Why_the_American_Colonists_Are_Wrong

If I could change one thing (in the history) (of Europe’s colonization) (of America), I would change how the hypocrite colonists treated the Indians (for the better). (Of the multiple reasons), one reason is the fact that, while the colonists didn’t put the natives (in extermination camps), the things they did (to the Indians) multiple times, were not a lot better. Some examples (of awful things) the colonists did include the time they made thousands (of Indians) walk all the way (to a reservation), resulting (in many deaths), and (for a short while), making Indians their slaves. There was plenty (of fighting), between the Indians and colonists. Many lives could have been saved if the colonists had lived peacefully (with the Indians), and not confined them (to reservations). Tramping through Indian territory (without regard) (to the inhabitants) didn’t help either. The Europeans were also hypocrites. You would think that being desperate enough (for freedom) (to sail) somewhere far away, (without a clue) where you’re going would make you not want (to inflict) the same (on others), but that obviously wasn’t the case (with these people). Many or all (of the colonists) also didn’t like the way their kingdoms were, but they weren’t really any better (to the Indians). Another reason is that a lot (of colonists) weren’t very grateful (for the help) they got (from the Indians). Having dinner (with the Indians) then later slaughtering them and setting fire (to their camp) isn’t really a good way (to show) your gratitude, especially since, if it weren’t (for some) (of the Indians), there might not be an America, or (at least) a USA. (Before the Indians) helped the colonists, there had been many failed colonies, and the surviving ones were not far from starvation. Because the winner(s) (of war) and their descendents write the histories (of the battles), and because the colonists conquered America, there are countless stories portraying colonists and frontier men (as brave heroes)fighting the evil Indians but virtually nothing, if anything, (from the Indians side). I would change the way the colonists treated the Indians (for the better), if I could. The Indians probably didn’t deserve the rough treatment and ungrateful behavior (of the colonists). When they fought the colonists, I think they were (in their full right) (to do so), since the colonists, were really, invaders. Now, let’s pretend: you are (at home) (with a weapon) (on your person)and a hungry, armed person breaks (into your house). He guzzles (down your food) after you helped them eat, even though you could have tried to resist their invasion. Then, despite the fact that you fed them, and that they are intruders, they attack you, behaving like they own your house. What would you do' Would you attempt to make peace treaties and willfully submit to them' Or do you think that you would fight back, like the Indians did'
