Pomo. Shoshone. Iroquois. Cherokee.

Long ago, the natives lived together in harmony. Everything changed once Christopher Columbus arrived.

Nothing can stop them them, yet hey brought upon a plague and thousands died.

Only those from the old world have any sense of sanity

But I believe peace can save the world

In 1492 Chris sailed the ocean blue
Pre 1492 everything was cool
The Natives were in total harmony
But once the Columbian exchange came everything changed you see

The new world filled with so many goods
Old world had a lot to give
Now even tho both worlds should be pleased
The spainards brought upon a ton of disease
New world had no immunity
Now the death percentage is past 50
This was only the small pox tho
Did I mention yellow fever and polio?
They brought out new technology only if they were profiting
Sea ports built, plows brought out
But the natives got enslaved man that's just rough

"There were palm trees of six or eight varieties, the graceful peculiarities of each one of them being worthy of admiration as are the other trees, fruits and grasses. There are wonderful pine woods, and very extensive ranges of meadow land. There is honey, and there are many kinds of birds, and a great variety of fruits. Inland there are numerous mines of metals and innumerable people.  Hispaniola is a marvel. Its hills and mountains, fine plains and open country, are rich and fertile for planting and for pasturage, and for building towns and villages. The seaports there are incredibly fine, as also the magnificent rivers, most of which bear gold."

"They have no iron, nor steel, nor weapons, nor are they fit for them, because although they are  well-made men of commanding stature, they appear extraordinarily timid. The only arms they have are sticks of cane, cut when in seed, with a sharpened stick at the end, and they are afraid to use these. Often I have sent two or three men ashore to some town to converse with them, and the natives came out in great numbers, and as soon as they saw our men arrive, fled without a moment's delay although I protected them from all injury."

"As I know you will be rejoiced at the glorious success that our Lord has given me in my voyage, I write this to tell you how in thirty-three days I sailed to the Indies with the fleet that the illustrious King and Queen, our Sovereigns, gave me, where I discovered a great many islands, inhabited by numberless people; and of all I have taken possession for their Highnesses by proclamation and display of the Royal Standard without opposition."
