Perspectives: Early American Life

by Joseph Lewis

Imagine stumbling upon foreign land. There's absolutely nothing you recognize. You're fighting to survive, and working desperately for a new beginning. In the New World the settlers faced hunger, harsh winters, and lethal new diseases. They had one source of hope, or a fatal enemy: the Indians. Should they trust them or not?

In this essay, Lewis explains how the wars between the early English settlers, and Native American Indians was sadly inevitable. From him, we learn why they happened, and what caused both parties to go from peaceful cooperation to bitterness and bloodshed.
