Of course it could have been prevented! The settler from England and Europe just came to the Americas, claimed the land for themselves even though there were already people living there, and they destroyed the natives!!! I just think that it is so awful what the settlers did to the Native Americans. They could have made peace with them and asked to live in the Americas, or choose to share the land with the natives. But did they do that? NO! Instead the settlers destroyed the native’s land, culture, and people. My hear goes out to all the Native Americans who were killed even though they did nothing wrong. I hope one day we will live in a world where race doesn’t matter between people. Because in the end we are all the same. We are all humans! :)
