The Definition of savagery is the quality of being fierce or cruel
The definition of savage is (of an animal, or force of nature) fierce, violent and uncontrolled
In this class period I have just read part of a textbook from the 1800's describing the indians found in north america.
If I were an american student racing this back then I would have a completely skewed picture of the american indian, they described them as savages constantly, and only talked about their more primitive ways of living. They described their wives as slaves to them, and made it look like they were completely stupid, insulting their language and lack of books.
