Actually I inteneded to post this as part of the sticy thread on civilizations. Oops. In context my remarks do not sound like flameing.
As to those of you Europeans on here who have never heard an Ignorant thing about America read that thread on civ's. In it there are certian assumptions made about the state of affairs here in America. The following are Ideas that I have heard on this board about the peoples of America They are FALSE.
1.) That the US is just a carbon copy of Great Btitan in most every important way. The people culture and launguage of England are the main overwhelming influence on the culture and people of the United States. Simmilar sentiments abot Mexico visa v Spain .
2.) That the Native Americans other than the Aztecs and Mayans lived in the stone age. There were no cities in precolombian America outside of Mesoamerica. The natives played only a supporting role in essentially european conflicts in america. Further more that the natives have had no lasting impact on the culture and people of the America's.
3.) General minimalizeation of any thing that any one in America did in the period that the game cover's.
I will look for links to post that have said things like thie latter. It is 2:32 AM here.
Please do not look at my trying to correct misconceptions about my homeland as a flame. Take it as a learning experience.
