The settlers took advantage of the Native Americans and their ways because the Europeans thought the natives were handing it all over to them. It is hard to believe that the natives trusted the whites in the first place, but they basically helped the settlers conquer the land they inhabited.

The Catholic Church went from being a place where you can find God, to a place where people are executed and go against the laws of God and humanity.

Amend these crimes and set forth Gods word truly or else I, whom God has appointed his high minister, will see these divisions extinct and the enormities corrected”. The Catholic Church decided to start controlling everyone in England.
Columbus Essay The brutal treatment of the natives by Columbus was not necessary in order to achieve his goal of conquest and gold, because the natives were already generous people, and would’ve helped the Spanish without force. As Christopher Columbus landed on an island near the Bahamas, or Hispaniola, the natives greeted the crew, and gave them food, water, and gifts. Even not knowing what the three large masses in the ocean were (Columbus’s ships), they still appeared fearless and kind as they give the new men resources openly.
