There Goes The Neighborhood

When the native people saw that the "Americans" was approaching their territory, they welcomed them with

 open arms, or kindness. This being a civilized thing to do, in the eyes of the white men. But civilized is just

someone who's not coordinated to what you're accustomed to. If the native's knew what would was going to

 occur, I believe they would've fought back or attempted to not let them land ashore. Their defeat and being

conquered by these "Americans" was caused by unpreparedness and what we know as the United States

today. The same thing happened with the segregation between the African Americans and segregation. When

they were brought from Africa as slaves they weren't given a chance to be civilized, only workers but

because of this it makes North America a powerful country. Additionally if Natives were available for more

resources or powerful enough to stand by themselves as a "civilized" country according to the rest of the

world, perhaps they would still be standing where they are today. If you were to have the thoughts/ events of

these native's their viewpoints would occur like:

*Strange men approach our homes and seemed dangerous, when actually instead of attacking, they communicated.

*After keeping these white men on close watch, they seemed friendly. They helped us hunt so in return we gave them shelter.

*Some suspicion grew of these men intentions, but others thought they were just kind commanders, nice travelers.

*It seemed evident after a few days what these men wanted, not just to be kind folk, but to murder the animals that inhabited our land and turn us into someone we're not.

*These men betrayed and walked all over us, and it wasn't just us that our generosity risked, but the animals as well, they tore our beliefs apart.

  1. It was a well written entry. You can see where the Native's minds were. Quick question, Why was there a line between every sentence
