did pilgrims kill indians?

I'm assuming that by "pilgrims" you mean the small group of English settlers who landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620. The answer is, that mostly they were on pretty good terms with the Indians for quite a few years, but there were many other groups of English settlers who came to New England in the following years, and eventually in 1675 there was an out and out war between the settlers and indians and thousands were killed on each side. This is called King Phillip's War and you can easily get lots of info about it online.

Think: Cherokee, Chippawa, Lenape, Seminole, Chocktau...all indigenous tribes in our country, all pushed out and massacred for the same reason the aborrigionies and the Indians got some too. We're greedy land bastards.

native Americans died from the same things as other cultures.  use your imagination.  . They had added pressure of course from Europeans stealing their land and sending them off to reservations in the middle of nowhere.  Look up 'trails of tears' in an encyclopedia.  When they were thrown off their lands many died from disease, exhaustion and just pure sadness as not only did they lose their homeland but also their way of life. i.e. tribes in the north east , who farmed and fished were moved to the desert, where they could not pursue their old way of life.  The land they were moved to could not sustain them and although the government allocated money and food these were often stolen - often by the people who were supposed to deliver them.

Hmmmm. . .Interesting question.\n\nNo, he's not responsible for mass murder.\n\nHe is responsible for being one of the first in a wave of Europeans who would decimate the Indian tribes through communicable disease.\n\nSo was Columbus's voyage to the New World responsible for the deaths of many, many people?  Yes, without a doubt.\n\nDid Columbus murder them?  No.

because they are programed from schools not to question what authorities teach them! Thanksgiving was originally a clebration of a massacure by the Pilgrams of Indian people! You wont find that in the history books, nor that Custer was tresppassing and in violation of the treaty of 1868 when he invaded a foregion country known as The Great Sioux Nation. So we dressed him up in a fine arrow shirt! I think he got the point! His body contrairy to popular belief was not left alone he was cut up in to pieces and scattered! He died at the hands of those he loved to kill, our women and children finished him off! Just a little known fact.

Go to the library and take out a children's book on "The First Thanksgiving" between the indians and the pilgrims.\n\nIt's the way they first made friends!!!!   The indians invited the english to their bountiful "harvest".

its an american holiday celebrating the pilgrims and indians gathering to share a meal after a bountiful summer, the indians, or native americans, taught the settlers how to hunt game in this country and how to grow corn, squash and beans and how to preserve them to last through the winter so they wouldnt starve, the pilgrims landed in the north east and it gets quite cold and snowy there in winter, they gave thanks to the Indians for their help and thanked their god that they had the help of the native peoples to help them survive.

Horrible things were done both to Native Americans and Black people. Black people were kidnapped in the most horrible ways, separated from their land and family only to be treated like animals and be slaves. \nLike you said, Native Americans were treated horrible too. Not just by taking away their children. They were also killed by white people who came to the "New World". \nThis is not a competition. The pain and suffering that one group went through, does not belittle the pain and suffering the other group went through. Horrible things were done, and we should all be aware that horrible things are still being done all over the world to people, just because they belong to a certain ethnicity or religion. We should all practice tolerance. We should all do our best to make sure these kinds of things do not happen again.

It makes me sick inside when I think of that subject. I actually had a very charismatic History Teacher, he informed us when our books were trying to brainwash us. What is truly sad is that white people didn't stop with the Indians. They oppressed many cultures. Don't worry though. Our time here on earth isn't judged in groups. We all face that alone.

The Pilgrims founded Plymouth Colony.

God killed them, he killed lots of people, just not directly. If you don't believe me, look at the flood, Sodom, etc.\nGod did not kill his children directly, but if God is all-powerful he could have stopped it, but he chose not too. Call it a master plan.

First, probably no turkey. That was established by poultry farmers in the early 20th century to sell more turkey. No football - natch......And more than likely, the native Americans invited the pilgrims to feast with them. The first loads of Europeans to arrive here starved and froze to death. They had no idea about the radical climate changes here and knew squat about growing food that would survive on this soil. They were clueless and it was the natives that taught them how to hunt, fish, farm, and survive.

At first, the Native Americans were probably curious.  While some tribes might have been prone to instigating trouble - many other tribes might have been open to the idea of a new group of individuals living in harmony beside them.\n\nWhat they found was group of people with very little respect for the land and its native people.  The English settlers (I'm refering to the Pilgrims up here in MA) weren't nice people and they weren't interested in cultivating meaninful relationships with natives unless it could provide them with useful knowledge to farm or hunt.  Once the Native Americans learned of the true nature of the colonizing English I'm sure they became weary of their presence.  Wars broke out - remember?  \n\nWere the English right to enter a territory that was already being lived in by others and trying to ungratefully utilize resources?  Would you want someone barging into your backyard and say "Hi I'm going to live here now - even though you've work hard your entire life for this little plot of land in the universe...oh and I'm gonna need some food, want to go grocery shopping for me?" \n\nI think you'd get rather ticked off.\n\n**\nKit4info:  You would like ME to learn MY American history?  If you are so ignorant to the treatment of the Native Americans by English settlers then you should not be responding to this question.  Research King Phillip’s War (1675-1676).  The cause of this war was due to what I said previously: mistreatment of the Natives.   Specifically: disrespect of Natives and continued expansion of the settlers.  The war involved the Wampanoag, Iroquois and Mohicans (western territories), Narragansett, Podunk,  and Nipmuck to name a few.  When war broke out most Natives sided with Phillip, a few who had converted to Christianity fought with the English, others were neutral.  Read this excerpt: \n\n “King Philip’s War was one of the bloodiest and most costly in the history of America. One in ten soldiers on both sides was injured or killed. It took many years for Plymouth and the other colonies to recover from damage to property\nThe outcome of King Philip’s War was devastating to the traditional way of life for Native People in New England. Hundreds of Natives who fought with Philip were sold into slavery abroad. Others, especially women and children, were forced to become servants locally. As the traditional base of existence changed due to the Colonists’ victory, the Wampanoag and other local Native communities had to adapt certain aspects of their culture in order to survive.”  \n\nDid I say that I think we should all leave because this land we live upon was stolen?  No – so what are you talking about “dinosaurs” for?  I am not “parroting” anything I am stating historical facts, my dear:  The Puritan settlers and their leaders were not nice people – not the innocents seeking religious freedom that you seem to think.  The majority of Native American tribes up here were NOT happy with what was happening around and did not like these intruders, although they tried to live beside them for several years, they quickly grew weary of their presence.  That was the question I read and that was what I answered.  No need to speak so condescendingly in order to gain a sense of authority because your argument is unfounded, illogical and worthless.  To deny any of these facts would be absurd; have you EVER taken an early American history class?  Someone was denied a school fieldtrip to Plimoth Plantation as a child and it shows.

mmmWell they lived in North America for 10's of 1000's of years..White Christian puritans show up, rape, murder, and steal everything they had, rounded them up like animals and imprisoned them on reservations and stripped them of their culture and pride.. If another country came in and did that to us, we'd cry foul..call it war crimes, say it was a terrible.. yet in the answers I already see the same mentality that guards and reveres "rape, murder an theft" dearly...They are owed MUCH more than they are receiving from the US government.. I had nothing to do with what happened. Our family came over in 1914 from Scotland. But I understand what happened to them England once did that to Scotland, but we fought back.. and won.\n  It is a shame the Indians didn't. Perhaps the Americas would still be pristine wilderness instead of a living he11 of smoke, steel and concrete..a jungle full of cold blooded killers,infidels and indifference..Think about it. for tens of thousands of years they lived in peace and harmony with nature in good health living long lives..and in around 400 years we have destroyed nearly all of it.
