French And Native American Colonization

European colonization of the Americas should be remembered as a tragedy for the impractical and immoral acts upon Native Americans and slave laborers. The European colonization of the Americas was a series of atrocities committed upon underdeveloped territory by settlers throughout the Americas. Many European countries took part in the advantages of the land to increase economic trade and newly found resources. However, the net result of this colonization for the indigenous who already inhabited these lands was the exploitation of Native Americans and Slaves through forced labor, Christian ideals being forced upon those certainly from different beliefs, and the general theft of land and natural resources.

Closely followed by Columbus’ “discovery” of the New World in 1492 were the establishments of European colonies with the French primarily in the north and down the Mississippi, and with the British along the east coast. As a result, the Native Americans’ lives changed drastically. Before 1750, in terms of economically, French responded mutually in terms of economy, culturally befriended them and in terms of religion, responded benignly by encouraging Catholicism through missionaries and on were on the best terms with the Natives; the British by contrast, economically

The discovery and colonization of the “New World” was one of the most significant and influential events in the known history of mankind. It has shaped our present by changing the course of our past and is a time of such great significance that it would be all but impossible to understand today without at least some comprehension of the why 's of yesterday. What was it that drove such a myriad of people to risk so much to tame the wild and vast lands we now know as and call the Americas. What were the reasons, motivations, causes, events, and possibilities that captured the minds and hearts of so many different peoples from such divers backgrounds? What led them to leave their friends, families, and

During the time period of 1607, when the first British colony was established in America, to the last established colony in 1733, differences in each colony was evident due to the different beliefs of conduct in colonization and government. All of the colonies, however, faced unbelievable difficulties upon collaborating with Native Americans, some much severe than others. Furthermore, the impact of North American colonization affected not only Britain and the Natives, but all of Europe as well.

In 1602, the Company of New France was given the trade monopoly for the area, but in return, it promised to settle 4,000 colonists within next 15 years. Some of the first people sent were Jesuit missionaries who sought to learn the Indian languages in order to spread Christianity to them. The first native group that the Jesuits sought to convert was the Huron, who were ravaged by smallpox soon after. Many Hurons felt that the Jesuits were responsible and wanted to execute them, but the desire to maintain good trading relations with the French was stronger than the desire to kill the Jesuits. The French wanted to maintain trade relations as well, and many French trappers and fur traders would marry Indian women. This partnership would pay off later on, when the overwhelmingly outnumbered French colonists would need their Native American allies in the French and Indian

Native Americans were the first inhabitants of what we today would call the United States, were they not? As hard as it may be to believe since they're called "Native Americans," it has actually been agreed upon that they were not. The first people to arrive in North America are believed to be sojourners from Asia. These bands crossed a land bridge in search of big game. Slowly, these people began to learn different techniques to survive in North America. They eventually gave up nomadism and instead began to set up habitations or stay within a certain area. These humans learned to farm and how to maintain cities. The Aztecs were a great example of this as they built the amazing city of Tenochtitlan in Central America.

Relations between the American Indians and the English, as well as between the Spanish and the Native Americans, were much more hostile than those between the American Indians and the French. Firstly, the French treated the American Indians with respect on all accounts of their culture. Secondly, the English showed no mercy or reason to American Indians occupying native land. Lastly, instead of attempting to take advantage of the indigenous people of North America, the French established trade relationships. For nearly the entire colonization period, the French remained allied with the American Indians.

Ever since Europeans began to colonize land in the New World, Native Americans have suffered immensely. Europeans colonized the entirety of both North and South America fairly easily. Most people attribute this to the fact that Native Americans were inferior to Europeans in the aspect that they were not as advanced militarily or diplomatically. For example, most Americans see Native Americans as inferior due to the fact that Europeans were able to take over all of the Native Americans land, which is a completely wrong way of thinking. European colonization and domination in North America is centered around diseases and the fact that Native Americans had never been exposed to certain diseases that Europeans brought over from the Old World. The

After Columbus sailed the blue ocean in fourteen hundred ninety-two, the New World encountered catastrophic epidemics from the European conquest. The spread of diseases between Europeans and Native Americans led to a demographic calamity. The earliest explorations from European countries introduced a plethora of diseases; these diseases hindered the Native’s population and way of life. Not only early explorations of European countries impacted the indigenous people, but the settlement and encounters with Europeans in the twentieth century did as well.

By 1732 George Washington the great coin thrower was born and the American colonies had been established by a combination of European settlers the puritans, polyglots, and planters but during this time they were still subject to British influence. Immigration with colonies also built way in increasing the population on the eastern seaboard setting up trade routes, merchant selling, and newly acquired markets to which brought common goods to America and abroad. Furthermore, ever since American was looked upon as exceptional it had always given abundance to anyone person who was willing to conquer the woods in the backcountry or just settle near the coast like the Puritans. The characterization that must be sought out is how did the English Americans

What do the people that colonized these lands before other countries came here want to be called? Has anyone truly asked them? Instead they have been given names over the years from other people, such as Indians, which is said to have come from Columbus when he landed in America but thought he was perhaps in India (d’Errico, 2016). You have all these given names like American Indian, Native American, You have a term, American Indian, which during a census in 1995 49% preferred over being called Native American that came back with 37.35% preferred (Walbert, 2016), but these are still controversial due to the definition of native and the bad taste of the word Indian. So as I asked before, has anyone just came out and said “What do you want

From 1689 to 1763, almost 200 years after Columbus’ discovery of the New World, several European nations fought to acquire their share of America’s wealth. The Spanish, leaders in the exploration of the New World, were the first to colonize the Americas. In 1494, two years after Columbus’ expeditions, the Treaty of Tordesillas was ratified by the Pope. This treaty split the New World between Portugal and Spain. By the mid 1500s, Spain had gained control of much of western South America, Central America, and Southern North America. Portugal claimed lands in modern day Canada and Brazil. It wasn’t long before other European nations began to dispute the Treaty of Tordesillas. England and France both tried to found colonies during the 1500s but failed pitifully. In the 1600s, France, England, and the Dutch Republic were finally able to successfully established colonies in the Americas. Unfortunately for Spain, they would not be able to control the expansion of the English and French into North America. England would soon become the dominant shareholder of North America due to their objectives when coming to the New World, their victory in Queen Anne’s War, and their victory in the Seven Years’ War.

America would not be the same it is today without the numerous times of territorial expansion from the 17th to 19th century. America started with European Colonization in the 17th century, its borders were defined in the 18th century, and America extended from a coast to coast nation in the 19th century. There is not just expansion of land on a physical map, but also increased political tension and economic growth as America grows as a nation.

It is difficult to promise change when many people are still ignorant and unaware of the truth. The First Nations’ stories are eliminated from our history, and we are now painstakingly trying to bring it back. I am really privileged to have been a part of two events that clarified Canada’s past. In return, I would like to continue making the influence of colonization known, help restore the Indigenous identity, and most importantly, assist them in their healing.

Since the Europeans first arrived in North America, there has been continuous animosity between the invading white settlers and the native population. However, it would not be until after the end of the War of 1812 that the United States government would take a much more forward approach to the removal of Native Americans from prime frontier lands. The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and the 1814 Treaty of Ghent essentially removed British and French powers from the American territory. These foreign powers, especially the British, had acted as a protective force for the Natives. With the British gone, American settlers were free to expand further into the mainland. The wave of aggressive American nationalism which ensued saw the Native Americans as an obstacle to be removed. In 1830, under the presidency of Andrew Jackson, the Indian Removal Act gave the government the authority to forcibly remove Natives from their ancestral homelands, if necessary, and relocate them to small, concentrated plots of land called reservations. More than that, the Indian Removal Act provided an example of “American imperialism during the Jacksonian Era,” displaying the “determination to expand geographically and economically” and the overall willingness to impose “an alien will upon subject peoples” while “commandeering their resources.” Between the years of 1830 and 1840, the United States government displaced over 70,000 Native Americans. Feelings of enmity grew as white settlers continued to
