1.The indigenous people in America were categorized as Indians by the English colonizers through homogenization and polarization. This process took quite an impressive time, but the results were effective. The process of homogenization and polarization means mixing and setting apart, respectively. The polarization of the aboriginal people of America created a huge impact as the polarization was a vital part of the English colonization process (Jackson, 1998). 2.During colonization, the Americans were enslaved in massive amounts, and they were also transferred to other parts of the world as slaves. But that was not the case for Native Americans and Irish people.
