The protestant colonists assumed the right, based on the same Bible, of possession without limitations all the earth that they could occupy throwing or exterminating its inhabitants. And when they arrived on American soil they tried to spread their religious beliefs. In America they met with five people who called Five Civilized Tribes, this concept applies to five indigenous nations of the United States: the Cherokee, the Chickasaw, the Choctaw, the Creek and the Seminole, considered "civilized" by European settlers during the initial colonial and federal period because they had adopted many Western customs.
