The Struggle for North America The seizing of North America by the Europeans is done largely without weapons. Of course weapons and warfare play a large part, but the Europeans don’t sail over and begin conquering their New World. European exploration began with the desire for trade and to spread religion. Finding the Indians offered them the chance to do both. These people had never seen anything like the Europeans and were mostly receptive to new goods to trade, and were willing to listen to new religious ideas. No one was prepared for the Old diseases that the Europeans brought with them. Disease swept across the continent in the years of European settlement, paving the way for the European dream of controlling the New World. The Indian people had no way to defend themselves from Old World disease. Traditional rituals and herbal remedies had no effect on the plagues that ravaged the land. A settler reported how “it pleased God to visite these Indeans with a great sickness, and such a mortalitie that of a 1000 above 900. And a halfe of them dyed.” These were not one-time events either; the Indians were plagued by recurring pandemics every 5 to 10 years, leaving no opportunity to recover from earlier losses. Though scholars disagree widely in their estimates, it is likely that, Indian population stood at somewhere between 5 million and 10 million in 1492; by 1800, the figure had fallen to around 600,000. In years when Indian peoples needed all their resources to deal with…

Here Begins The Chronicles of Euronea or the Eurondainwe as a part of all the accounts of Euronea in its libraries Prologue As far as sight may see from the north-eastern coast to the south there stretched a great wall. A majestic and breathtaking sight it was, and the wall was lined and dotted by red torch-light, shining from the wall noticible from miles away and yonder, on both land and sea, gaudily outlined in the night where shining silver-white rays rain upon and towards the…

The American Romantic Hero is a literary archetype referring to a character that rejects established norms and conventions, and has been rejected by society. The 1992 movie, The Last of The Mohicans loosely follows the original book about the journey of Hawkeye and his family as they help Cora and Alice Munro and Colonel Duncan Heyward against Huron war chief, Magua during the French and Indian war. During the movie Hawkeye displays many characteristics that make him an American romantic hero.…

They have a wide variety of small gatherings to whole countries fighting, but they usually have an impact on the modern world. I researched the United States (Tecumseh), Mexico, and Haiti for these types of nationalism. The United States has many forms of nationalism, but I focused on Tecumseh. Tecumseh was a Shawnee Indian during the 19th century. He spoke out against the indians being dependent on the “whites” and that they should go back to the traditional ways. On July 2, 1809 he persuaded…

In the case of the native people, The Huron(or the Wyandot), an outbreak of smallpox in the summer of 1639 1 caused the population to be reduced to 9000 which was about half of the population that was held in 1634. We can see that a reduction of 50% of the populace increased the strain on them in ways that parallel what had happened in Liberia. The losses from the disease weakened the community, with fewer people to hunt and grow crops it resulted in smaller yields. with smaller yields came…

allies of Britain in the war. Some Indigenous peoples were not open to working with the British because of the past events that occurred. Some groups that have hard feelings against the British during the war are the groups in the southern Great Lake area. The hard feelings come after the British betrayed them at Fort Maimis in 1974, the groups in the great lakes region then had a truce that led to peace with them and the Americans, which allowed the relationship between the British and the…

the contrary, they offer to share with anyone....’” The English took advantage of their “naive” way of life. Therefore, the English’s greed led to the downfall of their congenial relations with the Native Americans later on. Similarly, the Spanish had lousy alliances with the Native Americans. The conquistadors regarded the ‘Indians’ as heathens that needed to be converted into Christianity. Despite its original intention, the Encomienda system became a form of enslavement of Native Americans.…

Having been influenced by his spiritual leader Neolin, he firmly believed that he could rally the neighboring Wyandot, Ojibwas, and Potawatamis to aid in expelling the white men from their homelands. Though he would die in his efforts, his confrontation and the Pennsylvanian’s response of the Paxton Boys would prompt Britain to declare the Proclamation of 1763. This clarified land ownership west of the Appalachian Mountains as belonging to the Natives. Though the law was established, it did…
