on the Gulf shores of Florida, Native Americans had created their own "cultures of
violence" sets of ideas about when it was appropriate to use violence and what sorts
of violence were appropriate to a given situation. In "New Worlds of Violence," Matthew

contact period and the conflicts among indigenous peoples that preceded it. This pioneering
approach posits that every group present in the Southeast had its own ideas about
the use of violence and that these ideas changed over time as they collided with one
another. The book starts with the Mississippian era and continues through the successive
Spanish and English invasions of the Native South. Jennings argues that the English
conquered the Southeast because they were able to force everyone else to adapt to
their culture of violence, which, of course, changed over time as well. By 1740, a
peculiarly Anglo-American culture of violence was in place that would profoundly influence
