Question: Differences between Native Americans and the first colonists!?
can anybody tell me the differences between Native Americans and the first colonists, that includes major interactions; massacre, king philips war!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
They had enormous cultural/political/social/religious differences!.
For example, native Americans believed the land belonged to everyone in common - not individual private ownership as the colonists did!. That's what got the colonists into trouble, when they tried to sequester the land just for themselves!.
Native Americans had an animistic religion - in which animals had godlike qualities!. Colonists were mostly Christian and monotheistic!.

Hope that answers your question!. But I suspect you're looking more for the history of their interactions!. You might want to rephrase your question and ask it again!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
