White American inventor, Samuel Colt, sold his first revolver pistol to the US government for use in the Mexican-American war. Later, the U.S. Dragoon forces and Texas Rangers credited Colt firearms for their great 'success' in defeating Native American Forces. Business for Samuel Colt continued to be successful and his guns have greatly contributed to the development of war technology for example Colt's M16 full-automatic rifle has repeatedly been used by the US for military operations and invasions. Sadly, this unfortunate invention has played a very decisive role in the course of American history and culture.
