I realize that btw that Indians waged war against other tribes and
Whites but historically all races of mankind have waged war.
Although scalping is associated with Indians many Indians probably
did not scalp enemies prior to Europeans colonizing the Americas
becauae scalping was something that Europeans had done in warefare
for a long time prior to colonizing the Americas. Some Indian tribes
sided with the Americabs during the revolution and aided Washington.
Some sided with the British.
