The colonist came to the New World they need a lot of things from the Indians such as food and survival. The Indians were loyal and kind, and helped the colonist with their needs. When the colonist was able to stand on their own without the Indians they respected the Indians rights, so they said, and agreed to the treaties but the colonist always put their needs before the Indians rules, even if it meant breaking treaties. As the colonist continued to break treaties, and new policy was formed called the Albany Plan of Union stating that the only one who could settle Indian treaties, trade with the Indians, declare war and make peace was the government of British. This all happened after the Revolutionary war. (Stated in document A). These new …show more content…

To the Americans the Indians were enemies because the Indians sided with the British.(Stated in Document G).
