Aryan invasion theory of USA and the Wild Wild West.

When Columbus first came to America, the Europeans called them selves "English" And the Americans as "Indians" as Columbus thought he had discovered India.

Soon however, Europeans from Germany, France, Holland, and other EU countries settled, so they called themselves "Christians" And native Americans as " Heathens "

.

This point a theory was floated, that the Native Americans Heathens were outsiders and that they migrated into America via Baring Straits, and the White Christians were original people of America.

Over time, the Christian Missoneries were successful in converting many native Americans, who could no longer be branded as outsider heathens, arming with this bizzare theory.

But by now Christians imported African Slaves by large numbers, these slaves were labeled "Black" In contrast with European descent who refered them selves as "White".

Later it became politically incorrect to be referred as black and white, it was claimed that " Race science " Had located European people in the Caucasus Mountains near Turkey.

Hence forth "Caucasian" Replaced "white".

Now caucasian too has become politically incorrect and has been replaced with " European American "

From 1600 to 1900 American literature refers to land captured by white Americans as "settlements" And "civilised" and the boundry between these different settlements were called " The Frontier " , this zone was seen and considered dangerous and a place were "Savages" lived.

But these territory was highly precious to capture. Only brave men with courage and frontier experience would venture into them, so they came to be called "Frontiersmen"

The frontier also symbolised an alluring, exptoc locale. It was filled with astonishing landscape, animals, culture, and opportunities that differed highly from Europe.

Frontier men played 'good cop' and 'bad cop' the first would be friendly with the natives and the second would fight them openly. Both were necessary to take over their land.

The first would be seen friendly and settling among the natives, and reporting their discoveries to white settlements, just as the missionaries and English anthropologosts were reporting back home from India.

At times they even fought alongside the Natives only to help negotiate 'peace Treaties' capture their land.

Native American's image and narrative by the Frontier's men characterized their culture as oppressive, unjust and primitive full of superstitions.

Ultimately these two good/bad cops served their goals in capturing their lands in intrest of white christian expansion.

Hollywood romanticism on this subject and to cover Up historyl ead to glorifying frontiers men which now they call the "Wild Wild West".
