This passage expresses some of the negative attitudes that English settlers had towards American Indians.
First, the quotes serve to highlight the fact that colonists did not feel particularly bad for the deaths of the natives, as they show no empathy towards them. They were most likely indifferent to the loss of culture and the disruption of family life that this caused as well.
Moreover, it shows that they knew the reasons why the Indians were dying (smallpox), but had no interest in taking any measures to prevent it.
Third, they show a sense of entitlement over the lands of the indigenous people. As most of them have died, and the population cannot defend itself, they have no problem in taking their land forcefully.
Finally, by comparing themselves to the Spanish, they also show awareness of the destruction and chaos that colonial powers have created in other places, and are thankful that they did not have to engage in a difficult war with the Native Americans.

Answer and Explanation:
During the 10th and 11th centuries, China, influenced by neo-confusion, valued women for their purity, beauty, delicacy, femininity and submissiveness. One feature had the ability to promote all of these elements to a woman. This feature was known as lotus feet, which is characterized by very small feet that were formed through a very painful and dangerous process.
Women, especially those from wealthy families, needed to be seen with value by society. This was because it was necessary for them to be able to make good marriages, to promote good relationships between families. This appreciation of women was only possible if they fit the standards of society around beauty and behavior. These standards were achieved with lotus feet.
This mandatory marriage meant that the girls had no choice but to be subjected to the painful process of tying their feet.
Large buildings with barreled shaped roofs covered in bark made by Native Americans and other peoples across the world were considered "longhouses" in the Americas. These longhouses were permanent structures that housed many families of the same clan in a singular building.
