Answer 1

Answer:

We can reasonably infer that this result was because the new settlers were taking control over the new land and did not keep their promise of peaceful settlement or co-existence.

Explanation:

Bryan Brown's article "The Real Story of Plymouth" recalls how the new settlers coming to Plymouth brought about the destruction and downfall of the native Americans, like the Wampanoag people. The article also includes how the Wampanoag people were deceived by the new settlers.

In the section titled "Broken Promises", Brown states how the "Wampanoag people couldn't fish or plant in the best areas." This was because "more and more old forest was cut down for new settlements or livestock."

So, we can infer that this result was because the new settlers were taking control over the new land and did not keep their promise of peaceful settlement or co-existence.
