The Aztecs were among the native peoples who were slaughtered, right? Only it turns out they were really brutal oppressors themselves. They played a game of who's the better killer and the Europeans won. The Aztecs lost because of inferior weapons technology. If the Aztecs had been the ones with long swords, do you think they would have showed more restraint than the Spanish? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
