Most Aborigines despised the British settlers because they did not comprehend their point of view and saw them as a threat towards their country. This event only strengthened the present hate they had towards them. When it was first introduced, many Aboriginal families were against the policies stating the removal of the half-caste children. This is because most of the land had already been given up to the settlers, so they did not understand why their children were being taken away. They also feared for their children's safety because they were unaware of where they would take them and what they would do with them. Also, many children disliked the British settlers for taking them away and forcing them to live the way they wanted them to.
