The Habits Of Native Americans As Vile People

Leading up to the 1700’s in colonial America there were many themes that defined the time period. One of the most prominent themes is that of death. During this time period many died, both the Native Indians and the Europeans emigrating to America. There were many causes of these deaths, famine, disease, and war were some. The first major contact between the European men and the Native Americans was with the Aztecs and Hernandez Cortés. Cortés used European military technology to conquer the Aztecs. In the process of conquering the Aztecs, Cortés was aided by the introduction of smallpox into the Aztecs ecosystem. With the different goods in the western hemisphere the Columbian exchange was started. One of the items brought over to the new

The Columbian Exchange, named after Christopher Columbus, was the trading of new foods, plants, animals, and diseases between the Old and New World in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. While the Columbian Exchange is often applauded for its exchange of goods between the Old and New World, the unintentional exchange of diseases from the Old to New World, as well as New to Old World, quickly ravaged the populations of Europeans and Native Americans.

The exchange between Europe and the New World, also known as the Columbian Exchange, had many positive and negative outcomes. When the Europeans came across the New World, they brought many new discoveries to the people of the New World; some amazing and some disastrous. In reverse, when the Europeans arrived at the New World, the natives (also known as the Indians) had many things that had yet to be discovered by the people of the Old World.

Due to the fact that most of the Native Americans were sacrificed for European economic gain, the Columbian Exchange undoubtedly did more harm than good. The Europeans exploited the Native Americans and both inadvertently and purposefully killed millions by spreading disease, conquering them, and overworking them. The effect of these is clearly shown in 2 sources, “A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies”, by Bartolome de las casas, and a population chart from “CIA Worldfactbook 2015”. Bartolome lived during the Columbian Exchange, and has even met Christopher Columbus in person.

Positive Side (Columbian Exchange) The Columbian exchange refers to the exchange of diseases, food crops, and populations between the New World and Old World following the voyage to the Americas by Christopher Columbus in 1492, where trades were made between the Americas, Europe, and Africa. One of the major goals of European exploration was to gain wealth. Though, they faced some negatives, like several diseases that spread through the natives including smallpox, measles, and typhus. These diseases wiped out an entire population of Native Americans.

Europeans brought diseases to the Americas, such as smallpox and measles. The original descendants did not bring the diseases because they traveled through the cold and they had no domesticated animals. Many of these diseases were caused by domesticated animals. At

If somebody discovers something brilliant in the world and then does something terrible, they would be known as a terrible person. Likewise, although the many accomplishments they had, European explorers, conquistadors, and settlers from the Age of Exploration should not be glorified and celebrated because of all the injustice they did. They killed most of the Native American population, forced the Natives into something they did not want to do, and terrorized them to become richer. Because their actions were brutal and inconsiderable, they should not be glorified or celebrated in the 21th century. Upon exploration, Europeans brought diseases over which caused the death of most of the Native American population.

Europeans explored and settled in the Americas all throughout the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, and were generally successful. Although there were a number of factors that contributed to European successes in the New World, biological exchange was foremost. Biological exchange was the most significant force behind Europeans’ success in the Americas because it helped Europeans to wipe out Native American peoples, both physically and culturally, and to introduce European practices and resources that would help Europeans to flourish in the New World.

After Columbus made his journey to the New World in 1492, the Europeans brought a different culture to the people of the New World and took many new ideas back to the Old one, this was the time period known as the Columbian Exchange. Most of what the Europeans took from the Exchange was good, but some of what they brought was devastating to the people in the New World. Although, this time period was very brutal for the Native Americans, the Columbian Exchange resulted in the transmitting of new technologies, an increase in remedies and cures for diseases, and a growth in resources such as food that helped to improve life.

The problem of evil is a difficult one to define there can be so many interputations of the word and of different forms of evil that could be described. In this particular, statement on how the Native Americans were defeated by white settlers I could describe this as an evil problem because it’s another story on how someone or a community is being pushed out of its home to make way for someone else. Furthermore, we even see this being done even back in the days of Muhammad just like in the first video about the “Prophet Muhammad” we saw that he was born into a world or community who would fight over territories to gain access to a the watering well. This is a problem of evil of individuals fighting or something they want or being pushed away

We as a world together have been through a lot of changes and made a lot of advances over the past couple of centuries. Many have argued about the outcome of the European expansion on the Americas. Some people feel that the Europeans had both a positive and negative impact on the expansion; however, the negative impact gave a devastating result, which would continue to change history for almost four hundred years. The Europeans were manipulative towards to indigenous people of the Americas. They exploited them, using them as their personal slaves. Most importantly, they silently murdered the Natives by introducing them to diseases such as the measles and smallpox. Consequently, a small pox epidemic was caused, which resulted in the

The woodcut image reveals multiple taboos that the Europeans held as, it depicts, uncultured savages, in contrast their own culture. For instance, if you look at the picture, you will see human body parts tied and hung up. Now, this may seem irrelevant, but if you look at the way they are hung, you will notice that it is similar to the way Europeans’ hung their hams, when they hung them in the smoke for flavoring. Of course, cannibalism was a fear for Europeans as they arrived in the New World, but they made it a much bigger deal than it actually was. In the background of the image, there are also European ships making their way to land. This might signify Europeans

The Columbian Exchange is the exchange of plants, animals, food, and diseases between Europe and the Americas. In 1492, when Christopher Columbus came to America, he saw plants and animals he had never seen before so he took them back with him to Europe. Columbus began the trade routes which had never been established between Europe and the Americas so his voyages initiated the interchange of plants between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, which doubled the food crop resources available to people on both sides of the Atlantic.

In the “Remarks Concerning the Savages of North America” Benjamin Franklin writes about the Native American people and their way of life. In Benjamin Franklin’s essay he shows that the Native American people are far from savages. He explains how they are indeed civilized people. He says “perhaps, if we examine the manners of different nations with the impartiality, we should find no people so rude, as not to have some remains of rudeness.” The reason the Native Americans were called “savages” was because their rules of common civility, religion, laws and culture were different from the American culture and being that we were just socializing we did not understand their way of life.

15th and 16th century European conquest in Africa and Latin America was significant for global expansion. Important areas such as the West African coast and Mexico were explored, making this period of time momentous. However, what was even more noteworthy were the similar methods that the Europeans used while intruding upon both the foreign lands. The Europeans showed little respect towards African and Native American people and their values; they resorted to inhumane tactics such as a creating a slave trade through Africa and committing a massacre to decolonize the indigenous people of Mexico.
