How did the people of America shifted their ideologies from one set of beliefs to another?

Question

Why did this happen? What were the political, economic and social conditions that led to this shift?

Answer 1

Are we talking the native Americans here or!

Sorry, but I think a tad more specific in the period your are thinking about would be of great help.

Answer 2

A lot of factors play into this.... can be wars, economic situations, contacts with people from other places. Your question doesn't specifically address what time period you are discussing. You need to narrow down what you are looking for and compare it to an historical timeline.

Answer 3

It depends upon when it was. Best wishes. UK

Answer 4

As soon as they learnt that speculation not hard work was the way to get on in the land of past opportunity. The opportunity was taken by the speculators who still make dishonest millions exploiting it.
