Personally I don't think any people are heathens or backwards or savages, or superior. I think everyone is different and then they have their upbringing and their surroundings that must be taken into consideration. These are things they can't control more than a little. I have spent plenty of time wondering if Cortez and his men told the truth or not. But they were invaders. Its hard to blame anyone for defending their land and their families. The Cholulans had heard about the trail of blood the Spanish left everywhere they went and knew they would likely be enslaved at least. I'm fairly confident it's true on both sides. I would bet the Spanish were planning to conquer the city either way, and I bet the Cholulans were planning to defend themselves. The war dogs that take up a large part of my imagination. People with horses, war dogs and guns killing people with stone blades, slings and arrows is hard to defend in my opinion. Thanks for your input!!!
