180 Words1 Page

One of the lasting impact the Spanish settlements had; the settlers created a bad relationship with the natives. The natives had several purposes to contemn the settlers. One reason being, in document c, that it states that the natives inculpated the settlers, or more specifically priests, for transporting disease from Spain to the native’s motherland. Corresponding to the natives, the settlers also have their motives for resenting the natives. For instance, the Apache and Comanches tribes had slaughtered several innocent settlers and soldiers, as well as raiding a couple of missions around San Antonio and La Bahia (doc b). One final purpose that contributed to the repugnant relationship; the settlers tried to convert the Caddos, another native

Each of the documents provides insight to one of the three nationalities. It is fair to assume that the English were focused more on friendship, the Spanish set their eyes on the gold, and the French were insistent on converting the Native Americans to Christianity. Though they may have been cruel to their enemies, the natives were very kind and friendly towards the English colonizers, as stated in Document One.

    The colonists lived in a sense of fear that was defined by the idea that the Natives would attack and harm their families or commit crimes like rape. Hostility began to grow from these concerns resulting in attacking the Natives to keep them at bay and act as warning signals to stay away from their communities. However, the Natives actions were more defined by curiosity more so then provoking violence. But, in retaliation, the Natives would strike back as, not only did these settlers take their land but the acts of violence looked to be provocative. This ended in a realization that these Natives would either have to fight for the land they once had or lose it to the colonists that were already beginning to divide the land accordingly to the laws they had placed upon them.

    In 1519 conquistador Fernando Cortes and his men, along with their horses and weapons, arrived on the Mexican island of Cozumel off of the Yucatan after sailing months on the Atlantic Ocean from their home country of Spain (Deeds, Meyer, and Sherman, 78). After arriving on Cozumel, they were instructed by the “friendly natives” to go to the Yucatan and then later to an area by the name of Tabasco (Deeds, Meyer, and Sherman, 78). Once arriving in Tabasco, the Spaniards became aware that not all of the natives living in this new strange world would be quite as friendly as the ones on Cozumel. Here the Spaniards were greeted with arrows of resentment by the natives after Cortes explained that he and his men just wanted peace (Deeds, Meyer, and

    While thinking of some of the greatest settlements in history, England and Spain colonies should come to mind. Due to their dedication and slightly forceful determination to form their own rather small communities, they created a huge establishment in the Americas that will later influence other countries. Although the colonies were rarely influenced by each other, they both faced issues with many external factors. Both Spain and England encountered conflict between colonists and Native Americans, but England was more welcoming to religious differences while Spain strictly converted settlers to be Catholics. The role of Native American interaction was not the same for each settlement, especially for the Spanish and English colonies.

  • Cultural Differences: Similarities Between Spanish And Native Americans

    In the 16th Century, Spain became one of the European forces to reckon with. To expand even further globally, Spanish conquistadors were sent abroad to discover lands, riches, and North America and its civilizations. When the Spanish and Native American groups met one another, they judged each other, as they were both unfamiliar with the people that stood before them. The Native American and Spanish views and opinions of one another are more similar than different because when meeting and getting to know each other, neither the Spaniards nor the Native Americans saw the other group of people as human. Both groups of people thought of one another as barbaric monsters and were confused and amazed by each other’s cultures.

    In Chapter two section “Encountering the Spanish” Nichols stated, “The Indians’ first experiences with the Spanish proved more violent and disruptive than their meetings with most other Europeans.” I believe that the intentions of the Spanish Invasion of 1513 was always of evil and served not for religious purposes, but to further greed and corruption. The invasion was to let the Indians know and be alert that the Spanish wanted them to give up, convert to christianity, or else they will be killed. Furthermore, the Spanish feel that they have met the legal and religious obligation to take possession of the land and wage war against the natives. The requerimiento was a recitation of the Christian history of the world followed by the requirement that the Natives come forward of their own free will to convert to Catholicism.
