Colonies at Risk

In the midst of reading Stephanie Meyers, Eclipse, I came across a passage about colonization. Not colonization familiar in any way to us, but vampire colonization. Hundreds of years ago, vampires ran wild, ravaging the countryside. They were most populous in the Southern U.S. and fought over territory (inhabited by humans ) as if humans didn't exist, or more as though they were livestock. The Vampires began to build up colonies in this area, to brand the territory as their own, as well as the people who lived on it. The Vampire colonization of the South had many similarities and differences to colonization we have seen taking place in the real world. One thing the Vampire colonization has in common with the European colonization of Africa and India, is that the dominating party showed no concern for the people they affected and took control of. One difference they have is that the Vampires colonized the humans without, for the most part, them even knowing, however when the Europeans colonized Africa, everyone was aware of their presence.
