European Interaction with Natives

When the Europeans went to the New World and discovered the natives that inhabited the land, they were not all very nice to them. They did help benefit the natives in some ways, however they did more bad than good. The way the Europeans interacted with the Natives was unacceptable in any time period. What they did was very wrong. Each country did their own thing, some was good but most was bad.

Of all the european countries France was the best with the Natives. The French got the farthest with the Natives. They started trading with them. The trading was very fair for both sides. The Natives got new technology, and the French got to learn from the Natives. The relationship with the French was actually so good that they made an alliance with each other. The French get to hunt and get resources on the land, and the Natives got protection from the Spanish and the English. The French were the best with the Natives and therefore had a good alliance with them.

The English were not lucky enough to get in good with the Natives. They attempted trade but they were not doing fair trade. The English were very religious, and the Natives did not practice the same as them. Therefore they saw it as witchcraft. They would kill anyone who was practicing it, even if it was an English.

The Spanish were also not good with the Natives. They also forced their religion on them. They would go and invade the land and spread disease mainly Small Pox. They would also take the gold that the Natives had.

The Europeans were very unfair and horrible to the Natives. They attacked and stole and killed from the Natives. What they did is unacceptable in their time and even now.
