Columbus discovers the new world

After watching "The Searcher", if you can't understand the history of the bloody western development of the United States of America, the history of the butchery of the Indians, you may not have a good understanding of the movie, the ethnic divide and hatred, and the sovereignty of the land. The plunder, the gap and disapproval caused by the export of civilization...
All these will inevitably bring blood to the western development.
Will the Indians live forever in the peach blossom field, or will they accept the assimilation and influence of the whites? Advanced white people will inevitably become the people who lead and rule them!
It's like the Opium War had a great impact on the empire. If there were no Opium Wars and the country had not been opened by guns, maybe we were living in a closed peach blossom field, or there would be more than a few years in the peach blossom field!
When Columbus discovered the New World, he was both a great man and a sinner!
"The Searcher" is a classic Western by John Ford, and I don't see anything special.
