Answer 3

Um, the early settlers were Modern, Advanced, Civilized, Developed, Progressive, Sedentary Agriculturalists, as were the members of the Nations who were, at first, somewhat entertained by the shenanigans. Hunter-Gatherers none of them were, though a spurious argument could be made that way about a handful of Free-Trappers. Once you lay a footing for a structure you cease being a Hunter-Gatherer even if you do SUPPLEMENT your beef and mutton and corn and potatoes that you buy and raise with some deer and cattail roots. Factually, If, indeed, the premise were sound, there'd be no tales of woe regarding starvation, exposure-to-the-brutal-elements and the ever appetizing cannibal isms Nope. Hunter-Gatherers they were not.

You know what they were? They were, as the Continentals termed them, "misfits and undesirables"; Con Artists, Religious Zealots, Thieves, the ADD/OCD incourageable trouble makers. In Biblical text they're called Exiled. And because they lived in European Cities and Countrysides they had full knowledge of stores, buying, selling, bartering, "borrowing", doctors, hospitals, churches, roads and all the myriad of associated sundries commensurate with commerce.

Which is why they hadda have the meen-ol'-redskin-savages teach'm that pumkin is really just squash, maize is really just mealies, and turkey's good as goose.

And once the settlers considered all those things, in keeping with Fully Civilized custom passed down from the time before Egypt, they sacked their competition, destroyed their libraries and instituted Liberty, Equality, Fraternity for all..... their fraternity.

A couple generations later they added Industrialization to the moniker, but only a Sedentary Agricultural Society can become industrialized - Hunter-Gatherers became extinct.
