1. Native Americans and Lewis and Clark Expedition formed a relationship with each other. Often times seeking help, the expedition went to the Native Americans seeking information on the geographic topography of the foreign westward lands in which they were traveling to. Other the hand, the expedition offer unique opportunities to the Indians that they couldn't get otherwise, which explains why the offered help to the white men. One of these opportunities is the Indian's belief that they could acquire guns from the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The Native Americans reacted to this in a positive and supportive way as they realized that they could possibly acquire the guns and ammunition they desired from the expedition that they could not otherwise get from sources such as the Spanish. The reactions from the native Americans as Lewis describes them are on most cases mutually benevolent, each trading with one another fairly, and providing a good in exchange for another good.…
For decades, the French traded with the Indian tribes. This move created a civilized alliance with the Indians so that they could have a new region to claim as New France. Precious beaver furs was the main selling point. Soon enough, tensions rose whenever Pennsylvanians and Virginians decided that they also wanted to lay claims on this new found frontier land. This led to massive conflict between the colonies and ended up being one of the most brutal massacres in history. This is also known as the Seven Years’ War. The French and Indian war changed the relationship between the British and American colonies. By seeing this land as a way to enhance each’s wealth and power they would go to no extent to reach their goal, no matter what the consequences were. The French and Indian war changed the perspective of British and American colonies in about every way of economically, ideologically, and politically. Politically it effected the colonies by republicanism, ideologically because of independence, and economically through the taxation.…
In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, both Spain and France had developed settlements of their own in the New World. The settlements in the Southwest developed by the Spanish were very different from the settlements developed by the French in New France. In terms of Native American relations, the Spanish were much more harsh with the Indians, asserting their dominance over them, where as the French sought a more equal relationship with the Native American people. In terms of religion, the Spanish took on a much more assertive position, forcing the natives to convert to catholicism, while the French did not force their religion upon the Indians. Relations with Native Americans varied widely from region to region. There are many significant differences between the Native American relations on the Spanish settlements in the southeast and on the French settlements in New France. For example, the Spanish sought to use the Pueblo Indians for labor, where as the French settlers intended to only trade with the surrounding Native Americans. The Spanish produced income from their settlements by using the farmland in the Southeast for crops and livestock; they needed laborers to attend to their farms. They also sought tribute from the Native Americans, and offered nothing in return. The French, however, made most of their income from fur, which they received through fair trade with the Indians. They felt that it was best to leave the Indians be so that they would continue providing them with the quality furs.…
The English employed the Iroquois and excited all other Indians against the French . “They sent those last year to attack the Hurons and the Outawas.” The English also sent the Iroquois to attack the French allies the Illinois and the Miamis. The Iroquois killed a great number fo them and this hurt the French.…
The colonists realised that they needed help if they were going to win the war, so the France getting involved was perhaps one of the most important factors that led to the success of the colonists. It was Benjamin Franklin who asked the French to help in the resistance. The French, who were defeated during the Seven Years of War, saw the colonists’ rebellion as an opportunity to hurt the British. So, on February 6, 1778, representatives from both sides signed the Treaty of Alliance and the Treaty of Amity, which stated that the colonists and French were now working together. The French supplied the colonists with arms, ammunition, and troops. The colonists utilized the French’s help in crucial future battles. Without the extra supplies and…
In 1689 France and England declared war. England wanted to claim the land towards the Ohio River Valley, but France had already claimed that land by La Salle in 1682. The French had established a fur trade with the Indians around that area developing friendly relations, economic alliances, and military alliances. Instead of controlling the Indians like the English, the French became friends and business partners, therefore the Indians became allies with France a lot easier than England. The Huron and the Algonquian Indian tribes were allied with the French, while the Iroquois Indians were allied with the English.…
The French were important in the American Revolution because they formed alliances with the American, and with great ideas, were those who helped to defeat the British. France and England had their antecedents; therefore the role that I played France was great motivation to fight with those with whom they had been fighting time ago. To say that the Americans could not have been without the French is something uncertain because the facts were others and the only way to know is if it had been without the help of France. I think that the fact of the union in the confrontation was what gave an impulse to the arrival of success. In the Franco-Indian War, France was responsible for helping the American Revolution with the help of the British in the…
With the discovery and colonization of North America, there came many different powers and views on how to rule the fresh land. Each power; Spain, England, and France, brought something different to the "New World" making an impression on those already living on the continent. Each of the countries came for different reasons. Whatever that reason, Spain France and England all had to interact with the natives of the New World in some way, shape, or form to prosper on the new land. How each of the different European powers handled living with the Natives are vastly different and in some ways extreme.…
Generally, Aboriginals preferred to be allied with the French rather than the English. They benefited more by being allies of the former and were treated with considerably more respect. During the Seven Years War, the French treated the Aboriginal peoples as independent nations. The allies of France gained advantages in trade and influence over other Aboriginal nations. On the other hand, during the American Revolution, the Mohawk, Onondaga, Cayuga and Seneca Peoples of the Six Nations Iroquois Alliance fought on the British side because they believed that this would allow them to retain their territory in the Ohio Valley and the Great Lakes regions. These tribes were fighting for survival. At the signing of the Treaty of Versailles and Treaty of Paris, which ended the war, Native peoples were not considered or mentioned. The lands west of the Ohio Valley and south of the Great Lakes were given to the United States with no protection offered to the Aboriginals who had lived on the now American lands. These people had no chance to regain their land, many were killed and their settlements were destroyed. In the negotiations, the British made no effort to protect their Native…
Pierre. Washington tried to establish diplomatic relations with Native Americans by promising that he would send gifts to them and would provide protection for their land, but when he was asked to stay and learn about the culture of the natives he said he had urgent business elsewhere and left the villages. The French had a much easier time establishing allies because they did the opposite of Washington’s actions. They had gifts for the chiefs with them, took the time to understand the Native Americans’ culture, and provided immediate protection from other tribes.…
The relationship developed when the French came and colonized the region. This relationship was not necessarily equal considering the French took over the Native people Land however, they were able to find the middle ground. The French and the Native people had several ways of keeping their relationship strong. The…
The relation between the early colonists and Native-American Indians through American settlers and Native-Americans changed so drastically due to many tragic factors. Although the biggest factor would have to be that the settlers saw the Native-Americans as savages and felt that they needed to alter their cultural ways to the European ways. The Sand Creek massacre and the Battle of Little Bighorn were two events that greatly affected the relations among the settlers and the Native Americans. These are only some of the numerous events that caused tension in the relationship between the American settlers and the Native-Americans.…
The French gives the Native Americans guns. This makes them (N.A.) want to stay friendly with them.…
The dynamics of the Indians and African relationship where most of time treated the same way. If you weren't already here already, the whites brought you over in a boat. Know as the Trans Atlantic slave trade or Indian slave trade. Indians help shaped African Americans “way of life within the circumstances that slavery forced on them.” The British began to take over the Atlantic coastal. We all know the American Indians were here first and spoke different languages than the others. The Indians lived different for example the British or Africans. Indians “of the Western Hemisphere,” came from Asia, but most of them were here already.…
Many natives thought the armed Europeans would be able to protect them from their more powerful native enemies. In many cases, Europeans did help natives in warfare. Samuel de Champlain, a critical figure in the establishment of the New France colony, aided the Montganais, Algonkaian and Hurons in…
