Serious question about native history..

[Capt.Jack Sparrow]

Guys, I was just looking at pictures of some aztec pictures and than all of sudden it popped into my head

Whats the history between native tribes vs aztecs?

how did they get along with each other? did they fight each other? were they friends? you know that kinda stuff

I've tried googling it but no results

If anyone knows a website about it or something about it please let me know

i think its pretty intresting to think about

Depends on the native tribes you're asking about.

The Aztecs were pretty well-known for raiding neighboring tribes and capturing members of those tribes for sacrificial ceremonies. They wouldn't conquer the neighboring tribes, they would just use them as sort of "sacrifice farms", and every so often they'd come back and raid again.

As you might imagine, this led to a tiny little eensy bit of resentment among those tribes. So when the Spanish conquistadors came around and went after the Aztecs, those neighboring tribes were "cooperative".

I know the Tlaxcalans allied with hernan cortes to defeat the aztecs but im talking about the native american tribes from Present day U.S.
