Introduction

The modern Europe was the cradle for the current vast civilization evident across the
world. Despite being bypassed by other nations, Europe contributed greatly to civilization and
the transformation that is what the modern generation regards as “modernity.” The growth of
Europe did not happen individually but rather as a holistic event that was equally contributed by
indigenous continents miles away from Europe’s boarders. The need to grow and the lack of
enough space and resources meant that Europe needed to find “space” upon which to derive what
it lacked. America provided a vast and rich land for Europe expansion and the relationship that
developed helped in molding a history that allowed for the development of social and economic
landscape that define the modern America. The differences that emerged between Europe
colonialist and Native Americans helped create a society that was economically, socially, and
politically stable to support the current European and American states.
Role of European Quest for Power on Indigenous North America
The necessity to find solution to human problems led to innovations that were historical
in conferring humanity longevity and in improving their status of life. This meant that Europeans
were able to withstand natural calamities and live longer than was previously possible. It also
meant that a society that was healthy and comfortable was able to reduce the mortality rate and
hence increase in number. As the numbers increased, so did the need to find a wider space upon
which to accommodate and support the rising population. Governments were mandated to find a
solution to the rising population and the diminishing social space. This led to the need to find
faraway lands to conquer and find resources. It is this need that led Europeans to America.

Power-Greene (2014) argues that Europeans, initially, were searching for lands that would help
decongest their homelands and resources that would help support the burgeoning population.
As Europeans entered America, they found a vast, rich, and unconquered land. To them,
it offered a promise of resources and space. It also promised an ever-ending bounty for their
motherland which was smothering under the growing population. Taylor & Foner (2002) points
out that Europeans entered America hoping to reap its benefit by conquering the land to provide
a safe haven for the motherland. This meant establishing their rule and stamping their authority
in a country that was considered uncivilized. Conquering meant establishing their social rules on
a people who lacked the technology and know-how challenging the invaders. It also meant the
establishment of economic channels that benefited the motherland. Plantations and trade sea
routes were established as they sought to create a colony that was self-sufficient and productive
to the motherland. It is these social influences that form the current cosmopolitan American
society that mostly comprises of people with European roots. Importantly, today’s American
heterogeneous society is a representation of European unique social cultures. America has grown
and become an economic power house from the basic foundation that was laid down by the
European colonizers who first set foot there aiming to create their own empires back home.
The Relationship between Native Americans and European Colonists
European colonialists perceived Native Americans as being uncivilized and wild, when
they first encountered them. The differences between the two groups was based on the
differences that existed between the two groups, in terms of authority and superiority. The
colonialists ventured into America believing that they were the rightful people meant to inhabit
the lands they had just conquered. The natives, on the other hand, believed the lands to their own
since they had been born and raised there. The European on one hand envisioned the opportunity

that these new lands possessed, while the natives perceived their lands to be sacred and hence the
entry of foreigners was sacrilege to their gods. The result of these differences was conflict and
death as each tried to protect what they regarded as their right. Wars were fought, interventions
were made, but the differences did not lead to any amicable solution at first. However, as the
European colonialist established their rule and realized civilization, the natives got a new
perspective as to the foreigners’ real intentions (Krippner-Martínez, 2003). They realized that the
foreigners had superior weapons than them and that it would only benefit them to join them and
beat them at their own game. Eventually, the Native Americans became part in the civilization
process and contributed significantly to the development of America as a super power. Today,
Native Americans continue to enjoy the right to their own lands as stipulated in the American
constitution, while accommodating the foreigners...
