Manifest Destiny And Ethnocentrism

Manifest Destiny and Ethnocentrism

1. There were different types of tribes, languages, habitats, dress code, skin tones, diet depending on location, and different beliefs about God where you come from.
2. The Native Americans shared land, furs, planting techniques and food such as corn, beans, and squash.
3. For the Europeans it was common to buy and sell land, and could be own by a person with a legal document such as a title.
4. Whites believed that God wanted them to own/ control all of the land from coast to coast regardless of what the other cultures believed in or wanted.
5. I think the American history would've been different if Philip or Tecumseh had no private property, no imperialism toward tribes, and different languages.
