Facts like this always remind me of the propaganda found in my high school 'Merican history text book. Gosh, I wish I had kept it so I could prove it said this, but I recall it distinctly, at least paraphrased. The summary at the end of the colonial period chapter said:

“Never before in human history was a large land mass like North America so sparsely populated that European settlers found fertile land mostly unoccupied. ”

1989 … they taught me this … in high school. 🤦
