HE establishment of colonies is often conducive to the welfare of a nation. They serve as outlets for its surplus population, create new markets and demands for its products and manufactures, and add to its glories that of increased dominion. Hence it was that the three great nations of Europe - England, France, and Spain-encouraged emigration to the New World. Man, in his savage state, requires a larger area of territory, for his subsistence, than when civilized. Depending for food Conflicting Claims. The Spanish power was established, as we have seen, in the southern part of North America, the territorial claims of Spain extending northward indefinitely. The claims of France embraced Canada and the Mississippi Valley from the Alleghanies westward. England claimed all that region of the continent bordering upon the Atlantic, and lying between the French possessions on the north and those of the Spanish on the south, and extending from ocean to ocean. Boundaries thus far were undetermined and claims conflicted. A struggle for supremacy was inevitable. The title of the Indian, by original possession, to the territory claimed, was taken into no sideration. con upon the products of the chase, he finds it necessary to change his place of abode from time to time. The narrowing of his hunting grounds is followed by a scarcity of game. Hence the Indians beheld with alarm great numbers of whites coming to their shores, intruding upon their domain, and appropriating their territory. It was not long before they manifested their hostility. Indian Hostility. The English colonies suffered most severely from Indian hostility. Their carly history is filled with revengeful deeds, conflicts and bloody massacres. There was a marked contrast between the treat:nent of the Indian by the French and by the English. The former adapted themselves to his manners and customs, and so entered into the spirit of his everyday life that they won their way to his heart, and secured his friendship. Their objects were trade and dominion, and their occupancy interfered but little with his natural rights. The English, on the other hand, cov eted his land, and wished to be rid of his presence. The few that came first inspired no alarm. Powhattan in Virginia, sought to restrain his subjects by saying, "Let them alone; they harm you not; they but take a little land." Massasoit, in Massachusetts, offered no objection against the landing of the Pilgrims, and even entered into an alliance with them. Little did either chieftain know that these few were to be followed by num bers, and that against the white tide, soon to sweep upon them, all savage valor, treachery, and treaty were to avail little; and that in its onsweep was to be their race's doom. The marriage of Pocahontas, daughter of Powhattan, to the English John Rolfe, established a certain degree of friendliness between the whites and Indians of Virginia. But OPITCHAPAN, the successor of the old chief, possessed little strength of character, and the control of affairs soon fell to OPECANCANOUGH, an inveterate foe to the English. This chief lost no time in inciting his warriors to hostility, and secretly set about the destruction of the settlers. A friendly intercourse was maintained up to the last moment, and, all unsuspected, the blow fell (1622). Planta tions were surprised and three hundred and forty-nine settlers were put to death. Jamestown, however, escaped, timely warning having been given to it by an Indian convert. A terrible war followed this massacre. The number of the colonists was reduced from four thousand to twenty-five hundred, and the settlements and plantations, from eighty to |
