Colonists Views on Natural Resources
In William Cronon’s book, Changes in the Land, he discusses how the colonist viewed and used the natural resources in New England. He also discusses how their consumption of the natural resources affected the landscape. ... The Indians took only what they needed to survive and did not strive for luxury items, unlike the colonists who wanted to profit off of the land. When the colonist first arrived and settled in New England, they took advantage of the abundance of natural resources, such as timber, animals, crops, water, and fish. They sent word back to England that there was an infinite supply of natural resources, in hopes of attracting more people to come over to New England.
