Columbus and the truth behind the legend

When a group of people are different from us their way of nutriment Is wrong. That Is what it seems to come down to when most conflicts in history are broken down. Men vs.. Women. Hippies vs.. disposal officials. Blacks vs.. Whites. Jews vs.. , wellspring, e realone. All kidding aside it is very true. When Columbus first arrived in the Americas in 1492 he wrote, speaking of the primal Americans, They were well-built, with good bodies and handsome features.They do not bear arms, and do not know hem, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance. They have no iron. Their spears are made of cane. They would film fine servants. With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want. Just because they were miscellanea and offered gifts to the new comers kind of of only suspicion, as his culture was use to always doing with strange people, he pattern them Inferior and easily controlled. Later on he obviously finds out that It Is not as mere(a) as he thought.Yes he took control but he also lost a stagger of them due to illness, rebellion, and massacres. Native Americans thought of the Europeans culture to be barbaric and distrustful. Some of the tribes didnt take to the intruders as well as opposite tribes did. They took some time getting organized due to tribes usually fighting against each other but by the sass, according to West Virginia Archive & History, a Confederacy was created. The Iroquois Confederacy. They fought to get their background back. Did they win? Obviously not. But they didnt go down without a eight.Afro Americans had a big issue as well when they first arrived in the Americas. In 1619 when the first slaves arrived, tied(p) though they werent labeled as slaves at this time, they were automatically considered Inferior to the white Europeans simply because they were of a darker skin and a different culture. They thought them hazardous even though back In Africa they had, a t the time, a longer living civilization even than to the mother lands themselves. But the African culture believed their servants to be equals.Some even had them join the family through marriage. Sadly in the Americas they treated them as dirt. Both the African servants and the European servants. A good one to compare is the interior Europeans and the Europeans sent over to the Americas to simply work for 2-7 years as a servant and then perhaps make a name for themselves. Just because they were different not by skin color, not by culture, but by status alone. Even with something so small the upper Europeans act as if the other Europeans are from a different world ND outcast them.Just in the beginning of Americas history the very simply truth is that the human race Is afraid of anything different. Change Is something that goes against our very nature so Instead of compromising with people that we meet that are different from us we simply cast them out as If they are plagued with s omething other than another view or opinion than our own. It is sad to think what the discovery to expanding their minds and evaluate the Native Americans instead of destroying them for being uncivilized.
