Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence  -enslaved his children

  • This is evident following the death of his wife, he fathered six children with Sally Hemmings, where four out of them were raised to become slaves on the plantation. These children include Beverly, Harriet, Madison, and Eston Hemings.

George Washington, General in the Continental Army - tried to recapture an enslaved woman who escaped to New Hampshire

  • Here, the runaway enslaved woman was known as Ona Judge, she was 22 years old when she fled in 1796. Washington tried to capture her again in 1799.

Sam Adams, politician, signer of the Declaration of Independence - failed to defend the property rights of Indigenous people.

  • This is evident in his writings which are titled "The right of the Colonists." While Sam Adams fought for the freedom of the American settlers, he failed to defend the property rights of native Americans.

Hence, it can be concluded that many US founding fathers have contradictory characters.

In 3–5 sentences, explain the impacts that European contact and settlement had on the Native Americans
Inga [223]

Though Native American tribes did occasionally form positive relationships with European settlers, permanent European settlement in America eventually led to disease and displacement. Native Americans had no immunity to European illnesses and their population was devastated by this disease called smallpox.

England was consumed with and distracted by domestic matters. This gave the colonies some independence to form a new land, with new ideas, and emerging political philosophies.</span>
