The Colonists After The American Revolution

The people living in the New World. How were they treated? How does that relate to the motives of the Spanish? In 1492, Christopher Columbus set out in hope of reaching the East Indies by sailing west around the earth. Instead, he found the territory of the New World, also known today as America. When the three ships arrived to land, the Spaniards automatically began their conquering. Their motive for conquest was simply for God, Gold, and Glory. It was the motto of the Spaniards and was admired, but the way they went through with it was / is not. The Spanish was malicious to the Native Americans (who they called and thought were Indians). All the Spaniards were thinking at the time was more of a “if I see it, it’s mine” attitude much more

Upon his arrival in the New World in 1492, Christopher Columbus brazenly labeled indigenous people “indians,” forced native inhabitants to convert to Christianity, and established a tradition of enslavement and violence against non-white men and women ("Columbus Reaches the New World."). Irony runs deep in the veins of the oppression of indigenous people because early colonists in pursuit of religious freedom were those to first call Native Americans ‘savages.’ Patriotic rhymes that praise America’s

On Columbus’s journey to find riches he stumbled upon a new land and in this land there were people different from him.He used violence and slavery to deal with them, thinking only that the natives were “obstacles.” HE had several of them taken because he thought they would be good “servants.” Christopher Columbus forced the natives, “Indians” as he called them, to join a religion they had never heard of or followed before. And And by coming to the “New World” he brought diseases with him. Giving that

During the American Revolution, on July 4, 1776, the Committee of Five wrote the Declaration of Independence with hopes for independence for the American colonies from Great Britain. The members included Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Roger Sherman, and Robert Livingston. In the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson stated all of the King George III’s misdeeds and how cruel the King treated American citizens. He also included why colonists had the right to fight for their inalienable rights. There was a shift in blame from the parliament to the King. Blame was shifted from colonists’ desire to reform their rights and stay with Great Britain to wanting to fight for independence. During the course of 13 years, starting from the end of the French and Indian War(1754 – 1763) to the Independence of Declaration, the colonists shifted blame for their mistreatment, until their was no connection left with England and they became independent.

I think that the colonists took the American Revolution a bit too far. Honestly, Britain did what it did, but the colonists never listened, and instead, they went to war. Patrick Henry said, “We have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on”. But the colonists overreacted and exaggerated Britain’s response to their protests, and the problem subsequently escalated from there.

The aftereffects of the American Revolution were different for various groups of people depending one who they were. Slaves were hugely impacted by the war since it brought about the end of slavery for those in the north (Schultz, 2013). Cornwall promised to free his own slaves after the war and many others ran away from their owners so that they could live free. Virginia and Maryland were two states that created laws that allowed the owners to free their slaves without being pressured to do so; around 1880 the number of free African Americans was one out of ten. This change in views on slavery also made some legal changes when it came to slavery as well and slaves in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Five other states allowed African Americans

The British did not use what little “fans” they did have to fight in the revolutionary war. The colonists immediately assumed that the war would be over quick with no problems they thought that the colonist would be no problem. What they did is they decided that they should capture Boston, it was a vital port for the colonists it would weaken the colonists, but after the battle of bunker hill they figured out that this strategy was no good. After the British lost the battle of Saratoga the colonist, who had no navy and untrained troops, started receiving help from foreign countries. It made them look more powerful and feared in the eyes of the British.

The American colonists saw them self’s just as common folks in King George III eyes. They figured by trading with Britain they can all just be in peace. (So they thought) In this time period, they did not have banks and they had little money so Colonists used credit to get the things they needed from the other colonies. When they came to America, Britain wanted to control expansion into the western territories after the French and Indian War. To do so, King George issued the Proclamation of 1763 prohibiting settlements beyond the Appalachian Mountains. Pushing everyone who hand already settled down on that side to move back over to were the rest of the colonist were.

When the Europeans first “discovered” the “new world” they landed their ships on the east coast and started overrunning the Native American population. The Europeans then built multiple settlements on the east coast and forced the Indians to give up their land whether it was by agreement or force. European people also introduced alcoholism and disease to the Native American population and ended up affecting their ways of life by introducing that corruption into their world. Europeans also forced their own way of life and their religion onto the Natives therefore, creating a strange relationship between the Europeans and Native Americans. Even, though the Europeans “discovered” the “new world,”they didn’t have any right to obstruct the Natives

Before Europeans had ever set foot on North America the continent was a vast land made up of various Native American nations that had their own distinct cultures, history and social hierarchies. The Natives here possessed all of the aspects that human beings all over the world incorporated into their societies. They had social structures, trade routes and relationships between various Native groups and were by no means a cluster of heathens waiting to be discovered by white Europeans who would come to claim the land they have lived on for thousands of years. Upon their arrival on the continent that was often tagged as The New World and their affairs with Indians in the ways they had. The country

I really think that in the American Revolution it was the Americans who won more, not just the freedom from Great Britain. The Americans asserted their rights and their freedom through a big fight where many lost more than others, but after all, with a great purpose. On the other hand, just as they could win everything, they could also be left with nothing. The Native Americans end up losing their lands, their rights and their freedom, all due to their inclinations of sides, their thinking, and their actions. Also, the British of course lost, and among their losses, there are a lot of men and money, this because of the success that the Americans had in the

Before Europeans ever ventured to North America, the land had been populated by Native American nations that had their own distinct cultures and social structures. Native Americans had trade routes and established complex relationships between tribes. They were not merely heathens waiting to be civilized by the Europeans. Yet, Europeans would use those justifications to lay claim on their land.

The life of the Native Americans before and after Columbus arrived was pretty severe. The Americas had about 100,000,000 people spread across the land. Before he arrived this land was well civilized, had abundance of food/resources, and was much more peaceful. They also had their own religion and their own tradition each tribe was however different. This all twisted when Christopher Columbus and his men arrived. Although Queen Isabella sent a priest with the men to make sure things went “holy” it didn’t go as well. The priest was to get the Native Americans to turn their religion to Catholicism; although, they didn’t know any other language other than their own, so things didn’t go as well. However how

Between the 15th to 17th centuries, thousands of Europeans traveled to the New World, a new world where they discovered a new society, a new and strange society, one like they had never seen before. This New World seen for the first time by Europeans consisted of Native American Indians who had strikingly different cultures then their own. At the same time, the Native American Indians were just as surprised to see this very strange new culture through these white men, white Europeans, who they never knew existed. To fully understand just how different and complex the clash between these two cultures really was, one must first compare and contrast the major differences between the two cultures of people. The Europeans at first glance immediately considered these Indians to be extremely primitive, viewing these Indians as being a very uncivilized and uneducated culture of people.

The Europeans first came to the Americas looking for riches like gold and land. When they got here they found Native Americans along with land. According to Thomas Hariot and Christopher Columbus, the Indians were poor and easily persuaded. They thought that they could be easily influenced by European culture. Thomas Hariot said “they shoulde desire our friendships and love, and have the greater respect for pleasing and obeying us.” (2-4) Christopher Columbus said “They should be good servants and
