Question

Why did warfare between colonists and American Indians during the 17th century generate a sense of superiority among the colonists? They were proud of their own success despite the American Indians having more sophisticated weapons. They considered the American Indians' style of fighting to be not just unethical but also savage. They saw their lack of any losses as proof that they were destined to control the land. They believed that the American Indians' use of the colonists' weapons was a sign of intelligence.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C) They saw their lack of any losses as proof that they were destined to control the land.

The warfare between colonists and American Indians during the 17th century generated a sense of superiority among the colonists in that "they saw their lack of any losses as proof that they were destined to control the land."

Without a doubt, the white European colonies had much better weapons than the Native American Indian tribes. The Indians had disadvantages on this issue that affected the results in battles.

This created the wrong impression in the colonists that they were better prepared and deserved the right to control the land and domain the Native American Indians.

This, of course, generated a lot of resentment on the part of the Indians that saw how the white colonizers continued to take their lands to settle in and exploit the raw materials and natural resources.
