Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The relationship between the native peoples in the United States and the European settlers was initially friendly. However, as the settlers were able to achieve some level of security, they began to spread and take the land they wanted.

#2 The American colonists and the natives were never safe from each other, as the colonists would break their peace treaties and promises to the natives.

#3 The Trail of Tears was the result of the exchange between the Europeans and the native Americans. The Europeans brought horses and guns, and the natives taught the Europeans how to survive in their new home. But the Europeans also brought diseases and a religion that could be used to justify some of the worst atrocities in western civilization.

#4 The American History textbook ignores the significant impact Native Americans had on the founding of the United States. The Constitution was based on the founders’ admiration for the Iroquois Confederacy, but was ignored when it became inconvenient for Americans to uphold their agreements and treaties.
