Who were the people Columbus encountered in the bahamas and what did he call them?
He encountered Native Americans, he believed he had arrived at India so he called them indians.
Did Early English explorers encountered conflict and Native American resistance when they tried to establish Jamestown?
No, the native people didn't resist. And for that europeans committed unintended genocide upon the native people, animals and plants in the western hemisphere.
What Indian group did Columbus first encounter in the new world?
Columbus first encountered the group of Indians called Taino or "noble ones."
What is the difference between an explorer and a conquistador?
A conquistador was Spanish and looked only for riches and power. A conquistador had 3 Gs: gold, God, and glory. Gold for riches, God for converting people to Catholicism - since the majority of Spaniards, including royalty were Catholics (and still are) at the time - and glory for power. An exploerer could be from any country and had motivations which were diverse and might include scientific curiosity, personal fame, or they were on a mission from their host country to explore new land and claim it. Conquistadors are gone now, but we still have explorers.
How did Columbus set precedents for the treatment of native Americans that others followed?
Columbus wrote in his diary that the people he met would make good slaves. Right off he considered himself superior to the Native Americans he encountered. He saw them as heathen and the Europeans after him felt the same way. It was an attitude that came with the invaders.
