Answer:

American Indians failed to make use of the land, so it was acceptable for Europeans to take it and use it.

Explanation:

The Indians were organized and happy societies that used nature sustainably, only to meet their own needs. However, Europeans did not have an adequate understanding of the culture of the Indians of America. In the view of the Europeans, the Indians were savage civilizations that did not have the capacity to develop as the white man. Thus there was the realization that the white man had the prerogatives necessary to do what the Indians did not do: Economic exploitation on land - through the exploitation of natural resources - and the implementation of the civility model of man's societies white, including the Christian religion.
