6th hour Colonial Development In the Colonial period Native Americans and White Landowners each viewed
Quakers in completely different views. I hope to explain that the Quakers and the
Indians shared more similarities, than there counterparts the White Landowners. The White
Landowners saw them always superior and looked down on the Quakers, where the Indians shared more problems and needed their help as they they could relate to the Quakers, somewhat. The Quakers and the Indians in the 18th and 19th century related to their religion especially those found in the east. The Native Americans had different morals of the French and the British, example, the Huron tribe was considered a tribe to do business with by the French. The Huron tribe did not like the British. The Huron joined the French because they thought that the French were more powerful. The Huron were selfish and heartless and they would kill them if they didn’t accept their job. The Huron felt they could manipulate French and they would let them keep their land. Huron knew that the Mohicans, were on the British side. Overall, the Native Americans viewed he colonists very carefully. The Native Americans did not trust any of them the main reason is that they believed land could not be owned. The colonists knew they needed the Native Americans for survival. The colonists were shocked by the beautiful pelts Native Americans made and they knew that they were the style in Europe and they traded fur for kettle, guns and other material goods. Therefore they needed one another for survival.. The colonists didn’t interact with the Indians because they came over thinking they were better then the Indians in the

    3) Quakers- Quakers are members of the Society of Friends. The new, small sect rejected earthly and religious hierarchies. Quakers believed that anyone could be saved by directly receiving God’s “inner light” and that all people were equal in God’s sight. Quakers allowed anyone, male or female, to speak in meetings or become a “public friend” and travel to spread God’s word. Many did not welcome Quakers and they were very much persecuted, and some were even hanged for preaching the Quaker doctrine. And finally in 1681, they obtained their own colony, given to them by Charles II. It was located between Maryland and New York; it was given to William Penn, one of his good friends and a prominent member of the sect.…

    Native Americans had been all throughout the United States in early history, keeping to themselves living their lives. Americans believed the Indians to be savage and not worth the life they lived and some thought they should be exterminated, however, there were those who had compassion that believed that the Indians should be converted to Christianity and then everything would be fine (23).

    Arriving to North America, the Indians grew worried of the growing population of European settlers and colonists coming in and taking their lands. Though both Penn and Winthrop sought to gain lands for colonization, Penn had a more peaceful approach to the Indians. Penn would create good relations with the natives and the Quakers would negotiate over the lands in a just manner. Penn encouraged the Indian culture to come into the Quaker communities while Winthrop wanted to exclude the Indians out the Puritan communities. The Puritans in turn would just take lands from the Indians and force the Indians to fall back into the backcountry. Winthrop believed that the Indians “inclose no land, neither they have any settled habitation, nor any tame Cattle to improve the land by...we may lawfully take the [land].”…

    The relationship between the puritan settlers and the native Americans changed overtime between 1620 and 1676. In 1620, when the first Puritan settlers arrived on the mayflower, the two groups were apprehensive to meet each other. When they first truly met, they made agreements with each other. One group of natives, the Wampanoags, had a strong bond with the settlers. The group effectively saved the pilgrims from starvation and other hostile tribes. The Pilgrims and the Wampanoags had a strong bond and even aided each other against hostile natives.

    The Society of Friends or as they were familiarly known “Quakers” were followers of Englishman George Fox. During the 1600s they fled England because leaders of the Quakers challenged the English class system.

    At the start of the seventeenth century, Native Americans greeted European settlers with much excitement. They regarded settlers as strange, but were interested to learn about the new tools and weapons Europeans brought with them. The native people were more than accommodating to the settlers, but as time passed, Europeans took advantage of their generosity. “Once these newcomers disembarked and began to feel their way across the continent, they forever altered the course and pace of native development.” Native Americans and Europeans faced many conflicts due to their vast differences in language, religion and culture. European settlers’ inability to understand and respect Native Americans lead to many struggles that would eventually erupt into violent warfare.…

    The Religious Society of Friends nicknamed as the "Quakers" came into being in the seventeenth century. 4 George Fox was the initial leader. The group kind of formed itself.
