There was severe devastation of what was perceived as Indian Territory in the Americas. Various acts signified that struggle, including the Indian Removal Act and the Middle Passage. One key player in the struggle that particularly stood out was a Portuguese named Bartolomé de Las Casas. As a fundamental part of human freedom, Bartolomé de Las Casas championed the liberty of thinking and belief. He believed that Indians had the freedom to freely listen to gospel preaching and choose whether or not to accept Christianity. Like all others, he opined that the Christian faith could not be imposed through force (Clark and Nancy 92).
From the fall of the Roman Empire in the fifth century through the Renaissance, the middle Ages were born, and they represent a period in European history. The middle ages were marked by the advent of Architectural elements, the emergence of new religions, and the spread of education and the university. It was also known as the medieval civilization, and it reached its pinnacle in the 13th century. Religion, especially the church, influenced literary culture, resulting in the St. Thomas Aquinas' Scholasticism. (Clark and Nancy 31).
The Europeans went to the extent of coming up with the Indian Removal Act was assented to by President Andrew Jackson and signed into law on May 28, 1830. The act allowed him to transfer Territory west of the Mississippi in return for Indian holdings inside existing state limits (Clark and Nancy 220). While a few tribes relocated quietly, many others opposed the strategy. In response to the question on whoever built America, it would be prudent to say that the nation was created by the enslaved people who offered free labor and endured torture to ensure that its economy stood. Despite the Europeans initiating the birth and growth of the American nation, they had little input in the labor market. Enslaved Africans were the majority of workers who ensured that the nation’s coffers got filled with the necessary resources.

Sierra Leone positioned itself as the salvation of Free Blacks. The Blacks who moved to the nation were loyalists who did not find the living conditions in slavery favorable. They are likely to have been a part of the Amistad Rebellion - a mutiny held by an African rice farmer in an American slave ship in 1839 (Buba 00:02:20 - 00:02:25). The Africans had been captured forcefully from West Africa when slave activities were being condemned in the United States. Upon reaching the Americas, the would-be enslaved Africans got the backing of an abolitionist movement that helped them hold a court case against the move. The case pitted a former U.S. president against the incumbent at the time. Luckily, the Africans won the case in which they were fighting for their freedom and wanted to be left to occupy their African lands and not forcibly taken into the U.S. (Buba 00:39:00 – 00:46:00). The importation of enslaved people into the Americas had been abolished, even though slave-related activities remained legal in certain areas.
Some European slave traders opted to disguise themselves and continue with the business despite the abolitionist laws. Ped...
