If not, tension always arises, creating a recipe for conflict and war. In New England, when the English settlers came, tensions emerged among the settling communities as well as the Native American communities. Land was a key factor in the tensions, driven by increasing English settlers and inter-tribal politics; the Pequot people carried the burden of what Philbrick terms as “European-style genocide”. The devastating brutality of the resultant conflict led all sides to seek accommodation and end the conflict. In both books, the themes, ideas and the driving forces that dictate the course of actions are similar, only that they happen at different centuries (Philbrick…

As stated before the assessment of what little went on between the 1800 to the 1860 are true. Some might not think it was, but in realty this did happened. People felt this injustice of how they were treated. Men and women were not always looked the same. Women were expected to act a certain way. They fought for their right, but it would come a long time before they saw any change. Whites and African Americans feelings and power were so different. Which is why we have to really see what America is today to see how wrong it was before.…
Both men hold the erroneous belief that a vendetta is valid, and that somehow they can dominate the use of this land. Both assumptions prove fatal. Humans have carried out vendettas throughout…
The British and French in America were in war to each increase their land holdings. The French, called “runners of the wood,” wanted to expand their territories with respect to fur-trading and other French economic interests. The Indians migrated around so much and envied others permanent settlements, so they therefore wanted land to call their own. The British, like both the French and Indians, wanted one land. French, British, and Indians were fighting against each other in regard to the common cause of land holding.…
Conflicts over land developed between Native Americans and the settlers. The Natives took up most of the land because they moved from place to place. They did not have a set territory. They were like “foxes and wild beasts…” Colonist said “so it is lawful now to take a land which none useth; and make use of it.” Europeans believed that land was essential for a society to progress. On the other hand, Native American viewed the land as a resource to be used and left unchanged. Because of this fight over land and misunderstanding of cultures, colonists justified wars against the Native Americans.…
Imagine you an Native American working around your house just peacefully doing what you have to do. Then you see some settlers walking on your land with a gun ordering you out of your land. If you were that Native American what would you do? Native Americans once had all their land and were living peacefully then they signed a piece of paper and lost it all and got moved away. Then settlers and miners kept on taking and taking and taking their land away from them breaking the paper the Natives signed. This conflict could have been avoided if the Americans communicated better and treated the Native Americans Better. This conflict occurred because of the concept of superiority, land ownership, and gathering food.…
The natives and settlers conflicted over lots of things all throughout history. Some causes of conflict were more important than others. Some were misunderstood, others were about land and resources, a few were about how some people were more superior than others. The most important causes of conflict are miscommunication & misunderstanding, settlers belief that they were superior, and different beliefs about land and land use.…

The occurrences of massacres throughout the 19th and early 20th century highlight the reasons in which conflict could and did occur. The motives vary and are abstract, past the simplistically of social darwinism being the main cause. It was not well determined in the 18 century, unlike now that imbedded in there culture was little or no concept of ownership or property, because of this the aboriginals unknowingly where considered hostile when trespassing on to settlers land as they believed the land belonged to all people, in the same sense the the aboriginals also considered the settlers hostile as they were using their land without permission. Unsurprisingly this led to increased tensions between groups. These tensions fused greatly, as means…
