Answer:

He refused to do anything.

Explanation:

Franklin Pierce was the United States President between 1853 to 1857. His administration was marred by a lot of controversies particularly the event known as Bleeding Kansas.

In 1855 during the election to determine if Kansas were to be added as a Slave state or not, the process was marred by fraud and eventually led to violence.

However, instead of doing anything about the violence, "Pierce refused to do anything." He chose to let the politics of Kansas be resolved by the residents, even though it was believed to lend toward the pro-slavery side.

What does the colonists' selling the defeated survivors of the Pequot Wars into slavery illustrate about their relationship with

daser333 [38]

Answer:

They treated land and American Indians as their property. Also, they had a hostile relationship with the American Indians.

Explanation:

The tensions between the American Indians and the English Colonists was caused due to their choice of trade sources. While the English people traded with the Narragansetts and Mohegans, the Pequot tribe traded with the Dutch. The Pequot tribe began the targeted extermination of some colonists such as John Stone and his seven companions, as well as John Oldham.

The English colonists repaid the attacks with a very intensive and sudden attack in 1637 that completely exterminated the vast majority of the Pequot tribe. The few survivors were sold off as slaves.
