2. The conflicts between settlers and Native - Americans in New England were resolved through a combination of treaties (like the Pequot War leading to treaties that reduced Native - American power), land purchases, and further displacement of Native - American tribes over time as settlers expanded.
3. New Amsterdam was located at the southern tip of Manhattan Island. Its geography, with a natural harbor, facilitated trade, attracting settlers and merchants. The harbor allowed for easy access to goods, influencing population settlement near the waterfront and driving economic activities such as shipping, fur - trading, and later, the growth of a commercial center.
