Diversity Among The Ages

Diversity has caused problems ever since the first Europeans landed in the West Indies and up in till present day. Every Meeting between different races, different cultures, and different skin colors has made people see diversity among each other.
Diversity has caused people to kill, to conquer, and to destroy. The fact that diversity is apart of the  United States of America has made this country as great as it is today.
      Diversity in America started  in 1492 between the newly arriving Spaniards and the native Americans. When the natives saw these towering men they thought of them as gods for they had light skin and thundering beast called Horses. But the Europeans didn’t not think of these people as threats because they had no advance weapons or technologies. From the Movie we watched called “1492” we saw what it  was like for the Native Americans .They were made slaves and had to give all their gold to the Spaniards.  The diversity of the white man thriving for gold and the natives in no need of gold  and of the diversty of the  whites being  immune to diseases that theIndians were not immune to . This caused a great problem  for the Indians because they had gold the Spaniards wanted and they were not immune to deadly diseases such as small pox and syphilis. Because of the diversity between these two different cultures one  cause death and annihilation for one side and wealth and land for another.
     This diversity between Europeans and native Indians also continued into the colonial times, but it also include a group of people that did not want to come to the ‘New World ’ .Africans. One of the major problems of this time was the taking of Indian land over and over again. With the more people migrating every year, there was a need for more land. but the people who own this land was the Indians. The Indians were peaceful with the whites as long as they both had enough room to live but when that became a problem  The men fought each other killing and driving back the natives. In the book it says between 1600 and 1675 the total number of native Americans dropped form 70,000 to less than 12,000, and a chief clearly described what occurred in the years since the land was colonized by the Europeans (in short)” Our father had plenty of deer and plenty of turkeys to fill the woods before the white man came , now the trees are cut ,the grass is gone, and the animals have been killed....we will starve.” The enslavement of the Africans and the bringing them to the new world  by the boat load  was so horrific  it caused many of the black slaves to jump off the boat to drowned rather than face years of torment. By 1750’s over 40% of the population of Virginia was enslaved blacks. The blacks were more accustomed  to a totally different way of life, a way of life that was of the safari’s of Africa with little technological advances. The white man thought of the blacks as less the a man and not civilized. Also among the colonies people were diversified by the religion they practiced such of examples are Puritans, Protestants and Catholics. William Penn  was given land to by Charles II. He turned the land into a “Religious Experiment”. In which people from all over the world flock to live the ion religous freedom. The major religious belief was mostly Quakers in what is Now Pennsylvania. Some religions believed in strict belief in the bible others ,and some  separated off an believed in more of a family community. One example of  the church be a large part of the community is the Salem witch trials in which we saw a movie and read a paper on it. The Salem witch trials came about because of a women who was convicted of being a witch when she was about to be burned she  said that there was more of here kind out there and that they were every where. Well this caused a panic which people started accusing everyone else to be a witch and  then when it finally came around and it got back to the reverend who started the witch hunts .
