On the other were the European settlers, who flocked to the New World seeking freedom or fortune. What began as a sometimes friendly and cooperative relationship soon led to bitter and bloody conflicts as the young and fragile nation sought its identity. This book explores the complex history and the turbulent relations between native people and the new settlers in North America.

"The Second Amendment states, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. With those words, the Founding Fathers laid the groundwork for a political and social touchstone that is still controversial after more than 200 years. Today, arguments over the true meaning and intention of the Second Amendment play out across our nation. With this book, readers go beyond the sensational headlines to explore the origins of the Second Amendment, both in a historical and contemporary context"--Provided by publisher.
