    About this ebook

    For centuries, American descendants of Europeans enacted purposed plans for ridding themselves of what they saw as problems created by Native Americans. Some of these plans were intended to wipe out Native Americans entirely while some others were meant to curtail efforts of Native Americans, push them away, keep them in controlled environments, completely subjugated, while forcing them to cede nearly all of their lands, at the most minimal of prices, keeping them forever subservient to and dependent upon their white "masters."

    Several short papers contained herein discuss some of the pandemic and legal problems faced early on, while the longest work, "Today's Racism was Yesterday's Protectionism," examines how the policies for assimilation, designed and enacted by Thomas Jefferson, sought to completely transform forever all customs, beliefs, and lifestyles of all Native Americans, to forever "whiten them."

      The Red Man’s Burden

      We lost our lands

      To unseen hands

      To never know again

      The life, the love

      Of one another

      The Earth, the hunt,

      Our soul, our Mother

      Only now, empty man

      We wash ourselves

      In ancestors’ blood

      No way back

      But now to die

      In the white man's flood

      And to be buried

      In snow and mud

      We have no home

      But what the white man made,

      To live alone

      And die in a place

      Where there is no shade

      Our Mother is dying

      Our children are crying,

      And it would not be this way

      If not for the lying

      We accepted,

      Though trying,

      We were not protected,

      And many are denying

      That they are infected

      With the disease of

      Heritage neglected

      That has nearly gone away

      Role of Disease in Settlement of British North America

      Most settlers that came to British North America were very poor. There is a theory that half or more of all settlers that came to British North America were indentured servants or redemptioners. Because of being so poor, many had to cross the Atlantic Ocean on very dingy, disease-laden ships. Once arriving, many were immediately pressed into service as indentured servants, or when the redemption system began, pressed into service very shortly after arrival. Having to serve for three to seven years, sometimes more if a person ran away, got pregnant, or in some other way violated their contract, these servants were given very poor accommodations and were very susceptible to rampant diseases. Many of them died not long into their term(s) of service, from overwork or these diseases.

      Diseases spread like wildfire, as medicine was still primitive, and there was little access to what treatment(s)
