Summary

"An Address to the People of New-England" by Samuel Hopkins explores the need for positive and fair relationships between colonists and Native Americans during the mid-1700s. It suggests that treating Indigenous people with kindness and fairness, and introducing them to the principles of Christianity, is vital for the safety and success of the colonies. The narrative emphasizes the importance of securing their loyalty and preventing them from siding with other powers, like the French, by adopting strategies such as fair trade, education, and religious support. This publication serves as both a moral appeal and a plan for building peaceful and cooperative alliances with Native American tribes, advocating for justice and understanding as the foundation for colonial security and expansion.
