A few years ago I decided to leave the world of television and spend my entertainment dollars on only a TH-cam Premium account. This is precisely the content that drove my decision. Incredible!
I recently went down the Aztec empire rabbit hole and Aztecs did not have the logistics to hold territory for the same reasons eastern US Indian tribes had. Instead, i theorize they leaned into terror tactics, intimidation, lightning raids for their, eventual, industrial scale levels of human sacrifice in lier of an occupational army. Using brutality as a force mutipler which eventually backfired on them in the most epic way.
I can’t say how many times I have heard of European captives describing being forced to flee days without food until a cash of supplies suddenly materializes. This was the first time I’ve ever heard the Native American side of things.
Recommend "Primitive War" Its Practice and Concepts by Turney-High. At least the taboo factor is mentioned and the topic is most comprehensively addressed in my opinion. .
Can't say any of these ideas are too surprising or groundbreaking, it mirrors similar societies across eurasia and africa, and I'd bet australia. That said it's well reasoned and was interesting with the graphs and such
What about the Beaver Wars? It seems like the Iroquois were emptying out Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan of rival tribes. They were certainly adopting people to keep their numbers up. The empty area was then open as hunting grounds. Did the author look at this war much? Tribes like the Shawnee and Miami were subdued by the Iroquois. But they never had numbers to occupy lands.
Lehighton Students Investigate: Gnaden Huetten Moravian Massacre & Ben Franklin's Fort Allen. Lehighton's Gnaden Huetten Massacre (November 24th, 1755) occurred after the start of the French and Indian War with Gen. Braddock's Defeat (also known as The Battle of the Wilderness) in July 1755. (The Gnaden Huetten Massacre along the Mahoning Creek Valley of Pennsylvania should not be confused with the massacre of the same name in the same named valley of Ohio in 1782. In the Lehighton massacre, Shamokin Native Americans killed peaceful Moravians while the massacre in Ohio was retaliation by wilderness forces committed against the native people of that valley.
Power is someone who willing does their tax because they are happy to give it... force is when someone does their tax because they are more worried about the punishment if they dont. Force is generally there... and one can argue that social pressures and mores are both power and force. Power is given force takes.
The Colonials way of war was to move settlers out into "empty" land. We had the numbers to occupy territory and hold it. My family did this to the Shawnee from the 1730's in the Shenandoah Valley up to the War of 1812 here in Indiana. We were bad neighbors but we had the numbers and the will.

I signed up for Wayne’s talk with the Museum of the US Army but I missed it. This is my luck day.

This lecture is a necessary antidote to the utter claptrap published by John Grenier on the topic.

The anecdotes about feuding/raiding parties and the cache system were new to me
