That does not mean the Indians were loving to other tribes. However, the planned mass genocide committed by Europeans is without equal until the Twentieth Century which saw the genocide of Armenians and Jews, particularly, but also homosexuals, Gypsies, and the mentally and physically challenged.
A little known fact is that the term Final Solution was coined by William Sherman who used it to describe the US Government's plan for the Native population.
