[QUOTE="hung_to_bleed:645071"]Roger Williams....ha! The catholic religion, essentially, was the sole "moral" force that killed Native Americans. The missionaries thought that it was "God's work" that those who do not convert are better off dead. The Euros brought more than the Gospel of Christ to the "new world" - they also brought "old world diseases" that the Native Americans did not posses any immunities to. When Native Americans started perishing, not only to genocide but also to plagues and virulent outbreaks of old world diseases, many Native tribes began to believe that the widespread death of their people just may be the cause of rejecting such faith. As a result, many Native tribes converted. The missionaries, even though they believe they possessed such a faithful and just mission, were undoubtedly the ones who stared the whole mindset that Natives were savages who were better off dead because they were "ungodly". Just like how the hanging of John Brown was the "Meteor" of the Civil War, the missionaries condemnation of the Native "savages" was the "meteor" of the death of Native Americans. [/QUOTE]
