Theory the settlers believed the land they arrive to belonged to them and not the native people so they had a right to be on that land and the native people could be erased. Right, and that is a historical product. There may be some people who came to north america from europe or elsewhere with the idea in th

We are talking about the french, the dutch, the spanish, the english, and occasionally some other powers. Those empires were in motion. Theyre being created in the period we are talking abou
