I want to know the answer to the following question:
Which race was considered living "in a state of nature" by the Europeans?
All the background I'm provided with is that "According to Hobbes and Rousseau, the Native Americans who were being conquered by Europeans from the 16th centuries on were living in a state of nature; this opposition was expressed through the contrast between "civilized" and "uncivilized."". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
