In What Ways Did The Different Groups Have Similar Definitions Of Freedom?

1: In what ways did the different groups have similar definitions of freedom? Give specific examples to support your answer.
Both European immigrants and Native Americans defined freedom as self-government. Native Americans elected tribal leaders and Europeans came to the New World fleeing the restrictions of their homeland. Government in Europe during the 1500s and 1600s was monarchial and the commoners had no say in governing themselves. Many Europeans came to the Americas fleeing the restrictive lack of self-government and religious freedom. Europeans and some Native Americans both saw freedom in living in a city and being a part of something larger than themselves. Europe, of course, had dozens of cities like London, Paris, Madrid, and Amsterdam. The Native Americans too had built bustling metropolises on the other side of the planet.

While most Europeans didn’t experience true slavery, many were bound to be an apprentice or laborer in order to pay off some sort of debt or provide for themselves. This sort of obligation signals a lack of freedom. Native Americans were enslaved once Europeans colonized the Americas, and that was certainly not freedom. In the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, Native Americans of several tribes banded together in defiance of the harsh Spanish rule known as the Black Legend. Native Americans were definitely not free under European rule; conquistadors like Hernando de Soto raped, enslaved, and murdered hundreds of natives and missionaries forced Catholicism on them. While I think the Europeans and Native Americans would have agreed on this definition of freedom, the Europeans may have selfishly thought it only applied to themselves. European settlers would have balked at the thought of being enslaved and abused, but they had no qualms about doing just that to the Native American
