1) Discuss the nature of early relations between the Native Americans and the Euro-Americans. What were the religious factors that contributed to these relations and how did they do so?
Habitually the discussion of race in early American history has relied upon a sequence of interweaved dichotomies of ethnicity, culture, and inherent. Legacy of these twofold remain with us today, principally in the teaching today. It has been clear than in halting and incomplete incorporation of Native American became one of many minorities in American state. Many Native American tribes inhabited the territory that became the State of Illinois. As most Native Americans relied upon a mixture of hunting, agriculture and gathering for their subsistence. They embrace the religious beliefs quite unlike the European settlers who were embracing Christianity they brought to North American.
