ultimately banished from the colonies. Although their sole purpose was not to convert others to their religious practices, there were some settlers who took it upon themselves to teach their ways. These mission trips weren’t extremely successful, but some Indians did convert. They used religion to try and help cope with their ever altered lifestyles. The settlers had intruded on every aspect of their lives and that created much stress for the tribes. The New England colonies were more successful…

While the Settlers viewed their ownership of the…

By 1611 80% of the 500 settlers who came to Jamestown were dead. The arrival of the settlers started in May 1607 with only 110 Englishmen.

Settler-colonialism consists of three pillars: the appropriation of territory, violence toward and forced assimilation of Indigenous people, and the appropriation of Indigenous identity and culture (Bruyneel 6).

why the American settlers decided to claim their independence from the English Crown. Rana starts off by telling the story of how the British conquered Ireland in the 16th century. In this case, the author’s intent is to show the reader the technique used by the British to justify their invasions.
