This is what I don't understand.Why does everybody,except Victoria,think that Magua was so evil?At least he had a reason for wanting to kill.If someone killed my child,you'd better
believe that I wouldn't let them go unpunished.Munro and his
troops had no reason to kill innocent children,and yet everybody
has the nerve to call Magua evil.If you don't call killing little
children evil,then I would like to know what it is.Yes,Munro was
heartless(no pun intended),and I think that the British and the
French were the real villians in this story.
