Mistreatment of Native American by the English
Native Americans were mistreated by the English. Because the new settlers of America believed that land would benefit them greatly with a new life and new settlement. The Native Americans were driven off there land, they became slaves for New England, they were forced to choose a religion and they had social mistreatment. Settlers coming to America had many negative images of Native Americans. In 1502, Sebastian Cabot began parading around three Eskimos that he had kidnapped on an Arctic voyage. These Eskimos were described as “flesh-eating savages” and “brute beasts” that had a language they spoke in which no one could understand. Amerigo Vespucci stated that, “these Native Americans were, brutal, loathsome half men, who lived with out law, religion, rulers, immortality of the soul, and private property.” The English had another reason for believing that Indians would not be friendly. They had read the experience of the Spanish and the Aztecs
