1.Although the colonists suffered diseases of their own early on, they were largely immune to the microbes they brought over to the New World. The local Native American populations, however, had no such immunity to diseases like smallpox, tuberculosis, measles, cholera, and the bubonic plague.
2.The Cayuse War was an armed conflict that took place in the Northwestern United States from 1847 to 1855 between the Cayuse people of the region and the United States Government and local American settlers. Caused in part by the influx of disease and settlers to the region, the immediate start of the conflict occurred in 1847 when the Whitman Massacre took place at the Whitman Mission near present-day Walla Walla, Washington when fourteen people were killed in and around the mission. Over the next few years the Provisional Government of Oregon and later the United States Army battled the Native Americans east of the Cascades. This was the first of several wars between the Native Americans and American settlers in that region that would lead to the negotiations between the United States and Native Americans of the Columbia Plateau, creating a number of Indian reservations.
3 The war had significant long-term consequences for the region, opening up the Cayuse territories to white settlement but wrecking relations between whites and the native tribes and setting the scene for a series of fresh wars over the following 40 years.
4.The Native American medicine men would not take patients who did not have a good chance of being healed. Catholic missionaries were more accepting of Native American culture.
5.By the Catholic account, the Catholics were far more successful than the Protestants. The causes of this were at least three: The Catholic (there was only one missionary) ate Indian food with the Indians; the Protestants brought their own food and ate it with their families.
