The encounter between the Native Americans and the Europeans brought both
good and bad situations. The good was that both cultures learned a lot from
one another. The Europeans learned so much that it completely revolutionized
its agriculture and economy. When the Natives introduced the Europeans to
tobacco it changed the European economy forever. Tobacco along with other
crops such as potatoes gave the European market whole new materials to trade
with and sell it really helped blossom their economy. When the Natives were
introduced to horses it completely changed how they traveled. It made Native
more convenient by helping to move things, with the horses they got to places
faster and it made hunting easier. Though a lot of good came from the Natives
and Europeans meeting it didnt last. After some time had past everything
went downhill. Indians were beginning to be forced off their land, then invaders
began destroying tribes and brutally killing and robbing innocent Indians.
As the European explorers expanded more and more Indians were enslaved and
killed. The whole collision of these two cultures turned from a collaborating
friendship to a war for land and power. Many Europeans treated the natives
badly but there were those like John Smith were kind to Natives and worked
together with them. In the end the Natives were seen as people who were helpful
but them became a diminutive problem, which need to be pushed aside or destroyed.
