liviti,
I wouldn't worry about those who "romanticize" history. I would worry more about the fact that history is "politicized".
It is just a known fact that whites are looking for any historical facts no matter how small, to try and "muddy" the issue of their great guilt.
So they bring up the miniscule amount of "mixed" Indians, some of them with white chiefs, in an even smaller amount of tribes who enslaved Africans, so now they throw things out of proportion.
350,000 white slave owners and 2 Indians enslaved Blacks.
In fact the person trying to bring up the Indian slavers is the one trying to "romanticize" history for current POLITICAL REASONS. .
White history that is.
