Superior technology: professional soldiers armed with cannons, iron swords, armor and horses against foot warriors armed with spears and maces.Disease resistance: American natives didn't have resistance to diseases such as smallpox. This was the reason they died by the millions.
In Illinois, the reaction of Native American groups often centered around resistance to European-American encroachment on their lands and sovereignty. This resistance manifested in various forms, including armed conflicts such as the Black Hawk War in 1832, where the Sauk and Fox tribes, led by Chief Black Hawk, opposed removal from their ancestral territories. The state's policies and actions during this period led to significant displacement and suffering for Native American communities, ultimately resulting in the loss of their land and culture. These events marked a tumultuous chapter in the history of Native Americans in Illinois.
The Wounded Knee Massacre is considered to be the last of the "free Indians". Although it is thought of as the last of the resistance, ironically, Wounded Knee was not an Indian resistance. It was the senseless slaughter of old men, women and children on December 29, 1890.
Native American cultures employed various strategies to resist Spanish conquerors, including forming alliances among tribes, engaging in guerrilla warfare, and leveraging their knowledge of the terrain to their advantage. They also used diplomacy, attempting to negotiate terms that would protect their lands and way of life. Some groups, like the Pueblo peoples, organized significant uprisings, such as the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, which temporarily expelled the Spanish from New Mexico. Overall, their resistance was marked by both armed conflict and cultural resilience.

what was the armed resistance
The Battle of Wounded Knee in 1890 marked a tragic culmination of the U.S. government's efforts to suppress Native American resistance and assimilate Indigenous peoples. The massacre effectively ended armed Native American opposition to westward expansion, leading to increased government control over Native lands and further encroachment by settlers. This event symbolized the brutal consequences of expansionist policies and accelerated the marginalization of Native cultures, paving the way for the establishment of reservations and the continuation of westward settlement. Ultimately, it reinforced the idea of Manifest Destiny, justifying further expansion at the expense of Indigenous populations.
