This feels degrading and it fills me with a sense of sympathy for the Native Americans. Not only is this writing stating that the Natives are primitive (simple, unrefined, and undeveloped), but also considering the American colonies to be complex to create a distinct juxtaposition. That is most certainly used as propaganda since it’s an exaggerated and close minded perspective towards what they’re doing.

This had me thinking about what the “freedmen” living by themselves in their own colonies would have looked like. Especially since they would have either had to have their colonies on land “unclaimed” or for the States to remove their own people from parts of the land in order to allow them the space. I had also wondered if it would end up looking far more segregated than not living separated at all. If these new established colonies would be placed on a specific area of land, would it be fit to live on, or fair? Would their colonies get constantly moved and pushed to different areas just to satisfy White land owners—similarly to Native Americans?
