Answer:
Dr Howard Zinn and Schweikart wrote history describing colonization and the arrival of European in America with discussing people who cleared the wilderness along with their mistakes.
Explanation:
Zinn wrote 'A People's History of the United States' where he explains about the arrival of Europeans in America. He gives a brief description of Columbus arrival and colonization.
The Jamestown colony founded by settlers led by John Smith. The Massachusetts Bay Colony established by Puritans (Pilgrims). The uneasy between settlers and Pequot Indians started to hostile relations, which led to the Pequot War. Settlers pushed Pequot Indians out of their land where they have resided for years. The land confiscated which allowed colonists to seize the uncultivated land with force and wars in future.
But despite Indian conflict, exposure, starvation, famine, disease, and other hardships, the English kept coming to America. In 1619 they started bringing African slaves into the middle colonies. Zinn writes that colonists could not force the Indians to work for them. Native Indians outnumbered, while, settlers with firearms massacre the Indians, and in return, they face killing. Settlers could not capture them and keep them enslaved as the Indians were resourceful, strong, defiant, and at their home (woods).
According to Schweikart, English respect for property rights soon eclipsed. English colonists found the land so abundant that anyone could own it. Setters gave England an advantage in the colonization process over rivals it further improved by growing religious toleration brought by Puritans. The Chief Powhatan's daughter, Pocahontas marriage to John Rolfe, in 1614 reflected towards the peace relation between the Indian and English settlers.
