INTRODUCTION
History is a systematic, continuous past events narrative relating to a specific period, people, person, or even a country, often written as an account of chronicle. It involves the collection of data (science). Once this data is interpreted as well as understood; this academic’s discipline art is the ability to deduce or conclude lost parts of history to initiate this historical event or fact, hence the art fact of history, Burns& Raphaelle 2020
The history of native Americans is complex by the diverse cultural and geographic backgrounds of the involved people, Edwards et al., 2020. In the 20th century, many scholars America’s population was 50 million, while the historians contradicted the scholars by providing an estimate of 100 million. Millions of people immigrated from Europe to America due to European colonization. As a result of this immigration, Eurasian and African populations in America grew steadily. These people settled in North America; they were not Americans.
The immigrants, specifically the Eurasians, were unique in a way because they had diseases such as smallpox, pneumonia, and influenza that devastated the Native Americans since they lacked immunity to them. These diseases caused lots of deaths to native Americans and blacks. According to scholars, early colonial period events were inextricably associated with the epidemic of bubonic plague or black’s death that hit Europe in 1347-1400.
The independence declaration indicates that all people are created equal and that liberty, happiness pursuit, and life are unalienable rights of man. These are the reasons behind independence being sacred. Therefore, this document does not discriminate against anybody as long as you are a human being, contrary to the Native America who discriminated against and underestimated the non-Americans. The Americans created a constitution of their newly independent confederation because they felt that they were the people who belonged to their country, America as opposed to non-Americans; the Africans and Eurasians in America.
