Why did they call Indian Americans engines?

Answer 1

The term "Indian" in reference to Native Americans originated from Christopher Columbus mistakenly believing he had reached the Indian subcontinent when he arrived in the Americas. The term "engine" likely comes from a misunderstanding or mispronunciation of the Spanish word "indio" (Indian). Over time, these terms were used interchangeably by European colonizers, leading to the use of "Indian" and "engine" as derogatory and inaccurate labels for Native American peoples.
