Horrible Histories: American Report
The Effects of Contact 80 to 100 % of Native American populations wiped out
by European diseases (such as smallpox and measles)
Why?- Native Americans were geographically cut off from these diseases
- did not live in large cities or have contact w/ different people
Results: - Europeans encountered fewer Native Americans = less
resistance - Europeans took Native American territories with ease
and made it their own
RelationsAt first some on both sides were friendlyAs more Europeans arrived relations
began to change
Europeans begin enslaving Natives
Europeans Change in Thinking
God is on our sideNatives are uncivilized
European ColonizationWith smaller populations of Natives and more
advanced weapons Europeans began to colonize the Americas
