USH Classwork Textbook Archive 1887

In class today I used this textbook History Textbook from 1887 to read how Indians during this time period viewed Naive Americans (Indians). We also had to look up the words "savages" and "savagery" to connect them to how those words related to the Native Americans. According to google savage means to be "fierce, violent and uncontrollable", and savagery is the "condition of being primitive and uncivilized." I also looked up the word "savages" within the textbook. In the this textbook, it talks about how the Indians were "savages"against anyone that had threatened them. If i were a student that was being taught from this book I would view the Indians differently than I do now. I would have been taught how the Indians were the enemy and that I should fear them because they will attack anyone that goes near them. This book gives the complete opposite of how we view and think of the Indians today.
