African and Native American Slavery
The 1500's, a time of discovery, was when the Europeans came to dominatemost of the New World. The Europeans traveled to Africa and captured Africansto help develop their land and satisfy their need for power. I feel that thetreatment of the Indians and Africans by the Europeans was completelyunjustifiable. While the Indians and Africans were less technologicallyadvanced and the Europeans were uneducated, in this particular field, nothingcan compensate for the actions of the Europeans.As Europeans began to settle new lands they began their exploration ofthe foreign worlds. What they found was the opposite of what they expected.They found what they thought was a new breed of humans. In reality they werejust Native Americans. These Indians were less technologically advanced thanthe Europeans. They also worshipped different and multiple gods and atedifferent foods. Europeans saw this as barbaric, so they treated them as
I can not believe how they could thinkthat the color of someone's ones skin or religious beliefs could make them lesshuman. When I heard that I was shocked that a man could treat someone like that. The manoffered her to the ship's captain and referred to her as a belly warmer. They figured that when the WhiteMan came and showed all that hospitality they meant it. They would treat them as they did the Indians, and for much thesame reason. Of course, they didn't,the Europeans captured the Indians to be used as slaves. As we watched the movie Roots, I noticed a part in the movie where theywere on a ship and a man brings in a black woman, who was a slave. People have feelings and cannot be treated as objects. In the beginning Native Americans hadn't the faintest idea of what theEuropeans had in mind when they said trade. The women were raped for sickand disgusting reasons. They would savagely beat them to get them to work harder thanhumanly possible and they would rape the women. I don't think that I will everknow how any one could do such a thing. Europeans didn't feel that the women, or men for thatmatter, were worth anything as humans so they were beat and raped without anythought about what they might be doing. People of the next generation whose parents owned slaves and grew upthinking slaves were okay is understandable.
