     Within this time period, Native Americans came to face the reality that settlers were trying to take over their land. The British, French and many other European countries were bringing men,women, and children to "the New World."  Once Europeans got to America, they wanted to stay. Therefore, many battles were to be fought with the settlers and the Native Americans. Never the less, once we got to America the settlers also had to deal with problems of their own. There were many problems arising.
