No, they were, very much. Europeans were invaders, taking land that didn't belong to them by force. The government explicitly encouraged murder and turned a blind eye to any abuses. If you don't want people to defend their land and avenge the love domes you murder, maybe don't invade and ethnically cleanse the are to begin with?

Do you also think Russia v. Ukraine or Israel's genocide don't have "evil" vs "good" sides?

Because if you're invading and murdering innocent people, its a clear cut for most people.
