How Red Indians disappeared in America ? ( I need very serious ansers please)?

Answer 1

There are several reasons that the native Americans are not as prevalent as they used to be:

1. 470 something treaties that our government made with the tribes and broke.

2. Disease infected blankets were intentionally traded to the native Americans to kill them off.

3. When we traded arms to the native Americans, we only gave them guns with no rifling in the barrels making the weapons very inaccurate.

4. We forced marched the tribes across the country along what is now called the trail of tears in which almost every elderly and most youth did not survive.

5. When a few of the tribes finally got fed up with this treatment and started fighting back we slaughtered them.

This was every bit as much of an act of genocide as Nazi Germany committed. We just committed the genocide, slowly over a long period of time.

Answer 2

if you want serious answers, you need to pose a serious question.

What do you mean "Red Indians?" Do you think there were a tribe of indians who were literally red?

Is there a tribe known as "Red Indians?"

In general, native americans were killed off by diseases brought by europeans that were unknown in America, and thus the native americans had no defenses against these diseases.

Also, a systematic genocide was committed against the native americans.

Finally, many native americans married and mixed with european americans, african americans, and spaniards.

Today, there are still many native americans. Some live on reservations throughtout the Southwest, and others live in mainstream society. Native Americans make up only about 1 to 2% of the US population.

Answer 3

What do you mean disappeared? They have not gone anywhere. The population was reduced by disease when C. Columbus first landed, smallpox mainly reduced the numbers. Some tribes the populations became so small that they merged with other tribes (other than being wiped out). Some western US states have a large Native American population. There are Indian Reservations across the US, maybe you can visit one.

Answer 4

There are millions of Indians alive and well all over the nation.I don't think you have your information correct .

When the European colonists arrived on the American continent, there were nearly 12 million Native Americans living within the confines of the present United States. They were divided into more than one thousand different tribes or kinship groups. Many of those original inhabitants died from the European diseases introduced into their homelands by the colonists. The surviving natives were steadily pushed from one place to another as the invading colonists constantly appropriated more and more of the Indians’ lands for farming, ranching and mineral development. Eventually, the US government allocated parcels of land, known as Indian Reservations, to each of the Indian tribes. There are many Indians that do not live on a reservation,they are your neighbors your friends in any town USA.

Answer 5

There are no Red Indians but Native Americans. They haven't disappeared but are living well in America.

Answer 6

Disease is the primary reason most aboriginal Americans died from 1492 (Columbus) and 1900 (last natives moved to reservations). On the east coast, literally millions of people died just from contact with European explorers; whole tribes had disappeared by the time of the Mayflower and Jamestown. The natives had no immunity from diseases such as smallpox which did not exist in the New World. Sure, lots were killed from warfare and many died from famine/destitution, but the vast majority died of disease.

Answer 7

Well they didnt die out at least not yet. Only about2 million are left, Like everyone else here said, diseases and genocide wiped most of em out. Now they're so depressed they turn to alcohol and that's wipin em out too. Their bodies went thousands of years without sugar so when their bodies were exposed to sugar, it was like another disease, so now a lot of em are diabetic and those ones will die out too, their language is perishing, their way of life is diminishing, in about 50 years there will probably only be about half a million left. They leave the reservations and have children and marry different races (white, black,spanish,etc). So ya in about 75 years they should be extinct. Sad because i am one of em, but I know im only human like the rest of the world, so i try not to let reality bother me much. This is as serious of an answer as you'll get.

Answer 8

Were they really red, or were they really Indian for that matter?

They were the American Natives.


They didn't fully disappear, though their numbers have dwindled so low as to be a very small % of population in the US and Canada.

Answer 9

They didn't disappear. They are still here. During the settling of the West, though, a lot of them were eliminated through wars, disease, and being absorbed into the Euro-American population.

Answer 10

"red indian" here- actually Tsalagi, Eastern band- long hair clan- we have not disappeared- there are still many nations, tribes and clans, alive and well here in America..and some of us still have a slight attitude problem and do not like to be referred to as "red indians"
