Answer 1

Based off of history, Natives generally did not give up land easily nor coexist, meaning they would often violently revolt against anyone taking their land.
The European colonists were also mostly against friendly Native American relations.
Also, William Bradford, along with his origins, were greatly Separatist, which means they involved God into their lives immensely.

So, it is safe to say that the answer is the third one.
