Land Assault


            The desire for land created a lot of conflicts with the Indians. If we start at the beginning, the Indians did not even want to settlers to be in what is now called America. When the Indians started to understand that the colonists were not going o go away, they thought that they might be able to share some of the land with them. It did not really work out the way that they were expecting it to.
             The colonists thought that all of the land should be theirs. For kind of the same reason the Indians did, they thought to share the land also. When towns and villages started growing more and more, the colonists wanted to expand their communities. Since the settlers were now growing so fast and taking so much land, there was a shortage of land and the Indians were kind of scared or frightened that maybe the colonists were finally planning to take over. This led to conflicts over land rights, Indian policy, law and order, and political representation. From all of these events, came the outcome of the fighting between the Indians and the settlers over land.
             For a lot of the same reasons the Indians and the colonists were going at it, the colonists themselves started to fight. Britain and France started to fight over land in North America. The different states started to fight over land that was between them because they wanted more land for themselves so more people would be able to and would want to live there. There fighting was sometimes between the different types of settlers. For example, the Scottish-Irish migrants along the frontier and the Quaker political establishment stirred violence and nearly led to civil war. This type of thing also led to frontier rebellions in North Carolina and South Carolina.
