How Do Native Americans Affect The Colonists Of The New World?

Over the course of the 17th century, the relationship between the English colonies and the Native Americans changed drastically. At first, there was a peaceful relationship and the two groups even helped each other out; but, as time passed, the relationship began to deteriorate and the two groups became hostile towards each other.

In the 17th century, the Native Americans had been living peacefully in their own little world, until suddenly, the British come upon this land. Little did the British know, tribes of natives already lived there. The countenance of the Native Americans did not go over very well. There was tension between the English and the Native Americans. For example, they fought over the land of the “New World”. As expected, the Natives were fearful and angry when foreigners showed up and proposed new religious beliefs. The British and the Native Americans’ relationship changed due to those coming over for religious freedom and economic prosperity.

The moment when Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas was the beginning of the interactions between American Indians and European colonists. These very first interactions were mostly positive due to the the generosity of the Indians but turned violent when the Europeans began to mistreat, kidnap, enslave, and kill the American Indians. Actions taken by the American Indians and European Colonists, especially actions of violence, during the 1600s caused the relationship between the two parties to be negative and conflicting in New England and Chesapeake.

From the very first interaction, the social and political relations between the Native Americans and the Europeans had begun with much tension. Many Europeans came to the Americas with the intention of discovery. However, when it became apparent that these new lands were inhibited the motives changed, and then the natives were colonized, abused, and in many cases killed. From then and throughout the impending periods of time, the relations between the natives and the Europeans had a few points of mutual peacefulness, but were overall negative.

When Europeans came to the American continent, contact with the Native Americans who were already living there was inevitable. In the colonization of early America, the various groups of European settlers: the Spanish, French, English, and Dutch each had unique experiences with, and therefore individual opinions of the Native Americans whom they interacted. Each of these nations also shared commonalties in their colonization processes and in how they viewed Native Americans. Furthermore, the Native Americans held differing opinions of each group of Europeans whom they encountered while some features of their relationships with Europeans were consistent despite the tribe or nation involved.

The original ordinances were more favorable to land speculators and less so to ordinary settlers, many of whom could not afford the land. So Congress tried to fix the problem by selling much of the best land to the Ohio and Scioto land companies before making it available to anyone else. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 abandoned the districts established in 1784 and created a single territory of the lands north of the Ohio. It specified a population of 60,000 as a minimum for statehood, guaranteed freedom of religion, and the right to trial by jury, and also prohibited slavery throughout the

The discovery of New England, a place considered to be fertile, perfect in climate, and overall fascinating, obtained the captivation and interest of many beings, causing migration to this new land to spark. Nevertheless, the fascination that soon-arrived colonists had and the want to acquire new colonists, numerous beings exaggerated, lied, and chose only to report selective pieces of information, causing many to be misinformed. Several incoming colonists believed, that they would be free of inconveniences as they would have access to a year-round warm climate, and fertile soil. However, upon arrival, this information proved to be false, as a result, many newcomers to New England suffered and often died due to their ignorance.

When the colonists decided to travel to the New World, they were looking for the New World to better their lives. They came to gain knowledge of the world; which eventually they did from the Native Americans, and their own experiences. They were hoping for better opportunities within their colonies such as learning to manage money, to hunt and fish, and build homes for themselves; many did not know how to do these things before their travel. In the New World, they were also able to gain freedom, something they didn’t have in England. Eventually, they learned many new traits during their travels to the New World, which took them three months.

As colonists from Britain began to enter the New World in the 1600’s, they colonized much of the eastern border of Northern America in the New World, and invaded the lands of the Native Americans, striving to drive them out of the area. The British felt superior to the Native, looking down upon them as ‘savage-like’ and uncivilized. They tried to ‘civilize’ the Natives, but the inevitable result of Native and colonist interactions was the decimation of Native populations due to conflict, disease, and other such factors. These interactions with Natives were not simply an obstacle in the path of the colonists; rather they had great influence on the colonists’ lifestyles, including language. Even though the colonists held their belief in superiority,

In the seventeenth century, there were many clashes between British settlers and Native Americans in New England. The British landed in what they believed to be a desolate wilderness which they would tame and civilize in the name of the Christian God. They viewed the people they encountered there as savage, primitive, and uncivilized-- almost less than human. The settlers regarded this new land as unowned-- theirs for the taking. The Natives, on the other hand, saw the British as greedy, entitled invaders who threatened their way of life, and their existence altogether. As a result, these two groups often clashed, and struggled to peacefully coexist. This can be seen in, A Relation of the First Troubles in New England By reason of the Indians there, which recounts, in detail, the various quarrels between Natives Americans and British settlers in New England. In this essay, I will argue that the document shows that conflict between the Native Americans and the British settlers-- war, violence, threats and intimidation-- was completely inevitable due to a lack of communication, a lack of understanding between the two groups, and the desire by the British settlers to conquer the untamed, uncivilized New World and the natives inhabiting it.

It was the year 1620 when People from England boarded ships to America to find religious freedom. Bad weather blew their ship off course and they found themselves on Cape Cod, in what is now called Massachusetts. They declared their intention to create fair and equal laws that would be the basis for a democratic government. They emphasized that the laws would be made for the greater good of all.

North America where is a huge continent and is centrally located between Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean. This land or continent was called the “New World” in the past. There was some Native Americans or also called Amerindians who had existed before European men began to explore and arrive in the New World. These two nations had their own culture, which included politics, societies, and religions. How were these two nations, Europeans and Native Americans, different in cultures? And how did the “Columbian Exchange” benefited the Native American political, social, and religious ideals when the European had already begun to dominate the America?

In the 1607 the first colony was founded in Jamestown, Virginia. Some came for land, and others came for religious freedom as written about by Roger Williams in works like ‘A Plea for Religious Liberty’; however, the English were not the first to set foot on the land we now call America. While some may think that the Indians caused issues for the colonists, the colonists actually are the ones that caused the issues. The Native Americans had been here for years free to go about life as they wished. When the colonists came, what could have been a good alliance between the two groups turned into a feud.

Native Americans, English, Africans and other European settlers went through adversity in their plight in trying to establish their own identity in North American Colonial societies. Trade and land were two major components in the fight for power.

The founding of the New World fascinated many Europeans because of the possibilities of the economic, political, and social growth. Europeans packed their belongings and boarded the boat to new beginnings. Arriving in the Americas was not what they had expected. Already pre-occupied in the land, were the Native Americans. The Native Americans refused the Europeans colonization in the America’s, but not all colonies in the Europe just wanted to colonize with the Natives. The intentions of the Europeans colonies were all different, as the Dutch solely came for business transactions. The Dutch business transactions resulted in the change of economic, political, and social movements, changing the lives of the Native’s.
