The effect for the Native Americans was catastrophic. The Spanish brought diseases such as small pox which killed Natives off by the thousands. Entire empires such as the Inca's and Aztecs fell to the greed of Cortes and other famous conquistadors. Then the English didn't exactly help. Just about every single treaty ever made with the Native Americans has been broken. Scratch that; it would be fair to say EVERY treaty. The proclamation of 1763 is a good example. Everything west of the Appalachians was given to the Natives with this treaty. Because many wealthier Americans had purchased land out west already, they were discontented with this English proclamation. Later it was broken further when the idea of Manifest Destiny (the idea that it was America's god given destiny to have land from coast to coast in North America) came to the table which COMPLETELY contradicts this proclamation. Of course, there are hundreds, maybe thousands of examples of treaties and proclamations like this. Consider the Trail of Tears. The actual court case (can't remember it off of the top of my head-I think it's Warchester vs. Georgia) was won by the Cherokee. However, president Jackson forced them off of the land anyway in the trail of tears. Another example can be the Dawes Act. I could write a book on this. In fact, it's been done several times I'm sure. If you need further evidence, look at the terrible reservations Native Americans live on today. Look up some of the massacres of THIS century. Native Americans really, really, really, lost a lot. If there is one extremely dark spot on American history, that's it right there. You could argue slavery was worse...but my vote goes for the tragic fate of the natives.
