What do you think . . . was conflict between the English colonists and the Native Americans inevitable?  If so, why?  If not, why not?  Use specific factual examples in your response!  "Specific" means names, dates, actual events, quotes, etc.!!!

As usual, I will be moderating comments on a daily basis . . . if your comment/choice does not get posted in a timely fashion, it means either you violated one of the directions above (so try again by fixing whichever letter direction you violated), or I'm in the hospital (not voluntarily), or I've moved on to that great history place in the sky (again, not voluntarily)!
