Also, presuming Native Americans to be "a people" (as in, homogeneous and unite-able) overlooks that they themselves frequently felt completely at odds with other, regional tribes & peoples. So, 'divide & conquer' usually wasn't necessary for the Euro invaders.

Also, in quite a few cases, some tribes would actually fight alongside various Euro factions against other Euros and other tribes.
