The “noble savage” is a stock character in Western literature of the Romantic Period, the early 1800s. Primitive people were seen as good and moral, representing a harmony with nature that grasping, acquisitive Europeans longed for. At first, the races in North America traded and got along, but soon the natives were provoked to war. By the mid 1800s, they were “the wretched Indians” who had to go. The true story shows what went wrong.
