Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: The Europeans had set boundaries for their land while Native Americans did not have private property. Also, they had different crops, diseases and animals that they shared with each other during the columbian exchange. The Europeans had a more modern lifestyle while the Native Americans were less civilized.
Detailed explanation-2: -Europeans carried a hidden enemy to the Indians: new diseases. Native peoples of America had no immunity to the diseases that European explorers and colonists brought with them. Diseases such as smallpox, influenza, measles, and even chicken pox proved deadly to American Indians.
