That was their culture but there were also peaceful people in america before the americans came and on the continent of africa there were tribes doing similar things.Also to say that africans were living in mud huts, i think that's a gross representation off the facts, it comes off as a slight against african culture. there was more to africa than mud huts but i'm sure you weren't referring to the entire african civilization so i'll let that be.The thing that is a fact though is when the spanish, europeans, and portuguese came over their diseases devastated the local population who they came in contact with.
