The natives and europeans didn't share the lands because the europeans wanted the natives treasures and land.They wanted the land because it was good farm land and it was very healthy.Also the europeans wanted the natives richs,properties, such as food animals and etc.
i think they would of shared the land,but the europeans wanted to own it.
Do you believe that it is important to have both good and evil for our world to be in balance? That is what the Iroqouis believe. The Bible on the other hand teaches us to avoid sin and that good shall prevail evil. Ironically, both stories express how easy it is to give in to temptation and allow evil to take over. For example, when the Pilgrims first landed at Plymouth rock, it was so they would be free to practice their own religious beliefs and customs. In addition, they promised to obey laws for the general good of their colony. At first, they carried out their promise and were friendly with the Native Americans. A Pantuet Indian named Squanto taught them how to fertilize soil with fish remains and helped the Pilgrims establish relations with the Indians. Together, they established the first Thanksgiving to celebrate their harvest with peace and harmony. What caused such harmony to become non-existent? Just as Adam and Eve were awakened to the fact of good vs. evil when they ate the forbidden fruit, many American colonists fought for their own religious beliefs. However, in doing so they each thought that their own beliefs and customs were better than the others which allowed them to put power, greed, and fear ahead. So I ask you, in this situation, which one really prevailed good or evil?
The Europeans and the Natives didnt share the land because the Europenans wanted there food riches, animals land,weapons ,cloths and etc. I belive that the Natives would have shared the land but the Europeans were gready and wanted the land for only farming and building houses. They had wanted to farm there because the soil they had was so rich is was perfect for planting crops. Such as corn , squash,beans. Also the Europeans wanted the Natives gold. But they mostly wanted there land for farming. So thats why they couldnt sahre the land
The Native Americans and Europeans did not share the land because the Europeans did not like the Native American religions.The Native Americans would share land but the Europeans would not share land. They wanted land of there own. The Europeans took over the Native Americans land without asking which started war.。
People may have told you George Washington chopping down a cherry tree? A lie.
Honest Abe Lincoln walking miles to return a penny in change? A lie.
John Smith and Pocahontas hooking up? You guessed a lie you were taught these didactic untruths. Our ancestors may deserve our respect or admiration, but we should make no mistake about our settlement resulting in the destruction of Native American civilization. Through disease and war, European Americans essentially wiped them out.
The pilgrims and Wampanoag's sat down for a Thanksgiving dinner of somewhere in 1621, and less than a generation later, they joined together to decimate the Pequot. As the century went on, however, the relationship between the pilgrims and the Wampanoag frayed. As more settlers arrived (the pilgrims arrived in 1620), the demand for land increased and the European and Native American ways of life clashed. We tend to think of Native Americans as hunters and gatherers, but they also relied on agriculture. The settlers, however, had livestock, which often wandered off and trampled Native American crops, endlessly causing disputes. Both peoples also competed for fish and game, making life more difficult for the continent's original inhabitants. Massasoit, the leader of the Wampanoag, was unable to preserve a friendly relationship the new comers. The colonists became increasingly heavy-handed with the Wampanoag, and a wandering cow, trampling Native American crops, allegedly set off a war that killed 1 out of 10 of the inhabitants in New England.
By the 1670's, the colonists had pushed most of the existing Native American tribes into King Philip's War. The tribes succeeded at first, but because they subsisted, in part on crops, and couldn't plant and tend them, they were driven to the brink of starvation. Although war spread up the New England coast to Portland and across Massachusetts and Connecticut, the Indians eventually lost out due to illness and starvation. Although many of the details are lost to history, many people involved in King Philip's War left their mark in our area. Elizur Holyoke, after whom the city was named, died defending Springfield. Turner's Falls is named for Captain
William Turner who led a massacre of Indians at the falls and died at that spot. King Philip, whose actual name is Metacomet .King Philip's stockade in Longmeadow had nothing to do with the Metacomet himself, but was named after him, perhaps because one of the town's early settlers was killed walking to church near that spot.
Feeling guilty about our past won't change it. But when we sit down to Thanksgiving dinner and give thanks for our families and country, we might also say a prayer for all those who died, the soldiers and the innocent bystanders.
The similarity is that both texts stated that the ruler or God created Earth. From thanksgiving in 1620 to King Phillip's war in 1670, the slip from collaboration to conflict because the people wanted more land and the right to rule of a governor chosen by the king. This is why Thanksgiving in 1620 to King Philip's War in 1670, Why the slip from collaboration to conflict.
The Natives and the Europeans didn't share the land with each other because the Europeans wanted more land. They wanted the Natives land too and they did. They wanted every thing from the Natives for example there treasure like gold and valuable stuff. They wanted more land so they could plant crops and plants. They wanted too much land so they can have more food. This is why they didn't share the land with each other.

Did you ever hear that the Native Americans and the Europeans didn't share land? Everything was perfect, the Native Americans had everything, crops, riches, animals, ect. But then the Europeans came in, they wanted the land.
Well, if your thinking, that the Native Americans just offered all the land to them, and said "here you go..its all yours!" Well, your wrong, because they weren't going to give off their land. So, this is why they didn't share land.
----------------------------------
One reason that the land was not shared between the Natives and Europeans was because they were two different cultures.They did not get along.The Natives didnt kill animals just to kill them, they used them for their everyday life.On the other hand the Europeans used the animals for profit, they got money out of them.The Natives respected the land , while the Europeans abbused the land.That naturally led to a dislike for one another.This is why the Natives and Europeans did not share the land.
The Europeans didn't want to share land with the Native Americans because they tough that they weren't smart to understand. The Europeans also wanted fortune like gold by concurring the Native Americans.
The Native and Europeans didn't share lands together because Europeans took all the Natives equipments. Also, they don't like being fair. They like to own their own lands,have their own plants and animal.
The native Americans did not give their land to Europeans by trade or anything else. They were forced by the Europeans. The Europeans took their land because they wanted gold and more land. They also wanted the rich environment, crops, and animals. When the first pilgrims came they had their first thanksgiving and everything was at peace. The native Indians taught them many stuff. Then suddenly the Europeans attacked. Everyone started to fight and go to war. This is why from thanksgiving in 1620 to King Philips war in 1670 is the slip fom collaboration to conflict. Also this is why they didn’t share land.
The Native Americans and the Europeans didn't share the land because the Europeans wanted to take all the "items" that the natives had. When the Europeans came, the natives we're very nice to them and offered them food and they "bartered" with each-other. "3 moons later" the Europeans came again and they didn't want to barter anymore... this time they wanted to slay them and take their riches. They we're remorseless and didn't give a single care. The Europeans did a very disgusting act back then. They didn't share their land, but sometimes natives had no choice because of Europeans hunger for their riches.
The Europeans and the Natives didnt share the land because the Europenans wanted there land,gold,clothes,and weapons.The Eurpoeans took there land. Also they didnt like each other because they came from different places
The Native Americans and Europeans did not share land because they both had different gods and beliefs in their gods. For instance the Europeans god was gold. They would kill for gold; die for gold, and put others lives in danger for gold. Natives on the other hand, had one god and he was the creator of all men. They would sacrifice for him, but would not kill, die, or harm others for him. Also, all the Europeans wanted was gold, clothes, weapons, and most importantly, land. The Europeans conquered the Native Americans lands because of the weapons they owned and because of their greed for land. And last but not least neither the Natives nor Europeans could stand the thought of sharing land with someone from a different country.
The natives and europeans didn't share each others land because the europeans wanted the natives treasures and land, and the native americans didnt want to give it to them. The europeans wanted the native americans land because they beleived that it was healthy and rich. If the europeans weren't to greedy I think that the native americans would have given it to them. Also the native americans didnt share their land because all the europeans wanted was the 'indians' property and many other items like animals cloth-clothes, food, land, riches, etc. That's why I think that the Europeans and Natives didnt want to share their land with each other.
The Europeans and natives don't want to share the same land for many reasons. One of the reason they don't want to share land is because the Europeans wanted the natives treasure. They also wanted their food,, animals, cloths, land weapons crops, and cloths. The natives were willing to share but the Europeans were to greedy. The Europeans took the land by will. Also they didn't share the land because they both didn't get along also they didn't have the same religion.
the reason the Europeans don't want to share the land with the natives is because the Europeans are to greedy. They wanted to use the land for crops since the land was rich. They wanted all of the natives valuables. The natives were willing to share but the Europeans were to greedy. Also the Europeans didn't like the natives religion so they didn't get along.
The Native Americans and the Europeans didn’t share the land because the Europeans wanted the Natives treasure. But they also thought that the Natives cultures were weird and unusual. The Natives would share the land but since the Europeans wanted all the land to them self. So in the end the Europeans went to war with the Native Americans. This is why the Native Americans and Europeans didn’t share the land.
Europeans didnt want to share the land because it was good farm land and it was very healthy.Europeans wanted to be the best ones. They would never share the land with Natives beacause they also wanted the Natives treasure, wealth, food and etc.But do you think Natives will accept that? Nooooo. Thats how the war started.Natives were good people but Europeans think they should have everything theyre way.
The natives and the Europeans didn't share the land with eachother because the europeans wanted cloths weapons and treasures. Also the Europeans didn't like the Natives Religion. I believe that it is like if a child has alot of candy from halloween, in most cases that child does not wanna share their candy and that kind of realates to the Europeans and Natives situation.
The natives and Europeans didn’t want to share land because the Europeans wanted to drive the natives from their land. They were nice, the natives helped the Europeans out because winter was coming and they were not doing that well. Then they started taking advantage of the natives, and since the Europeans land was not right for crops to grow but the natives’ land was perfect for growing crops. Thus the only way to get more people to come, the Europeans needed more land and needed land that is perfect for growing. That is why the natives and Europeans didn’t want to share land.
Native American did now want to share their land with the Europeans because of the difference in customs and culturalization. Native Americans were more cultural with respects to preserving their land and they also believe that property ownership should belong to individual who work the land. Most Native American were farmer who grew crops such as rice, wheat, corn etc. European interest in land wereas to obtain new colonies and searching for wealthy empire like those of the Aztez amd Inca. European were interested about the riches they can get such as gold and silver and claiming territories. The Natives Americans believes that the land should be preserved for future generation. They both had different religious believes and the way of thinking was somewhat the same when it came to trading goods but living together was different therefore it made it difficult for them to agree on certain matters, but when it cames to claiming property and trading goods and other material items with each other they were fine.
The Natives would have probably shared the land. After all, America is pretty big. When the Europeans came, they thought that sharing would be possible. At first, everything was going good. The Natives taught the Europeans how to survive in this new enviornment. The Europeans had a good relationship with them. But then, the Europeans started wanting more. They had recieved gifts of gold from the Natives. Saw how wealthy they were. Noticed how healthy and fertile the soil was, perfect for growing crops. Natives were probably not very greedy. They had lived as warriors, shared when there was little of something like food or water. However, Europeans lived in civilization. There homes were stationary, not like the natives. You could get food at whenever, either with your money or begging for it, which was much easier then hunting for it. In other words, The Europeans enviornment was much more nurtured then the Natives. So with that, they became greedy and would want to take and have anything that has value. In other words, the land of the Natives.
