Perspective on the European settlers, they were so Essays

Perspective on the European settlers, they were so rude and arrogant to the Natives. Europeans had no respect for anybody, they didn't even care what the Natives had to say (that's what I think). The Europeans just came to this land thinking they could just say to the natives, "This is our land now and you have to do and say what you are told or else we will kill you family". The way they treated people wasn't right. But they were also scared of Natives as well as the wild animals in the forest on the land. Europeans were just a bunch of barbarians they didn't know how to run things. My perspective on the Native Americans is that they found the land first and if you find it first you get to keep it first. I learned that the Native Americans are gullible, because they let the Europeans walk all over them. Then the Europeans took what was once the Native Americans and claimed at as theirs. The Native Americans were defenseless and didn't know what to do other than listen to the European settlers. The Natives should have just told the European settlers to go look for land else where they could have kept the land that they found to themselves, and didn't have to share it with anybody else. The Natives knew how to speak of themselves, and they were also strong willed. The perspectives are so different because they were two totally different tribes or groups of people, that's why the perspectives are so different. I think whatever the state tells the school to tell the teachers what the kids need to be taught then the teachers will teach us whatever the state has provided the teachers with. I think that the Europeans were just so over powering over the Native Americans that the natives didn't want anything to happen to their families or friends. The Natives just did whatever the Europeans told them to do, because they didn't want any harm coming to anybody on the land. In general, the European has no place to take the land that the Natives has found first from them.
