For English settlers, land was the basis of independence and liberty. Explain the reasoning behind that concept and how it differed from the Indians' conception of land.

Juxtaposition of the English and Indian conceptions of Land and Land ownership. In a place where development only just began, Land was the most important resource. According to the text, "English Colonists . . . wanted land, not dominion over the existing population" (54). This want for land by the settlers, made them treat the men with land with more esteem. Consequently, Men with lands weren't made slaves and this made Land the basis of liberty. Soon the settlers took over unoccupied lands as well as occupied land; they also sought to purchase land from the Indians. And so settlers who owned lands and Indians who retained the ownership of their lands were free and allowed to vote. This describes the power of land as the basis of liberty for the English settlers. Before the coming of the English settlers, the Indian perspective to land had always been a collective one. A perspective that embraced collective ownership of land by members of the Indian community. The Indians believed, unlike the English settlers, that their land was given to them by The Great Spirit with a mandate to take care of it.
