There are three main doctrines of the Protestant Reformation and the first is “Sole Authority of scripture”. It was one of the crucial watch words of the Reformation. It is believed that the Holy Bible or the Holy scriptures is the ultimate authority for the Christ like in regards to practice, faith and conduct. It is said form their point of view that the Bible teaches us everything we need to know about living holy and information for receiving salvation.
The second is “Justification by Faith Alone” , which they believed its not by our good works that we done but being justified before and saved by faith alone. One of the scriptures to back this up was found in Ephesians 2:8,9 “ for by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast”.
The third is “priesthood of the believer”. That was the third principle of the reformation which interprets as Christ being our high priest. They also believed that Christ is our mediator between man and God.

Las Casas came to the Indies early; he knew Columbus and was the editor of the Admiral's journal. He knew conditions in the Americas first hand. As the reading in our packet indicates, he was present during Spanish genocidal attacks on the native population of Cuba.
After coming to the realization that the Spanish treatment of the native population was unconscionable, Las Casas became a Dominican priest, and began travelling back and forth across the Atlantic. He was in part responsible for the repeal of the laws which allowed the Indians to be used in what amounted to slave labor gangs Government officials were willing to go along with this attempt to end the system for they feared that a new class of feudal lords would arise in the colonies. The Spanish colonists were outraged at this interference. Las Casas attempted to set up a colony on the coast of Venezuela where the native people would be treated properly. It failed largely because of the bad example set by the colony's neighbors.
The Columbian Exchange also known as the Grand Exchange was a dramatically widespread exchange of animals, plants, culture, human populations (including slaves) and ideas between the Western and Eastern Hemispheres. People of Europe and Africa settled in the New World, and animals, plants and diseases of Eurasia and the Western Hemisphere were introduced to each area in an interchange. This exchange of plants and animals transformed European, American, African, and Asian ways of life. New foods became staples of human diets, and new growing regions opened up for crops. One of the first eropean export was the horse which changed the lives of many Native Americans tribes allowing them to shift to nomadic lifestyle, which they use would hunt bisons on horseback. Tomato sauce made from new world order tomatoes became a Italian trademark. Also along with all of these changes different diseases started to plague the people, the small pox epidemics are believed to have resulted in the largest death tolls among native Americans.

The Puritans and the Pilgrims emerged as two different spiritual groups. The Pilgrims were often in disagreement with the religious practices and beliefs of the Puritans. The dividing of the followers of Christianity into Puritans and Pilgrims happened following the Reformation that emerged in England in the 1600s. Puritans completely opposed the way in which the English churches functioned and they struggled to make changes to it. Puritans believed that people should start following purer forms to worship God. Pilgrims totally opposed the racial refinement and genocide. The people with more power exploited the weaker class economically. The pilgrims completely opposed this economic exploitation, and they tried their best to stop this unfair event/behavior
Puritan theology was similar to Calvinism. It talked of the sinful nature of humans. The Puritans believed that by an everlasting verdict, God has resolved to save some people through the righteousness of Christ. They believed in the concept of eternal destiny. They gave a lot of importance to conversion, and to change humans from being sinful to be holy.

The colonists seemed to think of Natives as heathens because their religious training led them to believe a person without their religion was better off dead. Fortunately for many natives the colonists had to abide by English laws.
This did not make them friends. To circumvent the law, colonists would often start a war with certain tribes. The Native Americans had no idea of European war and even less chance of winning against the colonists. Their only alternative was to sue for a peace treaty. In order to stop the killing tribes would buy peace with land. In a relatively short period of about 200 years the British colonists had all thirteen colonies as legal assets of the Crown.
The Cherokee tribe had an area of the Blue Ridge Mountains that they considered holy. In order to keep the land many of the tribe began living as white men. clothing, houses, churches, wagons and farms. They even bought and sold slaves and became citizens of the state of North Carolina. Aside from a few other tribes considered civilized, there was only a tense time in between wars when Colonists did not kill Native Americans on sight and vice versa. They never adapted.
