he thoughts and perspectives of indigenous individuals, especially those who lived during the 15th through 19th centuries, have survived in written form less often than is optimal for the historian. Because such documents are extremely rare, those interested in the Native American past also draw information from traditional arts, folk literature, folklore, archaeology, and other sources.

Native American history is made additionally complex by the diverse geographic and cultural backgrounds of the peoples involved. As one would expect, indigenous American farmers living in stratified societies, such as the Natchez, engaged with Europeans differently than did those who relied on hunting and gathering, such as the Apache. Likewise, Spanish conquistadors were engaged in a fundamentally different kind of colonial enterprise than were their counterparts from France or England.

The sections below consider broad trends in Native American history from the late 15th century to the late 20th century. More-recent events are considered in the final part of this article, Developments in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

North America and Europe circa 1492

The population of Native America

Scholarly estimates of the pre-Columbian population of Northern America have differed by millions of individuals: the lowest credible approximations propose that some 900,000 people lived north of the Rio Grande in 1492, and the highest posit some 18,000,000. In 1910 anthropologist James Mooney undertook the first thorough investigation of the problem. He estimated the precontact population density of each culture area based on historical accounts and carrying capacity, an estimate of the number of people who could be supported by a given form of subsistence. Mooney concluded that approximately 1,115,000 individuals lived in Northern America at the time of Columbian landfall. In 1934 A.L. Kroeber reanalyzed Mooney’s work and estimated 900,000 individuals for the same region and period. In 1966 ethnohistorian Henry Dobyns estimated that there were between 9,800,000 and 12,200,000 people north of the Rio Grande before contact; in 1983 he revised that number upward to 18,000,000 people.

Why did the colonists first accept and then later reject indirect taxes such as duties on trade
Pepsi [2]
Initially, the colonists accepted these taxes because they were lightly enforced by the government. These taxes were also light themselves, and were not a harsh payment to make for imports. When the British government did enforce these light duties and eventually added more direct taxes, the colonists feared that by accepting these, they would lose their property and political rights to the British. In the end, the colonists opposed all taxes imposed on them by the government.

The history behind what we now know as a television goes back to 1920 when it was invented; nevertheless, it wasn’t until 1950´s when televisions became a house hold item. During the first years after the television´s invention, not many people had them in their houses; the reason being their price; it was too high for the masses, and decided to lower the price, without any success. Televisions were still not purchased by the majority of Americans; they just could not afford it. But, when their popularity started to rise, it happened almost overnight. In 1949, there were approximately, 1 million television sets and that number increased drastically; so much so that by 1950 there were 50 million sets in the houses of Americans.  

Paul Gottlieb Nipkow was a German technician who invented the Nipkow disk, named after him; his invention was the most successful for television transmissions at the time. During the 20th century, as television sets became more and more affordable for the average American, companies started switching from analog signals for broadcasting, to digital signals; this was, sending the signal to the TV set along cable television system, which brought along with it, more accessories and commodities for society. After more people started buying TV sets, so did the demand for cable television, and that opened the door for the introduction of the service for house and internet services.

It is safe to say that Paul Gottlieb Nipkow was responsible for the television advancement and changing society in the 20th century forever. From advertising to marketing, cartoons, tv shows and news; as this new technology came about, so did advancement in other indirect areas. During the 1950´s, commercials were more about cars, kitchen appliances and beer. Transatlantic images were now able to go thru, along with the entrance of TV sets into American homes, so did new shows, such as Mickey Mouse, I love Lucy, The Tonight Show and many more. As far as news, it made Americans more and more aware of events happening outside their territorial limits. Beyond their county, city, state, country or continent. World War II was able to be transmitted.
