The Native Americans of the NE and Great Lakes Region in the 18th Century were some of the finest guerrilla fighters the world has seen.

Apparently, the relatively sophisticated Mississippian indigenous civilization that flourished east of the Mississipi River was disrupted and decimated by Hernano de Soto in the 1530s, which reportedly included a lot of slaughter, murder, mayhem, and introduction of European diseases the indigenous people had no immunity for. That seems to be one reason when widespread contact occurred between English settlers and native peoples later in the 16 and 1700s, the settlers viewed the indigenous people as relatively backwards and incapable of sophisticated civilization. The settlers actually were not really aware of indigenous North American civilizations prior to disruption and widespread European contact.
"In 1539, Hernando de Soto of Spain landed seven ships with 600 men and hundreds of animals in present-day Florida. Follow his fruitless search for another Inca or Aztec Empire, as he instead encounters hundreds of Mississippian cities through which he led a three-year reign of terror across the land-looting, raping, disfiguring, murdering, and enslaving native peoples by the thousands."
