Answer:

In British America, there was no greater sense of Otherness

than between Europeans and Native Americans. Both Indians

and Africans represented the "other" to white colonists, but the

Indians held one card denied to the enslaved Africans—

autonomy. As sovereign entities, the Indian nations and the

European colonies (and countries) often dealt as peers. In

trade, war, land deals, and treaty negotiations, Indians held

power and used it. As late as 1755, an English trader asserted

that "the prosperity of our Colonies on the Continent will stand

or fall with our Interest and favour among them.

I only did the 2-3 sentance
