The conflict between white settlers and tribal groups that I think was the most damaging to the American Indian as a whole would be how the Native Americans were enslaved by the Conquistadors.
The Spaniards enslaved the Native Americans for over 200 years and the Native were subjected to hardcore labor. Some Natives were murdered and the Spaniard also made an effort to eradicate the culture of the Native Americans.
<h2>
Further Explanation</h2>
The involvement of the Spanish in the American Indian slave trade started in early 1493. It began when Christopher Columbus, an Italian explorer, and colonizer made his second trip to the Americas in early 1493. During his visit, Christopher Columbus enslaved several Native Americans.
On record over 500 Native Americans were enslaved and were moved to Spain during this period, the Native Americans were subjected to hard labor and most of them were forced to work for the sake of making profits.
Christopher Columbus was a colonizer and an Italian explorer, his expeditions to the Americas was the starting point for conquest and also opened the new world for the European colonization of the Native Americans.
Christopher Columbus went on a journey with the purpose to find and create a westward route to the Far East but along his way, he discovered a route to the Americas which was not known to the old world at that time.
Some of the places Columbus visited include
- The Caribbean
- South America
