The very brief relation of the devastation of the indies

What would be if there were two groups of people in this world?
 Just two.
One group is the superior one. They can do whatever they want to do, in a country that is not even theirs. The other group is kept as slaves to work and work until they die. And that is meant literally.
Imagine you would sit at home just doing all the things you do everyday and suddenly there would be men kicking in the door and just take over your life, make it their life. They can do whatever they want to do with your life.
It sounds kind of ridiculous but  it is nearly the same as it happened before. Not just once. Not twice. It had happened often in History. One example of this is the suppression and devastation of the Indies in this country hundred of years ago.
It is very important to know about this excerpt and also to read it. What happened to this people still happens today. Not in the same way. There is no Spanish man on a horse that tries to stab you to death with his sword but still people get suppressed, hurt, beaten or even killed just because they have a special sex or race. People try to bring others down because they feel better. More Superior and just allowed to do that and that is the reason why it is so important to read this excerpt.
It is not just about suppression today but first to get what happened earlier. What did those people do and why did they something that is so inhuman? How did it all affected the United States today? That is still the main reason and the biggest problem: It is still going on today.

When Columbus wanted to travel to India in 1492 everything started. He landed in America as all of you know and so he called those people Indians based on the thoughts he was in India. About five yeas after that English people came to Newfoundland and the Spanish people settled in Florida. That was the reason everything started. While the Native Americans wanted to help Europeans with using the nature in the right way, the Europeans used it wrong and tried to get more land from the Natives. They brought diseases and so a lot of Natives died because of that.
A lot of the Natives tried to fight against it but the arms of the Europeans were just too strong so they didn't have any chance to win.
To be contrary a lot of Indians died and the Spanish people made a pact. For every Spanish person get killed by a Native, the Spanish will kill a hundred Natives. So as you can tell it ended that a lot of Indians died and they lost a big amount of land to the Europeans.
In contracts to find peace they lost even more land and the Spanish people started to deal with the Indians.
So the slavery got to the Natives.
They had to work for white people until they were dead, caused from too much work, starvation or diseases. When an Indian was too old or too weak, he was ill or starving you could not deal with him anymore because he got worthless.
A lot of them has to work as divers for finding pearls.
They were just thrown into the ocean to dive and when they wanted to come up again, exhausted and tired from work, they were just thrown in again and again.
Within the last hundred years it had changed.
Some things got worse, some got better.
In 1830 an Indian Removal Act was created and consequently a lot of Indians were kept in Reservations, that still exist today. Thirty-Nine years later, in 1869, a transcontinantal railway was finished that connected the east- with the westcoast and so white people got to the west where they started to suppress the Indians too.
Fifty-five years later, in 1924, six years after the first World War ended, a few Indians were able to get an American Citizenship for the first time in history and that was just caused because they served the Army during that war. In 1934 then, ten years later, Indians got a right on their culture and to exercise it. Those were the better things that happened but still today Indians get suppressed as you can see that Reservations still exist and the living conditions in there are bad. Very bad.
Barely anybody has work, poverty is one of the biggest problems and drugs and alcohol is consumed so much, because it's dulling the pain so much.
Today there are about a Million Indian people living in America out of about 300 Million inhabitants. That makes an amount of about 1% Indians, or one Indian among a hundred other inhabitants.

What would be if this happened again?
It still sounds ridiculous but it really happened and as some people say: History is cyclical.
It could happen again. it coul. It doesnt have to.
Do something against it and dont let it happen again.
What would this world be if you are slaved for other people you do not even know.
What when you just get killed for being ill or too old?
Do not let it happen again because this you are a part of this world and you can change it with everything you do and say.
