Frankly, it was depressing to see how often the US government did not meet its obligations to the indigenous peoples of this country. The Indians also got caught up in European and American conflicts, to their detriment. The Indians chose to act beside their trading partners (English, French, or Americans), thinking they would benefit. That did not happen.
I was surprised that George Washington sent troops after Indians while he was president. Taken as a whole, the Indians were poorly treated and subjected to unfair treaties. This is not a proud chapter of our American history. This is a good overview of the broad variety of conflicts the settlers had with the indigenous peoples. Hourly History has a time limitation (read a story in one hour); this book meets the challenge of showing the broad range of battles across the country.
