This is a poignant and visceral look at the cruelties and extremes of the evolution of Western societies. It's not flattering, and it shouldn't be. It's a direct reflection of what really happened and is rarely, if ever, mentioned in most American history courses. Colonization and the basic demoralizing of the "savage races" go hand-in-hand. I'm sure that many conservative American white people will refuse to accept the truth that it delivers.
