How might settlers' attitude towards native Americans have changed from 1630s to the 1650s?

From the 1630s to the 1650s, settlers' attitudes toward Native Americans shifted from initial curiosity and cooperation to increased suspicion and hostility. Early interactions often involved trade and mutual assistance, but as colonial expansion intensified, settlers began to perceive Native Americans as obstacles to their land and resources. This growing tension led to conflicts, such as the Pequot War in the 1630s, resulting in a more adversarial relationship characterized by mistrust and violence. By the 1650s, many settlers viewed Native Americans primarily as threats to their settlements and security.

It affected them negatively because they were no longer allowed to trade with anyone except their home country, and therefore their goods and supplies were being controlled. Trade was kept inside the British Empire, and for the most part, the colonists obeyed the acts. However it was one of the things that sparked tension between the colonies and England.
