<span>Most people at that time thought the world was flat. When you
sailed out to sea and they could no longer see your ship they assumed
you fell off the edge of the world. Columbus figured out (not by
himself, other educated people also knew this) that the world was round.
He figured it was a lot smaller though. He thought he could sail out
into the ocean and come out in India, there by taking a short cut and
putting one over on Spain. What Columbus didn't realize was the world
was alot bigger than he thought and there was a whole Continent out
there nobody knew about. Sooooo when he landed in S. America he thought
he was in India.</span>
This of course depends entirely on the person in question, but generally speaking people who believe in such things would want to come back as animals somewhere at the "top" of the food chain.
The American colonists were eager to keep the Native American nations out of the mix when it came to the war with the British. The Native Americans could have looked at this as an opportunity to cause trouble for the white colonists and take advantage of the situation. Or the colonists could have looked at the Native American nations as potential allies and made promises to them if they assisted in the war effort. But the colonists appealed to native nations with a message of friendship -- not asking them to join in war against Britain, but also that they not act against the colonists' cause.
The quoted speech, by the way, was addressed to these Native American nations: <span>Mohawks, Oneidas, Tusscaroras, Onondagas, Cayugas, and Senekas.</span>
