**ers couldn't Imagine furthering western colonial expansion without a first having a revolution.
The American revolution may have been the first revolution for independence in the Americas, but it wasn't the first anti-colonial revolution. That would be Haiti. The world never forgave Haiti for that, even after it payed off all its debts to France for its loss of "property" during its anti-colonial war of independence.
