The Historical Background of the Indian War

The concept of "Indian War" refers to the war between Native Americans and European immigrants in the United States today.

The Indian War spanned more than 150 years and began long before the founding of the United States today.

1492, after Christopher Columbus discovered the New World, the Spanish first arrived in North America and established temporary settlements here.

15 13 years, after the Spanish discovered what is now Florida, the first permanent colony named St. Augustine was established there in 1565, which became the United States. In the following 50 years, other European maritime and trade powers also came here continuously.

1605, the French established the first royal port in Nova Scotia, and it was not until two years later that British colonists established Jamestown in Virginia.

Dutch immigrants 16 13 set up a trading post in Manhattan. During this period, there was little interaction with North American aborigines, and the two sides got along well. Although there are occasional slavery or small-scale conflicts with Indians, they mainly trade with each other.

With the landing of English missionaries in Winston, Louro, on the east coast of the United States in 1620, the wave of European exiles poured into the American continent.

Indians were friendly to European immigrants at first. On the contrary, European immigrants tried to split, kidnap, attack, deceive and provoke them. So the main responsibility of the war lies with Europeans, who captured Indians and sold them as slaves. Indian slaves are the root of black slaves. Out of pity for the Indians, Las Casas, a white missionary, proposed to transport blacks (he regretted it all his life).

So in 1638, the first black people were transported from the West Indies in exchange for the native Indians from Connecticut.

17 12 years, a quarter of new york residents were slaves, and a quarter of slaves were North American Indians.

1730 A census in South Kingston, Rhode Island showed that there were 935 whites, 333 African slaves and 223 indigenous Indian slaves.

The Indian way of life greatly influenced the white people. Many famous systems, such as the federal system, are modeled after the Indian parliament. Until 1890 lost its national independence, whites defected and joined the Indians.

During Washington's administration, the American Indian War consumed 80% of the total federal income. For their successors, the Indian issue has been a major issue and a major expense for a century.

The Dutch found canasi aborigines and exchanged some metal pots, steel knives and axes, guns and baskets for the ownership of Manhattan, which is worth more than $2,400 today. Then they drove away the real owners of Manhattan-the Keiski people, and built a big wall to stop them from counterattack. The Great Wall is located on today's Wall Street.
