There Goes the Neighborhood

In the perspective of the American Indians when the explorers first arrived on the land, it was probably a lot of shock an awe. They came in on big ships with metal weapons and armor, things the Indians had never seen before. Some were probably afraid of these men but some were probably welcoming because they seemed like more advanced beings than they were. They had wood spikes as weapons and canoes as boats. However, this was likely to have changed after the explorers used the Indians for resources and slaves as they fought back against the explorers who captured and imprisoned them. This was not the way to go however, as the explorers soon followed with a counter attack of their own killing a lot of Indians and taking more as servants. In modern times now two communities coming together bring two new cultures and show what its like in another persons culture. Hardships that may occur would be a clash of which group is better, which has a better religion, better culture, and just difficulty coming together as one.
