three things from class
the European colonies were justified by saying that the natives couldn't follow natural law. natural laws are laws that are implied and beyond government one example is eating people. because the natives couldn't follow what the Europeans thought was natural law, the natives were thought to need someone to control them.
the difference between imperialism and colonialism is that an empire controls land but in colonies people go in a settle there.
at the time some people thought that morals come from culture and colonizing and taking culture away destroyed the native peoples morals.
