TIL that horses did exist in North America before European colonization, but they were hunted to extinction by Native Americans 10,000 years ago.

I thought everyone knew that we liberated the americas to protect its natural resources from the greedy Native Americans.

I think that's part of the reason native americans religions taught harmony with the land and its resources. They hunted wooly mammoths and horses to extinction, and some were forced to desert desert dwellings in the southwest and mexico for lack of who knows what.
