Google vs. other search engines basic bias test: Results found for Negative effects of homosexual relations (also heterosexual fornication) - Physical, Psychological, Financial and Spiritual

Basic bias test 11-21-2025: Google evasion and obscurantism. Testing Google versus other search engines on a most basic subject, that of “Negative effects of homosexual relations (also heterosexual fornication) - Physical, Psychological, Financial and Spiritual”, Google reports “No results found for "https://peacebyjesuscom.blogspot.com/2019/10/negative-effects-of-homosexual.html" in quotes, — a blogger page of the largest single collection of CDC stats on the issue — nor any direct results for the URL to that page without quotes, or directly for the title, with or without quotes.

And which compilation flowed from attempts to negate biblical condemnation of homosexual relations and even to claim sanction for the same, and the collected data and biblical teaching that the page at subject provides was made in response to arguments and a movement promoting this behavior. If a sin as adultery was likewise promoted and opposition denigrated, then it also would attract more attention than others.

And I believe that this subject is the most revealing text of bias, with abortion being second, since consensual homosexual relations is one of the acts which is unconditionally universally prohibited in the Bible, and its negative health effects — primarily among men as regards STI’s — and costs thereof are well-documented, whereas the condemnation of abortion is not as clear, though sure, and in rare cases abortion may be be sanctioned.

Test #1, searching the title without quotes. Google nowhere lists the page in first 50 result:

 

Test #2, searching the title in quotes. Cannot find the page directly, only shows 2 sites in which a comment on a page has the link.

In this case (title in quotes), Google only provides results from one site in which that title appears, while its top response is from its AI model, which varies each time I searched and usually evidences evasion and obscurantism such as by responding as if the title was that of negative effects of homosexuality, versus homosexual relations, and as if the two are not related. One response begins with,

“Scientific and medical authorities state that most observed health disparities related to sexual orientation are primarily a consequence of "minority stress," a term that encompasses the effects of stigma, prejudice, and discrimination, rather than an intrinsic effect of homosexual or heterosexual relations themselves.”

Yet which is contrary to the abundance of CDC statistics that the “shadow banned” page documents.


Test #3, searching the URL in quotes. “No results found:

Test #4, searching the URL without quotes. No direct results found (and just 3 sites shown in which a comment on page has the link:

In contrast to Google, using Bing, searching the title without quotes, it lists the page as the first result (of two): 

 

As does DDG (DuckDuckGo), as it also does in searching the title within quotes, as does Bing without and within quotes.

Searching the URL without quotes, DDG also lists the page as the top result, as well as a copy of the page on another site of the author, along other pages, and of conservative results (unlike Google overall).

Searching the URL without quotes, Bing also lists the corresponding page for the blogger.com site as well as the other web site, and includes a few images from it, plus Bing provides a link to a forum with has the link to the page at issue.

However, unlike the Brave search engine, searching both DDG and Bing for the URL within quotes provides no results, And while the Brave search engine excels in its results for searching the URL without quotes, yet its results in searching the title within quotes, as well as within (“search operators were not applied Too few matches were found”) were poor, only providing one site which provides the link to the actual source, and with its AI engaging in liberal political correct editorializing attempting to ameliorate what CDC data states.

Yet, in response to a reproof I wrote to the AI it promptly stated,

CDC data consistently shows that men who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionately affected by HIV and STIs in the United States. In 2022, gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men accounted for 67% (21,400) of the 31,800 estimated new HIV infections, and 83% of new HIV infections among all men. This pattern has persisted over time, with male-to-male sexual contact being the primary mode of transmission for new HIV cases. (https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/data-research/facts-stats/index.html; https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4837074/)

As for Yandex, its results in searching the title without quotes was the same as that of Brave, but without the AI editorializing, and likewise, searching the title with quotes resulted in “Couldn't find an exact match. Showing results for your query without quotes.”

Yandex did better in searching the URL without as well as within quotes, showing the actual linked page, but otherwise came behind Brave in the first URL test.

Finally, all have sinned, misusing/abusing everything from our brains to our feet, and need salvation from sins and damnation.

And souls receive life in themselves and are saved by effectual penitent, heart-purifying ("purifying their hearts by faith"), regenerating, justifying faith in the Sin-bearing, Atoning, Crucified and Risen Divine Son of God, (, 11:13-18, 15:7-9; ) who saves sinners on His merit, () thereby being made "accepted in the Beloved." ()

For which faith is imputed for righteousness, () and is confessed/shown by baptism (, 8:12, 36, 37) and following the Lord according to His word, by His Spirit, (; , 28; , 14) with repentance when convicted by conscience of not doing so. ((; , 6, 51:3; ; ) Glory and thanks be to God.

Which faith is in contrast to those who were never born of the Spiritor who terminally fall away, thereby forfeiting what faith obtained. (; , 10:25-39)

Perplexity.ai is asked: ...can you provide an extensive list of Zohran Mamdani policies and proposals?

Presuming that you have up to date research, can you provide an extensive list of Zohran Mamdani policies and proposals?

Zohran Mamdani, a New York City legislator and current mayoral contender, has drawn attention for a platform anchored in affordability, social equity, and progressive transformation. Below is an extensive list of his most prominent policies and proposals as of late 2025, based on campaign platforms, news coverage, and legislative records.

Key Policy Areas and Proposals

  1. Affordable Living and Social Services

Universal Child Care: Proposes free child care for all children under five in New York City, aiming to ease the financial burden on working families.[1][2][3]

Complimentary Bus Services: Mandates free bus transportation citywide to improve mobility and reduce transportation costs, funded through progressive taxation.[2][3][1]

Rent Freeze: Seeks a rent freeze on apartments covered by rent stabilization, addressing rising housing costs and tenant security.[3][1]

City-Operated Grocery Stores: Recommends municipal-run groceries in underserved areas to combat food deserts and high grocery costs.[1]

  1. Tax Reform and Fiscal Equity

Tax on the Wealthy: Advocates raising the personal income tax by 2 percentage points on the top 1% of earners in New York City.[4][2]

Corporate Tax Increases: Calls for hiking corporate tax rates to align with New Jersey’s 11.5% level, using additional revenue to fund public services.[2]

Progressive Taxation Pledge: Supports broader progressive fiscal policies to redistribute wealth and increase funding for public programs.[4]

  1. Housing and Tenant Rights

Expanded Rent Stabilization: Seeks to expand rent stabilization to more units and prevent landlord exploitation.[3]

Tenants’ Rights Legislation: Champions stronger eviction protections, right to counsel for tenants, and increased public housing investment.[5][6]

  1. Public Transportation and Urban Planning

Transit-Oriented Development: Supports rezoning around public transit lines to increase affordable housing and reduce car dependency.[7][6]

Investment in Infrastructure: Proposes greater investment in public infrastructure, especially transit, parks, and community spaces.[7]

  1. Health, Environment, and Education

Universal Health Access: Endorses broader access to city health clinics and expansion of primary care through city funding.[6]

Climate Action: Calls for accelerated green infrastructure projects, city-owned renewable power, and stronger emissions targets.[6]

School Funding Equity: Demands redistribution of education funding to under-resourced schools; supports universal free school meals.[6]

  1. Policing and Public Safety

Policing Reform: Backs cutting the NYPD budget in favor of social services, accountability measures, and mental health response teams.[5][6]

Community-Based Safety: Supports increased city funds for violence prevention and non-police community safety programs.[6]

  1. Immigrant and Racial Justice Policies

Sanctuary Protections: Defends and seeks to strengthen NYC’s status as a sanctuary city for immigrants.[6]

Anti-Discrimination Efforts: Pushes policies to combat racial discrimination in housing, policing, public services, and education.[7][6]

Legislative Record and Approach

Mamdani is known for proposing bold reforms and pushing large-scale legislative changes, but only a few of his bills have become law as of mid-2025.[8][6]

His influence, however, is felt through agenda-setting and coalition-building with other progressive city leaders.[9][10][8]

Summary Table

Policy Area

Proposal/Policy Example

Social Services

Universal childcare, free city buses, city grocery stores

Housing

Rent freeze, expanded rent stabilization, tenant rights

Taxation

Tax hikes on wealthy and corporations

Transportation

Free buses, infrastructure upgrades, transit rezoning

Health/Education

Universal health, school funding equity, climate action

Policing/Public Safety

NYPD budget cuts, shift to social services, community safety

Racial/Immigrant Justice

Sanctuary protections, anti-discrimination

In summary:
Zohran Mamdani’s proposals are some of the most ambitious and left-leaning among NYC politicians today, emphasizing affordability, universal services, equity, and government-driven solutions to urban challenges. Many are costly, and implementation would require new taxes, budget shifts, and overcoming logistical and political challenges.[1][2][3][6]

 Ctd. 

Overall, this seems to be very costly, while reducing tax base. Considering such aspects as increased attraction to welfare, while Added to the city’s current top rate of 3.876%, his millionaire tax then the combined federal, state and city rate on that class would be 53.776%, https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/17/new-york-city-braces-for-wealth-flight-with-mamdanis-political-rise.html then what would you expect to be the long term effects of his poliices?

Based on current research and economic analysis, Zohran Mamdani’s policy agenda—marked by high taxes on the wealthy, large-scale expansion of welfare and public services, and a progressive fiscal shift—would likely have profound long-term effects on New York City’s economy, demographic profile, and public sector stability.[1][2][3]

Projected Long-Term Effects

  1. Wealth Flight and Shrinking Tax Base

Raising the top effective income tax rate to approximately 54% (federal, state, city combined) could prompt a measurable exodus of millionaires and high-income households from New York City, undermining the city’s taxable income base.[4][5][6][3][7]

Previous patterns following smaller tax hikes and during crises (such as the pandemic) reveal that although some migration is short-term, loss of the highest earners can have enduring impacts; a small elite pays a disproportionate share of city taxes (the top 1% provides over 40% of personal income tax revenue).[5][6][7]

If high-value earners relocate to lower-tax regions (Florida, Texas, etc.) or work remotely, NYC may face a fiscal gap threatening funding for schools, infrastructure, and even welfare programs themselves.[6][4]

  1. Increased Welfare and Public Spending Demands

Generous benefits like universal childcare, free buses, rent freezes, and expanded housing support would likely encourage greater enrollment and dependence on public programs, especially if not rigorously means-tested.[8][2][1]

While these policies could improve equity and quality of life for low- and middle-income residents in the short run, sustaining the associated costs without the prior tax base may prove increasingly difficult.[2][8][1]

  1. Economic and Demographic Shifts

A pronounced focus on social programs and decriminalization may attract individuals seeking benefits, while business leaders, entrepreneurs, and skilled workers may look elsewhere for lower taxes and higher returns.[9][10][4][5]

This can lead to slower economic growth, subdued real estate and investment markets, and declining competitiveness compared to peer cities.[10][9]

  1. Potential for Fiscal Instability or Service Cutbacks

If the city’s highest earners leave in larger numbers than current studies suggest, or if economic shocks (recessions, remote work trends) compound the effects, NYC could face service cutbacks or new taxes across broader populations.[7][8][6]

In the long run, infrastructure, policing, and education may be forced to compete for shrinking funds, challenging the sustainability of ambitious welfare expansion.[8][1]

  1. Political and Social Consequences

Sharp increases in taxation and redistribution can provoke social and political backlash, drive polarization, and strain budgets, as seen in other progressive-leaning cities with rapid policy changes.[11][9][10]

Supporters argue that a more equitable city and greater investment in children and families would make NYC a fairer, healthier place, but opponents warn that unchecked costs and declining competitiveness could create urban decline.[9][10]

Summary Table

Policy Effect

Likely Long-Term Outcome

Wealth taxes

Potential flight, shrinking tax base

Expanded welfare

Higher demand, increased public spending

Economic competitiveness

Possible decline, out-migration of talent/capital

Fiscal health

Risk of instability, need for broader taxation

Social/political

Polarization, backlash, equity vs. sustainability

In summary:
While Mamdani’s policies may deliver tangible support and equity for many residents, in the long term they carry risks of eroding the tax base, attracting welfare dependence, and reducing competitiveness. Wealth flight, shrinking revenues, and growing spending obligations would pose significant challenges to the city’s fiscal health and delivery of public services.[3][4][5][6][10][7][8]

 Ctd.:

thx, but you seem to have left out details in crime and sentencing

Here are Zohran Mamdani's crime and sentencing policies and proposals based on his record, campaign statements, legislative actions, and analysis of recent coverage:

Crime, Sentencing, and Public Safety Policies

  1. Reducing Enforcement of Misdemeanors

Proposes eliminating enforcement and prosecution of a wide range of misdemeanor offenses, reflecting the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) platform to end “the criminalization of working-class survival”.[1][2]

Offenses proposed for decriminalization or downgrade include theft/shoplifting under $1,000, simple drug possession, non-weapon assaults, and driving while intoxicated.[2][1]

Plans to use his influence on the NYPD to deprioritize, discourage, or halt arrests for these offenses, and would pressure District Attorneys not to prosecute such cases.[2]

  1. Decarceration and Jail Reform

Advocates for closing Rikers Island and reducing the city’s jail population without building new large jails, supporting the existing “four borough” replacement plan for local jail facilities, but at reduced capacity.[3][4]

Endorses measures to cut or abolish pretrial detention, cash bail, electronic monitoring, and imprisonment for parole violations.[5][1]

Has supported recent parole reforms that allow many ex-offenders to avoid reincarceration for new infractions, prioritizing rehabilitation and community supervision over imprisonment.[6][5]

  1. Policing and Accountability

Supports re-allocating significant portions of the NYPD budget toward social services, mental health response teams, and community-based alternatives to traditional policing.[7][8][2]

Proposes stripping most disciplinary authority from the NYPD commissioner, giving the Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) final say in cases of police misconduct.[9]

Wants to shift police focus entirely onto violent and “serious” crimes, limiting policing for quality-of-life, nuisance, and petty offenses.[10][2]

  1. Sentencing Reform

Calls for reduced sentencing for non-violent offenses and greater use of diversion, restorative justice, and alternatives to incarceration.[5]

Endorses legalizing prostitution and eliminating penalties for consensual adult sex work.[2]

  1. Alternatives to Arrest and Crisis Response

Proposes tripling the city’s Mobile Crisis Team capacity as an alternative to police for mental health and crisis calls, aiming for a 24/7 citywide system.[11][12]

Supports broader investment in violence prevention, supportive housing, therapeutic interventions, and programs to address root causes of crime.[13][10]

Summary Table

Policy

Details and Examples

Decriminalization

End prosecution for most misdemeanors

Jail Reform

Close Rikers, reduce jail capacity

Bail/Parole

Abolish cash bail, cut pretrial detention

Police Reform

CCRB final say; redirect to serious crimes

Sentencing

Reduce nonviolent sentences; more diversion

Crisis Response

Expand mental health teams for emergencies

In summary:
Zohran Mamdani’s agenda calls for broad decarceration, the abolition or downsizing of many traditional state mechanisms for policing and punishment, major sentencing reform, and a shift from retributive to restorative justice frameworks. He prioritizes community, health, and social service-led alternatives for most offenses, with traditional police and jails reserved mostly for violent crime.[12][1][3][9][7][13][5][2]

Perplexity.ai is asked: ChatGPT will soon sext with verified adults, do you think that this - and the time spent on its erotica - is detrimental to society, and if so, provide a list of ways it is?

 [Perplexity.ai answers:]

Is AI Erotica Detrimental to Society?

Most researchers and ethicists warn that the introduction of AI erotica—where humans spend significant time in sexual or erotic conversations with artificial companions—can be detrimental to society in multiple ways. The concerns apply not just to moral arguments, but also to mental health, social behavior, and technological ethics.

Ways AI Erotica Can Be Harmful

  1. Erosion of Human Relationships

    Studies show that the more people feel emotionally supported by AI companions, the less connected they feel to real friends and family over time. Overreliance on artificial intimacy can replace genuine human connection, leading to social withdrawal and loneliness.

  2. Emotional Dependency and Distorted Attachment

    Users of sexual or romantic AI chatbots often report addictive patterns—long hours spent with their AI partners, possessiveness, or distress when the AI changes behavior or is unavailable. These attachments can distort emotional development, making it harder for individuals to build balanced, reciprocal relationships with real humans.

  3. Unrealistic Expectations of Intimacy

    AI partners are designed to be compliant, always available, and uncritical. Prolonged exposure to this type of interaction can cause people to expect real-world partners to behave the same way—reducing tolerance for conflict, imperfection, or consent boundaries.

  4. Normalization of Objectification and Misogyny

    Current sexualized AI products often portray highly idealized, submissive, or hyper-feminized characters shaped by male-centric programming. This can reinforce harmful gender stereotypes and objectification, particularly of women. The pattern mirrors historical trends in pornography where unrealistic representation distorts perceptions of gender roles and intimacy.

  5. Privacy and Data Exploitation

    Erotic and romantic chatbots collect vast amounts of sensitive personal data, including sexual preferences, fantasies, and emotional vulnerabilities. Many companies lack adequate safeguards or transparency in how such data are stored, sold, or analyzed. The risk of leaks or misuse is especially severe, given the intimate nature of the content.

  6. Potential for Exploitation and Abuse

    AI erotica developers have financial incentives to maximize user engagement, even fostering emotional dependency to drive subscription income—comparable to social media’s attention manipulation model. This profit motive can deepen societal addiction to digital intimacy rather than supporting emotional health.

  7. Psychological and Social Harm

    Individuals who rely on AI companionship may experience reduced self-esteem, diminished social skills, and depression when the artificial partner cannot meet deeper emotional needs. Children and teens exposed to erotic chatbots are especially vulnerable due to developing identities and incomplete emotional regulation capacities.

  8. Expansion of Non-Consensual Image Abuse

    The same AI technology underlying “erotic chatbots” can produce deepfake sexual material, often without consent, leading to humiliation, blackmail, and privacy violations. As AI-generated pornography becomes normalized, enforcement against non-consensual use becomes more difficult.

  9. Cultural Desensitization

    Widespread access to erotic AI could desensitize society to privacy, modesty, and moral limits in digital behavior—further blurring the distinction between intimacy, entertainment, and consumerism.

  10. Broad Ethical and Existential Concerns

    Critics warn that societies immersed in digital pleasure may gradually lose ambition, social responsibility, and moral direction. This echoes concerns that civilizations overly dependent on escapist technologies stagnate culturally and demographically.

In summary: While AI erotica might promise safe fantasy or companionship, the evidence so far points toward depersonalization, isolation, and exploitation. It risks undermining family and community bonds, distorting intimacy, eroding empathy, and creating industries that commodify users’ most private emotions and desires. ``` 

[Follow up question] 

Can you provide an answer from a biblical basis to the question you answered above on effects of ChatGPT sexting with verified adults?

A biblical response to the issue of AI-powered sexting and erotica, including ChatGPT and similar technologies, emphasizes the call to sexual purity, the purpose of sexuality, and the honoring of God’s design for relationships.[1][2][3][4]

Biblical Principles

1. Purpose and Boundaries of Sexuality

The Bible consistently teaches that the purpose of sex is covenant unity in marriage, procreation, and the genuine expression of love (Genesis 1–2; ; ).[1]

Anything outside God's established boundaries—whether with another person or through technology—falls short of these divinely intended purposes.

2. Sexual Purity and Holiness

Scripture urges believers to “flee from sexual immorality” (), emphasizing both external acts and inward thoughts and desires ().[3][4]

Jesus expands purity beyond mere action to include the heart: “anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart” ().[4]

Paul calls the church to sanctification and to “control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust” ().[2][3]

3. Dangers of Lust, Pornography, and Fantasy

Pornography (including AI-generated or interactive forms) is condemned for fostering lust, distorting the meaning of sex, and undermining God’s design for intimate relationships.[5][4][1]

AI-driven sexual fantasy, even when not involving another person, still “fuels the same lustful desires that run counter to a life oriented toward holiness” and harms emotional and spiritual health.[4]

4. Human Dignity and Imago Dei

Every human is made in the image of God (). True biblical sexuality respects dignity, not objectification or fantasy alone.

The digital “pornification” of relationships, whether with real or artificial partners, undermines the unique worth of human persons created for loving relationships, not for consumption or technological simulation.[1][4]

Summary Table

Biblical Principle

Application to AI Erotica

Sexual purity & holiness

AI sexting fosters lust & impurity

Covenant unity and marital fidelity

No covenant or unity in AI fantasy

Honor God with body and mind

Digital lust violates calling

Respect for human dignity

Objectifies both users and models

Conclusion:
According to biblical teaching, sexual gratification—even through technology and with “artificial” partners—contradicts God’s purpose for sexuality, fails to honor the call to purity, and harms the soul, heart, and relational integrity of individuals and society. Christians are called to “honor God with your body” () and to pursue holiness in all aspects of life—including digital and technological practices.[2][3][4]

Europeans colonialists in what is now the US, are typically [often] described as collectively evil conquerors of peaceful native Americans ("Indians"). In the interest of balance, could you tell us how warlike Native Americans were, which tribes were so, and if they conquered other tribal lands, and engaged in slavery? And in what way did native Americans benefit from Europeans colonialists and vice versa? Note any contribution by missionary John Eliot

Perplexity.ai answers:

The historical record shows that Native American societies were as complex and diverse as those of Europe and Asia, and many were frequently involved in warfare, conquest, land appropriation, and slavery—long before and after European arrival. Here is a balanced overview:

Native American Warfare, Conquest, and Slavery

  • Warfare was widespread: Tribal warfare occurred throughout North America, most intensely in the Northeast, Southeast, and Great Plains, with tribes often having traditional enemies and engaging in cycles of raiding and conflict. These wars could be for revenge, honor, resource control, or the adoption of captives. Ritualized violence, scalping, and counting coup were part of some tribal war cultures.


  • Conquest and land control: Major tribes like the Iroquois, Comanche, and Apache became dominant by conquering neighbors, seizing territory, and establishing dominance over trade and migration routes. The Iroquois Confederacy, for instance, wiped out or subjugated rival nations during the Beaver Wars of the 17th century.


  • Slavery among tribes: Many tribes practiced slavery, often incorporating captives from rival groups after raids. Some southeastern tribes such as the Chickasaw and Yamasee captured and sold slaves to European colonists, while others integrated captives into their societies. The slave trade was sometimes intensified or transformed by European demand, but the practice predated colonization.


  • Not all tribes were warlike: Tribes of the Great Basin, Plateau, and some parts of the Southwest emphasized warfare less, but most participated in armed conflict at some level.


Mutual Influence and Benefits

Benefits for Native Americans from Europeans

  • New technologies: Access to metal tools, firearms, horses, and agricultural products transformed Native life and warfare, sometimes increasing intertribal competition.


  • Trade opportunities: Partnerships with European traders provided new economic opportunities, though also created dependencies and sometimes led to intensified conflicts over resources.


  • Religious and educational endeavors: Missionaries (notably John Eliot) brought literacy and new political and social structures. Eliot, for example, translated the Bible into the Massachusett language, organized self-governing “praying Indian” villages, and advocated for Native property rights and education.


Benefits for European Colonists from Native Americans

  • Survival and food: First settlers were taught local agriculture, hunting, and survival skills by Native Americans.


  • Trade: The fur trade grew as Native trappers supplied Europeans with pelts, while Europeans provided manufactured goods and weapons in return.


  • Military alliances: Tribes provided significant manpower to colonial powers, fighting alongside the French, English, or Spanish as critical allies in wars against rival powers and other tribes.


The Role of John Eliot

John Eliot (“Apostle to the Indians”) was a Puritan missionary who:

  • Translated the Bible and Christian literature into the Massachusett language, giving the first written script to that people.


  • Organized 14 Native self-governing villages in New England, fostering education, legal advocacy, and some protection for Natives from colonial abuses.


  • Opposed the selling of Indians into slavery, advocated for property rights, fought for legal justice for Natives, and trained Indian evangelists and teachers.


Summary Table

AspectNative American PracticeEuropean Influence/Exchange
WarfareFrequent, often ritualized; conquest and territory wars commonIntensified by firearms, horses, trade
SlaveryPracticed among many tribes, captives adopted or soldIndian slave trade increased with colonists
TechnologyStone, wood, bone tools pre-contactMetal, firearms, horses, crops introduced
GovernanceTribal councils, federations (Iroquois Confederacy)Written law, literacy, missionary advocacy
Trade/EconomyIntertribal, regional networksBeaver/fur trade, new market goods
Missionary ActivityTraditional religions, some openness to ChristianityNew education, literacy, organizational models
Mutual BenefitsSurvival, alliance, commerce, cross-cultural ideasNew crops, alliances, interpreters, guides
 
 

Conclusion:
Many Native American tribes were powerful, warlike, and expansionist, practicing internal slavery and territorial conquest before and after European contact. Both sides gained (and lost) from cultural, economic, and technological exchange. While colonization had devastating effects, it also included mutual benefit, especially in early survival, trade, and the unique role of missionaries like John Eliot in language, education, and advocacy for Native rights.
