The European colonization had devastating impact on Native Americans due to environmental changes and the introduction of diseases:
- The introduction of European weapons linked to the popularity of beavers led to overhunting. <u>Overhunting led to the extinction of beavers which affected the ecosystem as a whole. Europeans also brought pigs to the new land that ended up eating the foods deers and other animals depended on leading to scarcity.</u>
- <u>Europeans brought with them diseases (such as smallpox) that the native population were NOT immune to which resulted in a great number of deaths. The high mortality rate of the older population meant the loss of both tradition and knowledge.</u>

Explanation:
Spoils system is a form of socio-political governmental practice in which the ruling party compensated its dedicated supporters and those that campaigned heavily for them with a political appointment or government jobs or positions.
Spoils system is considered a problem because it often leads to the employment of people in the government based on party nepotism rather than competency.
It leads to abuse of political power by the ruling party
It increases the acts of bribery and undue influence
For Native Americans at the time, it would have been next to impossible to understand something like the Treaty of Tordesillas. This treaty intended to partition tracts of land that the Europeans did not even know whether they existed, an action that may have looked like sheer madness and even dishonorable, for the Europeans claimed possession of lands they had not conquered by the force of their arms.Maybe, after some thought and analysis, Native Americans would have felt outraged as a man living in such a distant place, the Pope in Rome, who had no authority whatsoever for them, made the decision of handing over lands, people,wealth, etc, to two different groups of Europeans. Perhaps, other Native Americans, once they managed to understand that agreement so odd to them, might have found it laughable and it might have prompted them to challenge to take what was their own over their dead bodies.
The quota system limited the amont of foreigners/immagrants allowed in the US from each different foreign country.
Th group affected most by this were the Europeons.
They were kept from combat roles.
