The white man used this term of derision for all they encountered. It showed that they came to conquer & dispossess. It happened in many situations in Empire building despite the fact that many of these 'Savages' were part of enduring civilisations. It didn't only apply to the 'Colonisation' of the US, (The British were not the only ones to make errors !) but all over the world. It does show how full of mistakes history is, to our enduring shame. The total of European Imperialism, is based on an amalgamation of Roman and Judaic law, and principal. If they called them savages, this, in their mind, justified their actions. All of the Judaic Christian Imperialism, was based on divine rite from Popes of The Church of Rome. I would question the Judaic! If Israel is entitled to the land that they originally stole from the Canaanites. because they claim their god, whom they never even knew, gave it to them. When are they going to return the properties stolen by the European imperialists, to those whom they stole them from? Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but wrather give place to wrath: for it is written, vengeance is mine: I will repay, saith the Lord. [ROMANS 12:19.]
