The conflict between settlers and natives started pretty much right away (i.e. the early 1600s), long before there was any union.

If there are 1,000 miles between each settlement of a thousand people, that's fewer deaths than European countries inflicted on each other during WW2. The fact that you don't think numbers are relevant is baffling to me.
