Question

Which of the following statements best describes how Governor Berkeley viewed Native Americans?

a) As equal partners in trade
b) As valuable allies
c) As a threat to English interests
d) As potential citizens

Answer 1

Governor Berkeley viewed Native Americans as a threat to English interests due to their resistance to white settlers and their role in impeding English expansion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Governor Berkeley viewed Native Americans as a threat to English interests. He believed that some Native American groups would resist encroachment by white settlers and saw them as obstacles to English expansion in North America. This view is supported by the fact that Native Americans were being pushed aside and forced to sell their lands to settle debts owed to traders, as seen in the example of the Creeks ceding land to Georgia.
