Who's to Blame?
At the end of The Double Life of Pocahontas, the author tells us that the Native Americans never really had a chance of saving their land and keeping peace with the Jamestown settlers.
The Jamestown settlers were not the only people to have conflict with Native American tribes in North America. Thinking about what we've learned in social studies and the books we've read together, answer the following questions:
1. Why was there so much conflict between Native Americans and Europeans?
2. Who is most to blame for the conflict that occurred? Why? Be specific!
3. What could the Native Americans or Europeans done differently so that conflict didn't happen?
Remember that your paragraph needs to include an introduction sentence and a conclusion sentence.
"In the long run, the Indians didn't stand a chance. They were pushed back and pushed back until no room was left for them."
-Jean Fritz, The Double Life of Pocahontas
