Introduction:
Life in colonial America was very tough for the Native Americans because of the Europeans. This blog shows that.
Areas of Cooperation:
One of the areas of cooperation between the Native Americans and the Europeans was
trading। The Europeans gave the Native Americans worthless junk that the Natives thought was priceless, and the Native Americans gave the Europeans shell tipped spears, and gold। In other words it was far from a fair trade. The Native Americans did not know the the Europeans were giving them worthless stuff, they thought that the glass balls the Europeans gave them were priceless.
Areas of Conflict:
Some of the areas of conflict between the Europeans and the Native Americans were when the Europeans took away hundreds of Native Americans to Europe to become slaves. Now, when the Europeans explored to new Native American villages, the Native Americans were less friendly to the Europeans. They did not give them gifts anymore.
Personal views:
I think that Columbus and the Europeans were not as great as everybody says he is. He took many Native Americans to Europe to become slaves, away from their homes and families, and most of the Native Americans died in Europe. They were either hanged, because of their inability or they died as slaves.
Conclusion:
In conclusion Life in Colonial America was very tough for the people that lived in early America.
