There Goes the Neighborhood

A long time ago in a state far away, strangers arrived on boats to America.  At first, the natives were nervous of the newcomers and didn't know how to act.  That was their first mistake.  When the explorers and newcomers first met the "Indians" they thought the Native Americans were weak and easy to conquer.  The only problem that the Native Americans had were that they trusted the explorers too much.  If the Native Americans would've known what the explorers intent was, we'd have a whole different story.  As the natives opened up to the foreigners, the foreigners took action while the natives were unprepared.  This resulted in the natives getting driven out of their homeland and our history being the way it is.

  1. Very interesting, informative and well written. Only advice I have is to try and consider the perspective of the Indians a little more. Once again, well done.

  2. The facts in your piece are accurate and interesting, but if you changed it I would suggest to add a part about your point of view, being a native of America. Good job!

  4. This was very well written! I wish you would've added different perspectives instead of just factual information.
