Hit the Nail on the Head.....couldn't agree more.
They lost because they're fukcing losers. Not because it was an impossible challenge to successfully defend their lands, people, and cultures.
Do you know how hard it is to take out and conquer indigenous peoples?
It's hard as hell!
The United States were big underdogs in the Revolutionary war. The British were the world's biggest super power. They outmatched and outnumbered the American forces in every aspect in every way. They vastly outnumbered us and were marching trained troops into battle that had the best gear, weapons, training, were experienced.....and our side was marching in a handful of inexperienced troops and supplementing their numbers by sending in men....well, a lot of boys too, and a lot of the men were more like senior citizens....very gray, old, slow, and weak.....these men were farmers, millers, blacksmiths, innkeepers, common laborers, etc., that served in volunteer militias....and represented a much higher percentage of who we had going into battle than the men that were actual troops.....and their combined numbers were still usually dwarfed by the number of British troops.
Long story short, do you know why those rag-tag American patriots won their independence by defeating the British?
Because they were fighting on their home turf, and there are two implications resulting from that being the case that are very significant.
One, being familiar with the terrain and lay of the land offered our guys the opportunity to use guerrilla warfare tactics. Knowing they were grossly outmatched on a traditional battle field where the British preferred to fight.....our guys smartly forced the Brits to split their armies into small battalions, and made them come and get them. Separated into small groups and marching across a countryside unfamiliar and totally foreign to them.....we started taking hem out at their knees by ambushing them where they knew the result would be every last unsuspecting Brit being massacred.
Two, it's one thing to be shipped off to war and passionately fighting for your country while not being that afraid of giving it the ultimate sacrifice and laying down your life........and it's another to be fighting to defend your home from being burned, your wife being raped, before she joins your children and any other family member by some troops in an invading army dispatching them by shooting them like dogs. An army who's mission is to destroy your way of life by leveling the homes and buildings you and your community has built, taking anything of value then and going forward, killing as many of your neighbors and fellow countrymen until breaking your collective will in order to oppress and control the people they view as their subjects who's lives are worthless.
Those who are forced into fighting in order to defend their homes, people, way of life, liberty, and their pursuit of happiness......they fight with much more heart.....the highest level and willingness to fight to the bitter end without giving up that can only come from the desperation of man knowing he has nothing to lose, because if he loses he has nothing.....what he is, what he has, and what he cares about becomes nothing.......he fights with the desperation of losing everything unless he's victorious, but he also fights without fear because he has nothing to lose if he loses.....and this makes him willing to fight so wholly and fully that no other man that fights for any other reasons will to win can even be comparable to his.
The Americans won the revolutionary war for the same reason why they later lost Vietnam----it is really fukcing tough to win a war when "winning" means defeating a homogeneous grouping of people while fighting them on their homeland.....while knowing if they lose it means the end for their people. Any that are left living after the initial war will have their freedom.replaced by the rule of those that conquered them, shortly before the conquering people have replaced their own people to inhabit, live, and thrive on the land that was once their homeland.
The natives put up an effort against the whites that was a fukcing joke!
Seriously, talk about a people with an utter lack of heart....
Whites didn't dominate the natives due to superior technology, and they sure as shit didn't dominate because they had the numbers. Eventually they did but there was a shitload of time where whites were grossly outnumbered in what is now MN and it would have been ridiculously easy for the natives to exterminate every last one....and then exterminate every one that came onto their homeland from then on out.
The natives lost because they had no heart and rolled over. They were total cowards, stupid to the point of being mentally inferior, or both.
A handful of whites stumble and limp onto your homeland and then decide to squat there....while looking around weak and weary not knowing how in the fukc to survive in such a strange land....and the natives don't find it alarming enough to do anything about more and more of them coming, and them increasingly getting acclimated and figuring shit out and learning how to thrive in their new home.....and the natives don't go, "fukc this shit....time to eradicate these cockroaches...."
Uh, Okay?
Most peoples would have had enough heart, intelligence, and foresight to draw the line at this point in history:
When the white invaders go to one of your more sacred sites and start building a giant fortress.
If the natives hadn't rolled over and let whites take their land without hardly putting up a fight....if they had been like the American patriots who only a few decades earlier defeated the British, or the Southeast Asians who defeated the US in Vietnam.......they would have not let the whites complete the construction of Fort Snelling. They would have instead decided to massacre all of them no later than when the Fort was halfway finished. Any person then, let alone the entirety of native people, should have had no problem seeing the half finished military fortress the whites were building and known it would be virtually impenetrable once completed with any chance of taking it from them costing them casualties in such a high amount....they should have known how imperative it was to never let the whites complete it. It wasn't some secret installation. Fort Snelling from it's inception was the entry point of white settlers, supplies, and [when needed] troops, onto the native's homeland.
Fort Snelling was ground zero for the infiltration and occupation of their homeland and strategically it granted whites military superiority that was used to conquer them.
Any native living back then to lay their eyes on the fort instantly realized this, since it was blatantly obvious. Even when it was nothing more than a location some guys were ordered to camp at prior to any structure being built to defend that location it was blatantly obvious.....it was Grand Central Station for whites to travel onto the frontier and then make where they wanted their stop.
If the natives in MN had half the heart and intelligence of the Southwest Asians did as a people to win Vietnam......they would have successfully defended their homeland by killing every white to dare set foot on it until about 1900. Who knows? Had the Ojibwe/Chippewa and the Sioux chosen to stop fighting and massacreing each other, settled on a truce, and then joined forces together to fight and massacre whites instead?
Shit....seriously, they could have held onto MN for a while. It sure as hell wouldn't have became a state in 1858.
The fact that it did illustrates just how pathetic the little the natives cared about what most other groups of people would have given the whites more than they could've handled for a loooong friggin' time. The natives truly didn't give a shit about their land, their way of life, or the welfare of their people.......
........and it's very apparent that was the case back then because of how evident it is nowadays they haven't changed as a people, whatsoever. They're the SAME.....EXACT......PEOPLE.....as the ones who rolled over to the whites by throwing in the towel before ever making an actual effort to fight for what was theirs prior to losing it.
The Sioux uprising doesn't even deserve being labeled as, "Too Little---Too Late."
Uh, let's see....MN was already given statehood and thus ruled by the federal government, since there law superceded all others. The federal government split unto itself and is engaged in arguably the worst civil war in human history, totally strapped for troops and resources to the point twelve year old boys are some of the uniformed bodies being carted off battlefields to be thrown into the piles with the other dead.....
.....and then and only then, do the Sioux finally have their balls grow big enough to jump on some horses with their buddies, scream their high pitched war cries, and then ride around the prairie to massacre some whites.
Talk about a pathetic attempt to the point of being cowardly. It's like punching a guy your buddy beat the shit out of after he's already down on the ground and knocked unconscious......
"Ooooh.....such heart and courage.....way to go.....way to show how much of a "bad ass" you are......you dbag."
That's basically the entirety of the effort to "fight" the native peoples of MN put up against the whites.
We won and conquered them fair and square, time to remind them of that fact.....and stress to remind them that more importantly.....we'll never brag about winning because it'd be like winning after getting paired up to race the kid with down syndrome in grade school gym class. You're happy that you won but it's not like you ever were challenged while battling the other party.
