Collin: I agree with the point you made about the natives being treated poorly no matter how much they benefitted the Europeans.

Faith: I agree with what you said about the Europeans totally disregarding the problems they were causing amongst native culture and only worrying about their own greed and selfishness.

Upon their arrival, Europeans began staking claims to land when they had no right to do so. They began forcing changes upon the natives, pushing them out of their lands, and even trying to change their long-standing beliefs in both their religion and culture. Natives had no choice but to follow along because of their lack of technology and therefore lack of manpower against the Europeans. Many were also killed by diseases brought by these settlers. Not only did Europeans change the native culture, they changed the land as well. Trees were cut down to make way for farming plantations when cash crops were becoming prominent and over time new methods of transportation such as railroads required large areas of land to be clearcut along with the forming of new settlements.

Micheal: I agree with when you said that even though the Indians helped the Europeans survive they were still treated horribly

Coley: I agree where you said that they also treated the environment horridly too by cutting down most of the trees

The Europeans had basically claimed the land they landed on as their own. Then they had started to clear all of the trees for wood which lead to the deforestation of the land. Also, they started to colonize the land no matter who was nearby or who had already claimed and cultivated the land. Then they took the natives out of their homes and made them as slaves to work the fields. Although the natives taught the colonists how to farm and live off of the land. The natives even helped them boost the Europeans economy, and they were still treated horribly. Then the spread of the disease that the Europeans caused made it even worse. A lot of natives dies from syphilis, measles, smallpox, etc. Then they started to manufacture business and build railroads. This expansion was the reason why the natives were forced and removed from their own homes.

Europeans changed America in many ways. Three of the most prominent ways are slavery, agriculture, and trade. Natives were treated harshly by the Europeans and were forced to become slaves and work on plantations The natives also taught the people from the old world new wats of farming, which influenced trade and caused goods from the Americas to become in higher demand. This also increased slavery as more people were needed to produce more to keep up with the demand of the old and new world.

Fleet: I agree as most natives were forced from their land in order to support the growing civilizations the people from the old world created in the new world.

Ava: I agree with you as Europeans did come to the new world in order to gain new things, and not caring about the natives who were already there.

Fleet: I agree with you on the Europeans forcing the Natives to move from their land for expansion, because they did that many times and even the Americans with the Trail of Tears

Simon: I agree with you on the Natives being used as slaves because them and the Africans were used as slaves on the farms of the European colonies and in many other aspects.

Ava:~ I agree with you because you talked about how the Europeans came to North America selfishly and for their own benefits and not caring about other people.

Simon:~ I agree with you because there were many benifits and disadvantages between the Americans and Indians that was gained.

Europeans changed America in many ways. When they landed here they went and started building colonies no matter who lived there first. The Natives that were there first were not treated kindly especially if they got in the Europeans way. Even when the Natives helped them like with the colony of Jamestown they were not treated well in return. The introduction of disease had even more disastrous consequences for the Natives who were not immune to the diseases Europeans brought over.
Europeans also changed America from a continent with nothing but natural environments to a industrialized nation. They made factories and businesses, and even made a railroad across the entire continent. Of course with the expansion the Natives that were left were forced out of their homes on a journey that they called the Trail of Tears. Many Natives died on that journey to State made reservations.

Faith- I agree with how you stated that the natives were taken advantage of and were left to fend for themselves.

Alexis- I agree with your statement that the Europeans didn't realize how much they were effecting the natives and that many of the natives lives were destroyed.

I believe that the Europeans changed the lives of Indians in many different ways. When the Europeans came to North America and they showed up for the first time the Indians were these nice groups of people who were willing to help out the Europeans who had arrived and did not know how to survive and live in this part of the world. The Europeans took advantage of the  situation by abusing the kindness that the Indians had for their own Selfishness. The reason they did this is because they wanted more land and they wanted to make lots of money from trading and businesses this was all out of greediness. The Indians provided the Europeans with all of this land, food, and shelter yet all they received in return was being killed beaten or forced into labor systems. With more and more settlers coming in it led to more deaths of the Indians due to the diseases that killed natives who had no immune system to it. It also helped the Europeans gain higher authority and gave them the power to kick out the natives and try to force their Christianity upon the Indians. The railroads was just one of the many significant things that comes to mind when talking about the Indians and natives.

The Europeans changed America in a number ways. Europeans came to the Americas with the intention of gaining new land, wealth, and to gain freedom. Disease brought over by Europeans nearly wiped out the entire population of natives, these remaining natives were often used as slaves. As the Europeans began to establish their settlements, they forced many natives from their land and some straight from their homes.  With this advantage, many Europeans began to spread their faith and try to convert many natives to Christianity. The development of railroads and roads were just beginning. This large amount of Europeans coming to the Americas to settle, led to the downfall of native population.  In the end both sides receive some benefits. Europeans learned new farming techniques which was very beneficial to them. The natives also learned a set of skills from various settlers, which helped their economy grow.

Faith, I agree with you.  You had the same thoughts as i did and put them into the same words.

Alexis, I agree with you as well. You stated the fact that they were forced out of their land and forced to relocate, I had the same thoughts.

My reply since I have no clue how to reply

Faith:// I agree with you how you said that the Europeans took the natives generosity for granted and how they destroyed bare land and left them with nothing. You did very good with your discussion, you brought out key points.

Fleet:// I agree with you because of when you said that the Europeans pushed out the natives because it was true that they took their land from them and they settled there and they force the natives to go settle somewhere else. Good job Fleet.

My replies because I have no idea how to reply!

Alexis:// I agree with the fact that Europeans came in and destroyed the Native lands, made them leave their belongings and move on to new places! Great job on your post and the points you made in your response!

Simon:// I love how you included both point of views and how both sides benefited from one another. The introduction to technology, new crops and lifestyles benefited both the Europeans and the Natives. Great job!!

NOT SURE HOW TO REPLY SO I AM MAKING A SEPARATE POST FOR MY REPLIES

Faith: I agree about how the Europeans were greeted nicely and took advantage of the natives. You did a good job on your response.

Coley: I agree that the Europeans cut down a lot of trees and killed a lot of natives. I also agree that the Europeans took advantage of the natives.

The Europeans changed the lives of the natives drastically. Before the Europeans, the natives lived quiet lives. Life in Pre-European America mainly consisted of of living off of the land and being self-sufficient. Then the Europeans came in and the natives taught the Europeans how to live in America. Soon thereafter, the Europeans began to spread many diseases, such as smallpox, that wiped out over 90% of the native population. On top of that, especially in the Spanish and English colonies, the Europeans used natives as slave labor. However, through all of the bad came some good things. Both groups were introduced to new crops, technology, and lifestyles. The natives learned many new things in order to make their lives easier, likewise with the natives. Overall, the Europeans changed the lives of the natives in arguably the most extreme way ever in history.

The Europeans changed in America in so many ways. The changed it through geographically with the destroying of its lands like cutting down most of the trees. They forced the natives out of America and took heir land and got rid of most of the population of natives. Europeans took advantage of the natives after how nice and caring the were to the new European settlers they didn't even know.

The Europeans changed the lives of the Navties through a variety of ways! The Europeans came over and was instantly was greeted by the Natives; who went on to show them how to properly cultivate crops, gave them land and even established some trade. The Europeans quickly took their generosity for granted and desimated their lands, leaving them in the wind having to fend for themselves. The Natives, without land, had to relocate. They had to pack up, leaving their belongings behind, and moved to new territories. The introduction to new cultures, customs, religion and disease from the Europeans soon overthrew the territories.

The Europeans changed the New World in a variety of ways. One of the ways the Europeans changed the New World was by forcing the native people out of their land. The Europeans did that so they could move in to the natives' land. The Europeans made the natives leave everything behind and move to new land. By the Europeans doing this they did not realize how much it effected the natives when they forced them to move, it effected the natives because a lot of them died from hunger. The second way the Europeans changed the New World was by introducing a religion which was Christianity. They also gave the natives an education which they were not used to. The Europeans introduced diseases that the natives were not used to so it made them very sick so a lot of them died. The Europeans made railroad tracks in the New World.

Europeans changed America in many different ways.  One way Europeans changed America was through kicking the natives out of where the Europeans wanted to settle.  Through kicking the natives out, the Europeans were able to establish settlements on new land and get a lot of economic prosperity from the new land.  However,  they did not realize the effect of kicking the natives out.  The natives were forced to leave all of their belongings behind and go settle new territory.
The second way Europeans changed America was through using the Americas to make money.  The Europeans originally pursued the Americas as a new place to make money.  When the Europeans arrived in the Americas they were greeted by the natives who taught them how to survive by growing crops and building houses.  They used this knowledge of growing crops to make money.  The southern colonies thrived on agriculture and used it as a way to profit off of the Americas.
The final way Europeans changed the Americas was through starting an empire of colonies there. The Europeans made a string of thirteen colonies that eventually turned into what is now the United States. They did this through economic prosperity and colonization
