"an all-out war was raging between the colony and the Tasmanian Aboriginal peoples."
So which is it going to be? A heartless genocide of innocents, or an all out war?
You really can't have it both ways... tell me now - did these fearless Aboriginal warriors spare any prisoners they took or any wounded etc? Or did they kill any they could get their hands on...?????
How long ago was it legal by Aboriginal law (recently surfaced) to kill Whites?
All Aboriginal place names should be expunged.......
Here is an amazing article - amazing for its obfuscations and blatant 'spin'.. e.g. "Tribal leaders such as
Manalargenna, on the east coast, gave up attempts to deal with whites and
became a feared resistance leader, Professor Ryan said.
Such men led bloody raids by Aborigines on settler families as the conflict intensified.
They were
met with
attacks by hundreds of British soldiers as well as paramilitary roving parties."
https://www.smh.com.au/national/more-than-1000-died-in-tasmanian-war-says-histor..."Mr Windschuttle rejected armed conflict as a key cause of the devastation of Tasmanian Aborigines and discounted suggestions they could have mounted organised guerilla warfare. He found plausible records for
120 killings by settlers and counted 187 whites killed by Aborigines."
