George Washington thought that the Native Americans were an equal but inferior race and designed a six step plan to civilize the Native Americans. In my opinion, this occured because the Native Americans really had no central governmental figure to stop the colonization. Akin to the tribes of Umuofia in Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart the Native Americans were a mottly bunch of little tribes that really had no chance against a central power like the newly formed United States of America. Here's my source: Remini, Robert. ""The Reform Begins"". Andrew Jackson. History Book Club. p. 201.

I could just about get a college degree by reading your blogs, Ben, they are so informative! Love, Grandma Jan
you should read the book 'george washington' [i think that is it]. it deals with his life when he was leading troops. gives a real sense of life then and what he was like. very indecisive and not the man that one would think of as 'father of the country'.
SHADESLAYER....HOW CAN YOU BE EQUAL BUT INFERIOR?!?!?!?!
