Again you are mis informed. The Puritans came to America in the 1600's, Washington's time was in the mid to late 1700's...100 years later, well after Britain had established dominance over the colonies. The so called atrocities were predominantly done by British colony types after 1715, and even then they weren't as prominant as much later, the French and Indian war was in the 1740's and both sides had multiple indian tribes fighting for them. Much of the so called tyranical abuse of Natives, in the 1600's ( When the Puritans where migrateing to the US) was from the Spanish and that was south of the border. American abuse of native tribes started up in the late 1700's and early 1800's, particularly with the Trail of Tears by the Florida Seminols and the subugation of eastern tribes that ended in the 1880's with the subugation of the plains indians/western tribes and the slaughter at Wounded Knee.
Don't believe those current historical accounts you read in modern schools, it's mostly bogus anti American tripe.
