- 1) there were way more native Americans then Europeans
- 2) A trained musketeer was not that superior to a trained archer, archers can fire volleys much faster
- 3) shouldn't Europeans be *just* as susceptible to Native American diseases as the other way around?
- 1) the American people were not nearly as densely populated as Europeans were at this time, thus making the number's difference between the colonists and the Americans closer to equal.
- 2) The Americans were very tribal and thus did not present a united front against the Colonists, in fighting and cooperating with the colonists assisted the colonists in taking over the Americas
- 3) The American's didn't fight back, they attempted to work with the colonists and be all buddy buddy until the evil Europeans betrayed them (yeah, I suspect this view is also biased, but I don't know)
- 4) the Americans were recovering from their own epidemic about the time that the colonists arrived, thus thinning their numbers out (not sure where I heard this, but swear I heard it once?)
- 5) The colonists technology included better understanding of tactics and fighting as a cohesive unit, which allowed great tactical victories despite otherwise equal forces.
