- Decribe native american culture before and after the arrival of Europeans.
The native americans were nomads before the europeans came and lived completely off the land and valued the land. They didn't have horses alcohol or guns. The native americans came to america thousands of years ago across the land bridge. Their gods were sun gods, earth and rain gods. AFTER the europeans came they lived in peace for a while and then the europeans wanted to move farther west, this caused conflict. Europeans went to war with the native americans and killed many through battle and disease. The europeans were unreliable and cruel forcing them out of the homes and land.
- Decribe reason the europeans began exploring.
The europeans began sailing and some small exploring with trading to asia. They were already exploring alternate routes to avoid taxing and to save time and money. The europeans were seeking land and power to expand their religion and to make a profit. Traveling was made easier and faster by the compass so exploring wasn't completely impossible anymore.
