However, as more English settlers arrived, the colonists wanted more and more land. They would cut down forests to make farms, pushing the natives out of their homeland. Violence with native tribes increased each year. Tribes would raid the English settlements, killing men, women and children. The settlers would respond even more harshly, often burning entire native villages to the ground. The colonists would turn the tribes against each other, making alliances with some to fight others.
