Five most impactful changes to Native American populations! Please help ASAP?
1. smallpox ( killed 90%) 2. measles 3.influenza 4. extermination policies- offering bounties for native scalps, deliberate hunting and murder 5. forced relocation policies- caused massive deaths (1/3 of populations) by starvation
Since the Europeans first landed in the Americas, the death toll from non native diseases has been between 50–100 million native americans. The most devastating diseases was smallpox, but other deadly diseases included typhus, measles, influenza, bubonic plague, cholera, malaria, tuberculosis, mumps, yellow fever and pertussis, which were chronic in Eurasia.In some areas, 90% the native population succumbed to these diseases. as it did with the Aztec’s. Allowing the Europeans to dominate the population that was left.The native americans in turn gave the Europeans Syphilis.
In the 1500s the lives of the native americans would change forever because of the :?
arrival of europeans would make their lives so much better. no more cannibalism, live more than 30 years. learn to read and write, benefit from european technology, benefit from european science and medicine, jump forward thousands of years without having to work for it. from stoneaged illiterate cannibalism to 16th century in one fel swoop. never had to earn anything
How did the arrival of the european settlers change life for the native americans?
European diseases decimated native populations as they had no immunity to illnesses common in Spain, France, England, Portugal, Holland. Those in the Caribbean were mostly exterminated. Many in South America, after the Spanish and Portuguese conquests, were sent into slavery. Later on, in North America, there was more movement - for example, with the American Revolution many loyalist native americans traveled north to settle in British Canada, or more infamous, forced migrations such as the Trail of Tears in the 19th century.
There were several reasons Africans were used as slaves in the New World rather than Native Americans:Native Americans were very vulnerable to Old World diseases and tended to die when near or exposed to Europeans and their colonists. Some believe up to 90% of Native Americans died from Old World diseases.Africans had much greater resistance to both Old World diseases and tropical diseases, which means they were better suited to survive in warmer climates than both Native Americans and European colonists.Africans were captured with European weapons by other Africans, sold to European slave traders and brought to lands with which they were unfamiliar. Almost all of the other slaves they encountered were of a similar Negroid race.Native Americans were extremely familiar with their lands, could often escape from slavery or capture, and had relatives and friends to support them after they escaped. Proximity to their original freedom made it more difficult to enslave them.Spain disallowed enslavement of Native Americans for some years, at least in theory, and other European powers discouraged it in various ways sometimes. Wars between Native Americans and colonists did not always result in slavery for the Native Americans.Europeans and their colonists rationalized bringing Africans into Christendom. Native Americans did not have to leave their native lands to be converted to Christianity. [Cf. Some of the Puritans sold Native American Christians into slavery in the West Indies.]Africans had a more advanced agricultural heritage and culture than Native Americans and were better trained for the agricultural tasks involved in the New World.Prison & Slavery - A Surprising Comparison.
The first conquistadors were commissioned by the Spanish rulers to govern as theirs any land and it's inhabitants they found in the New World. Their only responsibility was to share with the Spanish crown a % of the riches, especially the gold and silver, they were expected to find. The conquistadors used their authority to the fullest by enslaving the local populations and literally working them to death in the fields and mines. Any resistance was met by swift murderous reprisals by the Spanish. Within a few years of occupying the large island of Hispaniola, Columbus and his appointed overseers had reduced the native Arawak population of 100,000 to essentially zero. A similar pattern of abuse occurred throughout Central and South America and southwestern U.S. reducing subject populations by 90% or more and leading to the need to import enslaved people from Africa to provide labor. Thanks to his decades long campaign of protest against these atrocities, Bartoleme de Las Casa, succeeded in getting Spain to abolish the Encomienda system in 1550. After that time native americans could no longer be ‘legally' enslaved but were still required to perform a fixed amount of labor each year. While this repstimiento system was still abusive, it did ease the effectively genocidal policies of the first wave of conquistadors. Ironically, the English and French later justified their occupation and settlements in the New World as a supposed improvement and protection from the “Black Legend” of Spanish atrocities documented by Las Casas.
Ok, here is what I felt after staying here after few months.US has developed so much that people have lost the natural social behavior and more bounded by rules and regulations. Its has tried to mix everything and it looks like experiment has failed to balance everything. Everything has gone automatic here, even the human behavior. People are just in habit of very short formal talks. In India people interact with confidence and with full involvement. In US people try to communicate but individualism gap can be clearly seen in their attitude. India has strong social interaction roots. US will take 500 years to reach their. People are more concerned about standards and quality here, which putting pressure on everyone. India is more concerned about happiness then standards. India believe in groups, happiness and faith where as US believe in individual and privacy. US multi-cultural society has far more gap then Indian multi-culture society. Indian societies are full of festivals and events everyday. In US you will not find kids playing in local parks as in India. That charm is missing between neighbor kids in US. You will not find the daily meeting and laughs of neighbors in US. In Indian neighbors are part of family, In US there are no such neighbors, very rare. Only the thing which US lead is infrastructure but India is not too far if we see the current growth rate. India is too much changed in just 5 years. Where it will be after 50 years, you can think.This was my personal opinion.
One of the worst impacts was that the railways brought in (and employed) hunters that slaughtered almost to extinction the buffalo that the nomadic plains tribes used a the primary source of food, clothing, etc.They organised train loads of hunters who would kill all buffalo within range of the train tracks. The bodies were just left to rot. The population of buffalo that had numbered in the millions fell to under a thousand entirely because of this activity.This was considered by the US Army at the time a legitimate attic to weaken the native tribes - and ensured that the tribes became dependent on the government for food, needed to permanently settle close to where the government wanted to feed them and ultimately became compliant in living in whatever worthless area the settlers didn't want as reservation.
