Throughout the seventeenth century, conflict between Europeans and Native Americans was rampant and constant. As more and more Europeans migrated to America, violence became increasingly consistent. This seemingly institutionalized pattern of conflict begs a question: Was conflict between Europeans and Native Americans inevitable? Kevin Kenny and Cynthia J.

Do they believe that the black belt is their only safe space in Chicago in a contemporary setting given the remaining large number of blacks on the Southside today?
