Thing is: in 1807, very very few people actually went to the frontiers and killed natives for fun. The vast majority of them were just trying to live as best they could, and probably treating their neighbors reasonably well -- just as we are today. I think in 2207, or very likely even 2075, people will look back at today and think we were savages because of killing off 100,000 people a year with guns, letting children starve across much of the world, burning millions of tons of coal and oil, self-destructive things like that, which, again, the vast majority of people are not actively involved in doing.
