The Relationship between the Environment and Humans as Shown by the Native Americans and the English Settlers

The relationship between the environment and mankind is sacred and constantly changing. Native American and British settlers use this land, but the goal is different. British settlers are more interested in the creation of civilization and the killing of animals, so they can earn money. Native Americans are interested in killing land and animals in an efficient way. Native American are born as warriors, are not educated and have no ability to cultivate, but their ability to adapt to their environment that makes it possible to appreciate the land they live in is unparalleled.

The initial contact between British settlers and Native American is very different. When Jamestown was established in 1607, settlers relied on a generous donation of food and resources from American Indians. This relationship was exploited by Captain John Smith. And he began to forcibly grab food and brought a violent clash between colonists and Native Americans. Due to the arrival of Europeans, Native Americans have never encountered this disease. Smallpox, plague, measles, influenza, diphtheria, pneumonia. European diseases have destroyed many countries, and explorers often find empty villages that lived in Native Americans. When the pilgrims arrived in 1620, they thanked God for finding the land to raise the corn and waiting for them. But this is not what God did. Approximately 90% of American Indians in the New England coastal area died from rodent diseases of trade ships between 1616 and 1619.

The unfair family of Americans faced this difficulty, the land stolen by new settlers, and the difficulties Britain could not imagine on the day they landed on Plymouth rocks. Britons who are not used to this land are difficult to live in a new environment, become hungry, dirty, sick. In March 1621, Native American extended aid to the pilgrims of the struggle. In just 50 years, the war began.

History clearly explains the origins and changes of European immigrants and Native American relations. In 1607, Jamestown became the first permanent British settlement in the United States. British settlers have a very friendly relationship with Indian tribe who live there. When colonialists died, tribes of Squanto and Pawtuxet were not getting food to help them catch fish and hunt. There was a remarkable confrontation between colonialists between the Native American and Plymouth colonies and the ultimate creation of America. This confrontation is known as King Phillip's war. The cause of war was caused by diplomatic failure of Indians and Puritans. When 12 New England towns were burned down, the war lasted less than three years. About 3,000 Indians died, compared to the deaths of 600 colonists.
