How did the arrival of europeans most strongly affect the native peoples of the americas?

The arrival of Europeans to the Americas after their discovery by Christopher Columbus in 1492 implied a series of radical changes in the lives of the natives.

The natives, until that time, had remained isolated against European civilizations: their only contact was with other native groups, with whom they shared social, cultural and even physical characteristics. The arrival of the Europeans implied a break in this regard, as it was the first contact with a group that was absolutely different from the American Indian groups.

Once the colonization of the continent by the Europeans had been arranged, a period of suffering began for the Native Americans. This period was marked by the wars of conquest, in which the Europeans prevailed for having more advanced weapons; diseases, since the arrival of Europeans caused large outbreaks of smallpox within native populations; and finally slavery, since the defeated natives were taken as slaves within the encomienda system, forced to work the lands that were once theirs.

“a modest proposal”

after the civil war, and with the termination of slavery, the south was faced with a big problem; what was supposed to happen and how they were supposed to deal with the freedom and the rights that black people and freed slaves had gained as a result of the north defeating the south and forcing the end of slavery. first, most, if not all, of the workforce of the south came from slaves and they did not have an option to replace the loss of said workforce. second, particularly in the south, people were convinced that black people were lesser, less intelligent, less capable and less smart than whites. this posed a huge problem for them. also, southerners were faced with another issue; freed slaves now had a say in how their lives would be lived and the right to politically choose the way they would be governed. people in the south did not want to accept this, none of this and this opposition and the conflicts that arose from it, not to mention the afereffects of the war, forced the congress of the time to enact and enforce the reconstruction plans that had been proposed by president andrew johnson.
