Summary:

From the early 1500's to the mid-1700's, the American Southeast was the scene of continuous tumult as European powers vied for dominance in the region while waging war on Native American communities. Yet even before Hernando de Soto landed his expeditionary force on the Gulf shores of Florida, Native Americans had created their own "cultures of violence": sets of ideas about when it was appropriate to use violence and what sorts of violence were appropriate to a given situation.In New Worlds of Violence, Matthew Jennings offers a persuasive new framework
