About this book

In a pivotal era of expansion and exploitation, European powers embarked on a relentless quest for colonies, often cloaked in the guise of spreading Christianity. "Colonization and Christianity: A Popular History of the Treatment of the Natives by the Europeans in All Their Colonies" by William Howitt meticulously examines the profound moral contradictions inherent in this mission. Through compelling narratives, Howitt unveils the devastating impact of colonization on indigenous cultures, highlighting the stark contrast between professed values of compassion and the brutal realities faced by native populations. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this work serves as a critical exploration of the intersection of faith and imperialism, shedding light on the unalienable rights of those marginalized in the name of progress.
