Much of this was subsequently lost and, as a result, the history of Native Americans is often presented as a morality tale. White Americans, headed by the federal government, were the âbad guysâ, cheating Indians out of their land and resources.
The British thought of the Native Americans as a problem from the start and felt that they should leave the land to the British. They did their best to kill them or drive them out of their native areas.The Spanish were even worse.
