Had no natural protection from diseases brought by Europeans.
One main reason that Native Americans were being so rapidly conquered was that the they had not built up any immunities to the diseases that the European settlers had brought with them. These diseases spread wildly and killed many native populations very quickly. Another factor was that most Native American tribes did not believe that land could be owned privately, as in their cultures they had always shared the land as a community resource.
At first the Pilgrims and the Native Americans got along well but as more and more settlers arrived and they demanded more land, the relationship between the Native Americans and the Pilgrims snapped and they went to battle in King Philip's War.
Well, to start off, the Europeans had guns while the Native Americans had weaker equipment such as spears and bows and arrows. They also had far more advanced minds because of the confidence we had. Also, Many war sergeants had seen enough and were crazy enough to do things that some generals had no idea that would work. Also, if you have a better answer and want to add anything, please do! These are just a few of the things that were advantages to their strategic plans. (I am a 7th grader who has just recently learned about this and just got this out of a textbook, while putting it in my own words. Thank You for at least checking this out!) <3 y'all, -Skittles^^ The Native Americans thought exactly what the Europeans thought, "Who are these people?" But the Native Americans had no reason to fight, it was their land that they FOUND first. Native Americans actually never were native. they traveled here in search of new land just like the Europeans. they traveled here from Asia, believe it or not, they started their journey here around 30,000 years ago but arrived around 14,000 years ago. just to say im also a 7th grader who just happens to be researching this stuff.
Native Americans had most reason to be concerned about the idea of Manifest Destiny.Native Americans in the West
