*you can use C1 & E1 or C2 & E2 for an answer; both would be too much*
*hope this could help and I apologize if this is too long to read. have a good day and I hope you can get an easy 100 on this assignment*
R: The American Indians were impacted by European exploration by...
A: ...having their personal beliefs changed, many Indians were infected by diseases from Europeans, such as Spain and England, and many male Indians were forced to work for European colonists.
C1: According to the text, it states, "Some cultural aspects of their way of life, political structure and religion, changed forever. The population of American Indians was severely weakened by rapidly spreading diseases." (lines 10-12)
C2: For another instance, the author writes, "...unmarried men were taken from their homes to labor in the missions. Without this important member of the household available to hunt and farm for the tribe, the tribal structure was weakened." (lines 21-23)
E1: The first piece of evidence is vaguely important as it shows that many natives whose opinions and beliefs were all different are suddenly forced into only one belief due to European colonization. The natives had suddenly been caught in European diseases and infections which caused many native tribes to die out. This shows that it's connected to the question as it shows that Indians were majorly devastated and killed by the European colonization for profit, gold, and new resources.
E2: The second piece of evidence is principally important as this shows that many strong native Indians who took care of their tribes are suddenly dragged away from their home and forced to work with the Europeans for profit. Without them, the tribe will fall apart economically. This shows that many Europeans simply did not care for how the natives felt about this and only wanted to profit for themselves with no remorse. This shows that it's connected to the question as it shows that Indian tribes were destroyed, ruined, economically damaged, and couldn't repair themselves as the Europeans would later use them for slavery.
