The Mississippi Plan
Mississippi was the first state to enact laws preventing blacks from voting. Through literacy tests and poll taxes, blacks were prevented from voting because of cost and the inability to read. This system eventually evolved to include gerrymandering the districts to exclude blacks and primaries for whites only.
The policy of Mississippi spread to other southern states within twenty years. Each state used their own methods but the goal was all the same: prevent blacks from voting and/or holding government office. These laws continued in the US until the 1960's when the national government outlawed the practices.

Reading some of the explorers' diaries of that era makes it clear that communicating with new peoples was a known issue, and that there were fairly clear and well-defined toolboxes to deal with it. I'm thinking particularly of Joseph Banks' Endeavor voyage notebooks, but I've seen the same thing in others. They meet a new group of people with a strange language, and rather than freaking out over it they matter-of-factly begin to collect nouns and verbs, and pick up a working vocabulary in an impressively short time. It was part of the expectations, really.
It's likely that this attitude and approach didn't carry over to the actual colonists, as opposed to the explorers, but at least they could take advantage of the initial work if so desired.
