Why was native Americans treated badly by the Europeans? I have a school project (powerpoint)?

Answer 1

We wanted their land

They shot arrows at us

Answer 2

Europeans thought they were superior.

They thought they had the true religion, had better weapons, and the natives died from diseases Europeans were immune to.

Answer 3

The Puritans considered native tribes to be heathens and savages because they would not convert to Christianity.

Answer 4

the American Indians were hunter gatherers wiped out in Europe thousands of years ago for civilization farming and cities, the newcomers wanted to fence the land clear the trees stop the Natives migrating and occupying their lands reducing their ability to hunt and survive as they were used to so the void between the two was insurmountable the Natives could never adapt in time so the battle for supremacy started again

Answer 5

Straightforward racism - anybody who wasn't white, European or Christian was likely to be treated with prejudice.

Answer 6

Why were Native Americans…


You're welcome

Answer 7

The Christian mindset at the time was that they weren’t people. Especially in Protestantism.
