How did the arrival of the europeans change the Cherokee?

Answer 1

Social, as well as cultural disintegration occurred. The Europeans introduced their own forms of religions, and various other aspects of European culture. Because the Cherokees had a very coordinated economy/government they were able to "fuse" themselves for a very long time to the uprising European juggernaut. However, when the time came for the Cherokees to take a side in the Revolutionary war things got nasty.

Answer 2

The Cherokee, like all other natives, were forced to assimilate to European values and lifestyles. The Cherokee were easier to assimilate than other nations because their lifestyle at the time was closer (than some) to the proposed lifestyle offered by assimilation.

Native American's did not, as a general rule, have a concept of "Evil" and that is the one key influence that European's (later Americans) brought to them. That a man could say one thing and do another was a concept that they didn't know or understand; only those 'mental deviants' were capable of this type of action.

Answer 3

Many took up Christianity, made their houses differently, started to learn English, used different farming tools, and made a constitution.

Answer 4
