When the Europeans first tried to move into the present day United States of America, it was a time of great change for the Native Americans. Many of the Native American tribes had never come in contact with the Europeans before, and many knew that the life they used to live would not be available to them anymore. While the two groups may have started off being eery of one another, the attitude between the two group definitely deteriorated over time: the Native Americans felt that the Europeans stole their land, the Europeans felt that the Native Americans were to be killed, but there were some Europeans that felt that the Native Americans had suffered enough. The Europeans’ main goals in coming to the present day United States of America was to take land and to use it as a way to make money. However the land that they were using belonged to the Native Americans, thus leaving them to starve while taking advantage of their land.…
The Planting of English America In the 17th century, majority of European regimes were all headed to a new land known as America with the objective of exploiting the new opportunities as well as for a better life. However, the Native Americans that had established a territory never allowed them in without an opposition. The fact that the Native Americans had divergent ways of life in terms of social, economic, and political alignments meant that the newcomers were treated differently (Pritzker, 5-7). It was without a doubt that the American Indians and European colonists interacted in a manner that would result to the formulation of various relationships among different cultures.…

Following this contact, the lives of both Native Americans and Europeans were permanently transformed by the Europeans’ desire for wealth and need to spread and dominate through religion. While providing beneficial outcomes for Europeans, these motives ultimately incited the deterioration of once-thriving native civilizations…

When Europeans came to North America for the first time, they called it The New World, because to them it was a land that was mysterious in many ways. The native population that lived in North America was nothing like that of Europe and the environment of North America was even more foreign.

Before the invasion of Europeans in North America, the Natives had a system of living. Their way of life and ability to live off the land were soon challenged by European expansion and technology.…
