    How Did African American Culture Change 1492

    For native American Indians, this new opportunity for settlers proved even more costly, almost the entire culture was destroyed by either disease, famine, or murder. Many Natives believe that this culture war has never ended, even in today’s modern society. As History showed us, once these settlers colonized the Eastern portion of the New World, the Native were either killed, or had to move to the west, eventually living in their own settlements, known today as “Tribal Reservations”. Even today we as American’s believe that since we protect these Native American lands we were justified in our historical and in our own way oppressive actions.…

    Difference Between European And Native American Settlers

    For thousands of years there have been conflicts over the ownership of land. The case between the Native Americans and the European settlers was no different. Europe was becoming overpopulated which prompted brave individuals to venture across the Atlantic Ocean to claim land in the New World. Their claim of land became an issue as the land was already occupied by the Natives. More settlers came and eventually colonies sprung up, which proceeded to push the Natives westwards from their land. Assaults on the colonists by Native Americans to defend their way of life resulted in many deaths. Some of the Natives assimilated to the ideas of the white man resulting in loss of their culture.…
