Throughout the age of exploration, many great men have overpowered lands for the sake of their countries by utilizing bravery, power, and skill to destroy savage nations that hinder our progress. The wild nature of the underdeveloped nations shows a clear inferiority to our beautiful European Civilizations. Conquering these nations may actually help these nations further develop past their primitive selves into something worthwhile with our help to civilize and educate them to help them get over their savage ways. 

The savage and borderline inhuman ways of life in the New World are unspeakable evils that must be exterminated. It is clear that these evil people are inferior to our civil and orderly ways, and as such they must be educated and conquered. We, as chosen people of god, must take this land as it is rightfully ours and god has bestowed this great fortune upon us of land and resource. While some might argue that this may be inhumane to kill and conquer these savages, we mustn’t consider them human, as they are clearly inferior to us in nearly every aspect and it would be ridiculous to make the comparison between us and them as if we are even close to equal. 

Overall, the extermination of these pests is an action we must take for the sake of the advancement of superior humans. Our uses and purposes for this land far outweigh the simple uses of these savages, therefore we deserve to take what is rightfully ours, for the sake of all that is righteous.


The author's comments:

This is a short historical satire on opinions about Native Americans during the time period of the Age of Exploration (1400-1700) of general people, and their opinions on the natives that inhabited the lands that were pillaged by European explorers. This demonstrates the exaggeration to show the ridiculousness of the presented ideas by those who favored European exploration and expansion.
