6. no, really, the immigrants beleived Native Americans were not

descended from the 12 tribes of Israel. What they based this on I have no idea. The also believed the same of Africans. Since they beleived all human life had been destroyed in the flood, they regarded these "races" as not human, and therefore animal and therefore saw it okay to place them under dominion, as in "God gave man dominion over the animals", and felt free to murder them and enslave them as based on biblical teachings. For real.
