Question

There were many alliances formed between Native Americans and the colonists. Sometimes these alliances were for purposes of greater protection. Give an example from your own life, or the life of someone you know, where you or somebody else formed a clique or group in order to feel safe. If you have not experienced this, imagine a situation in which you might.

Answer 1

Imagination: I remember walking to school everyday and I would always pass by a suspicious part of the neighborhood. The neighborhood itself was dangerous and was known for having a lot of robberies and drugs being sold. In order to feel safer I made a group with a lot of my friends and new people. We agreed to walk together in order to not feel as vulnerable and to have each others backs.
