I've been reading that lepore book recently, i dont know if you have read it , its called "The name of war", its about the King philips war mostly..., well lepore Argues alot that this interaction that took place with the natvies and euroamericans formed the basis for an emerging american society..., do you agree with that?
I think it has more to do with how the vocabulary of describing war
affects the prosecution of war. Note that the title is taken from William
Hubbard who argued against calling "King Phillip's War" a war at all. In
his opinion those events ''no more deserve the Name of a War than the
Report of them the Title of an History.''
