What were the costs and benefits of the European settlement in North America for American Indians?

There were no benefits to the Native Americans. By allowing Europeans to gain a foothold, they inadvertently invited disaster. THe Europeans claimed there would be benefits for the Native Americans, such as guns they could use for hunting or fighting. In reality, however, there were no advantages. The few who weren't wiped out by disease that Europeans brought were killed during wars to drive out the colonists, or were driven further and further west and away from their homes.


Why were English colonist so successful at enslaving Native Americans?

The English colonist were successful at enslaving Native Americans for a number of reasons. Firstly the English had superior military technology such as guns and cannons. This gave them an advantage in any conflict with the Native Americans who had limited access to firearms. Secondly the English also had access to diseases that the Native Americans had not yet been exposed to such as smallpox which decimated their population. Finally the English had access to a vast network of trading and military alliances which allowed them to outmaneuver the Native Americans in any conflict. The English colonist were therefore able to take advantage of these factors to gain control over the Native Americans and enslave them. This involved a combination of military force disease and political maneuvering to gain control of Native American lands resources and labor. The English were then able to use the Native Americans as a source of free labor as well as a source of resources to support the growing English colonies.
