Answer 1
Answer: On the one hand, the English settlers anticipated Indians as a friendly, gentle people, eager for trade and willing to share their earthly paradise. On the other hand, Englishmen feared the Indians as a savage, hostile people. Negative images of the Indians seemed to prevail, providing a moral justification for taking land from a people who rejected the superior culture and religion of the Englishmen.
Answer 2
Answer: As the two Richard Hakluyts pointed out in the 1580s and 1590s, colonization of the New World offered new estates for English noblemen; exotic produce and wider markets for English merchants; and heathen peoples to be saved from both savagery and Catholicism. New World colonies would provide tax revenues for the Crown, employment opportunities for an excess population, and military bases from which to raid the Spanish.
Answer 3
Answer: The lack of immunities to European diseases among Native Americans resulted in a decimation of the native population. The enslavement and brutal treatment of natives intensified the lethal effects. A diminishing supply of local labor would later necessitate the importation of African slaves. A massive flow of silver from America to England provided additional revenue, but also caused a price revolution and inflationary pressures which later prompted Europeans to emigrate to America.
