Debate:Was the European colonization of the Americas good for the native people? (view source)
Revision as of 06:30, July 26, 2007

I don't really see how one could argue otherwise. The Europeans taught the Indians that it was wrong to kill each other in the name of their false gods, and taught them Christianity. It is unfortunate that many were killed by diseases, but at least their souls were saved. And I agree with Conservateur's point that the whites improved their living conditions immensely.

It's good thing we killed them in the name of our own god instead of letting them kill each other int he name of their false gods. And you're right...we did improve their living conditions immensely, for both of them that were left anyway.
