Jazlynn Wiggins · Answer 2

The correct answer is C) colonists pushed their boundaries into American Indian lands.

A cause of conflict between colonists and American Indians in Virginia was that colonists pushed their boundaries into American Indian lands.

That means that one of the main causes of conflict was that colonists in Virginia wanted to expand their territories into lands that already belonged to the Native American Indians that lived there since many years ago. Native American Indians did not have the concept of property as Europeans had. The Indians honored and respected nature because it nurtured them, That is why they had chants and dances to express gratitude to Mother Nature. On the other hand, European settlers wanted the land to get property and produce an income.
