Many factors contributed to the success for white settlers in America, but the one factor that contributed to a majority of the success was the vast amount of land claimed and used by the settlers. The land was mainly used to plant tobacco as this was the cash crop of colonial America. The land settled grew and became so vast and the tobacco market grew so much that the farmers…

founded by the Virginia Company in 1607 and within nine months a large portion of the original settlers had died. The conditions were hard as many people did not know how to farm and so food was scarce. According to a letter written by Richard Frethorne, an indentured servant at Jamestown, there was much sickness such as “the scurvy and the bloody flux and diverse other diseases” that plagued the settlers (19). This was caused by the location of a swamp by Jamestown and a warmer climate. There…

a given Being within a particular time and space. Yet, such a structural attempt to think through the problem of Indigeneity and the West might enhance the explanatory power of postcolonial and settler colonial studies of the problem at hand. In light of this, I attempt to explain the way that the Settler and their colony (Lacan, Marx, Popper) works as an antagonistic and genocidal position in relation to Indigeneity (Tuck, Byrd, Deloria, Kay-Trask).

This strain in the relationship is further perpetuated when the settlers rule the country by the language of force. In the colonies, the policeman and soldier are the executioners of the rules set by the settlers.…

time, but the families would become trusting and accepting towards the strangers. Sadly, white settlers only wanted land, so they used the kindness and innocence of the Native Americans to their advantage. Initially, settlers acted kind, bringing gifts and trading goods. The natives thought this was a partnership that would allow both groups to coexist.…

Oglala Sioux better known as Sitting Bull , once said “If we must die, we die defending our rights”. This shows the strong tension between the native americans and the settlers. Throughout history the two groups created multiple treaties among each other. As gold mines were discovered, indian land was bought off by the white settlers, the indians were faced with the ultimate choice: assimilation or extermination. The age old quote, “kill or be killed” applied to the natives as they fought to…

success means achieving the goal they had set before them, than Plymouth was the more successful colony because of the choice of settlers who came to colonize, the relations these settlers had with the Natives who lived on this land, and the government and unity among the settlers that came.
