What the Jamestown Colonist failed to realize is that they when they decided to move to Virginia that the land was already occupied by many Indian tribes. So over the next 80 years the relationship between the Colonist and the Native Americans had a lot of ups and downs. When the Jamestown Colonist first arrived in Virginia in 1607 the Paspahegh Indian tribe immediately attacked them. The English were careful to settle only on uninhabited land and looked forward to trade and cooperation, but naturally the Indians saw the English as invaders and disliked them. In 1607 a fire destroys Jamestown.
Ignorance and the lack of understanding a person may cause diversion between two people of two different cultures, race or religion. This eventually will build up to fear. There were three historical facts that were brought to my attention. One of these facts was on the unfortunate occurrence named the Wounded Knee. This event occurred on December 29, 1890.The U.S Cavalry had gathered local Native Americans, shot and killed innocent Native American men, women, and children.
The Spanish were cruel, and crazed by the idea of finding treasure and conquering land and the peoples that inhabited them. Some 160,000 Spaniards, consisting mostly of men, subjugated millions of Indians. (textbook) Between slaughtering the Indians and infecting them with devastating diseases such as smallpox, the native population plummeted from over twenty million down to two million in less than a century. The Spaniards biggest problem was their thirst for gold and treasure. Many of the natives that they came across welcomed them wholeheartedly, until they abused the hospitality that was given to them and gave nothing in return.
Maybe a taste test of your own will conclude the superior taste of Whitey’s especially after sampling from Maggie Moo’s or Cold Stone Creamery.

The Buffalo Creek Flood killed many people in the February of 1972. After the flood, Pittston not only didn’t admit the responsibility, but also claimed it as a natural disaster, called it “an act of god,” and later on claimed and blamed that the Buffalo Mining Company was a separate division altogether and that Pittston couldn’t be responsible for its actions. Furthermore, since Pittston rushed to settle the survivors with only 4000 dollars for the survivors from the flood, the survivors are angry with that. So it triggered the survivors to look for a law firm that is Arnold & Porter, and to represent them and seek for justice. After the flood, many people lose everything, and they had no choice but to accept these offers because they couldn’t wait until the lawsuit to follow through, not even guarantee that they will be compensated or win lawsuits.
In addition to that, Christopher Columbus was uncaring and cruel. He mistreated Native Americans when they tried to be friendly to him and his crew. He killed/slaughtered many Native Americans and slaves and is responsible for one of the greatest genocides in the history of mankind. Over the years, children have been taught by their parents, teachers, textbooks that Christopher Columbus “discovered” America. A large portion of the world disagrees with that statement and argues that he, in fact, did NOT “discover” America and that he should not be credited for that.
Government soldiers killed 300 Sioux women, children, and men. The Indians who assimilated in order to survive were “whitemanized.” Crow Dog’s mother was sterilized (without her permission). Crow Dog writes of how she wishes she could “purge it out.” She was referring to her own white blood. In addition to her own internal struggles, Crow Dog writes about the oppression of Native Americans. According to Crow Dog (1991), “the fight for our land is at the core of our existence, as it has been for the last two hundred years.
When he arrives he finds out that nearly the entire village has been wiped out by disease that had been brought over by the pervious Jesuit missionaries. As he discusses with the missionary who is already in the village, he tells LaForgue that the Huron are angry and may try to kill them. Certianly, the Huron, just like many other Indian tribes do not want to be converted to Chirstianity. They believe that if they convert religions that it will expose their weaknesses to their enemies, and they will be wiped out. The Indians values clearly do not align with the morals and sets of values of Christianity.
For example there were the Delaware Indians that, similar to Tecumseh, had tried for years to hold onto their tribal lands but regardless of their treaties and pleading for government assistance, witnessed the incoming settlers take as they pleased and even sell as their own to others the Delaware lands. (Donald H. Kent) There was the infamous event known as the Trail of Tears, the many instances of countless Indians massacred in their villages by the Army and their continual forced movement by the United States, eventually leading to their resettlement onto reservation land that was far less suitable than the land stolen from them. The United States Government owes the Original Americans very much. So much it could never be
The after effects of this attack are still remembered by many! Family’s morn over the deaths of their family members every year on this day and it is totally unfair. In conclusion to the attack President Bush sent our military to Afghanistan to find and capture Bin Laden. In 2003 Bush then sent the military to Iraq and many people were upset. People were so upset because they were afraid that sending troops to Iraq would take the focus off of Afghanistan and the mission to find Bin Laden.
