It was not long before famine invaded their land. Diseases began to spread and day in day out. A great number of them died in the hands of small pox having no resistance and immunity to these diseases strange to them and so freely passed to them by the Europeans. The Europeans began to force them into labour and daily they lost their lives and their numbers began to dwindle drastically. They had no prior knowledge of political and economic order and the Europeans crippled their land using their ignorance as a weapon. They were an extremely disunited people. How then could they form a resistance in disarray? They shared things freely amongst themselves. They were comfortable until the European adventurers came. They were not prepared. With joy and acceptance they took them in. Enthralled by their level of civilization and the things they had created with the abilities they lacked by themselves. They brought in cannon, steel knives, swords, brass kettle, muzzle loader, mirrors, hawk bells and they traded with them. They brought the concept of business to the Indians and they could not keep up. The adventurers began to cause destruction.
