In fact, the Afro-Phoenicians and Chinese came to America before Christopher Columbus (Discussion 1). Also there were many Native Americans in America before the Europeans arrived. Also, in history class, I learned that the Pilgrims and Native Americans got along very well. This course taught me that this was not true. When the Pilgrims arrived in America, the Native Americans’ lives were changed for the worse. The Europeans brought over many diseases that killed off many of the Native Americans. The Europeans did not have good hygiene and this resulted in diseases and sicknesses (Loewen Ch. 3). The Europeans also took over the Native Americans’ land (Zinn Ch. 2). The Native Americans helped teach the Pilgrims valuable skills and gave them supplies to survive. The Pilgrims did not appreciated this and they treated the Native Americans
