From “American Colonies” by Alan Taylor. I think this pretty much nails it, the expansionist goals of the colonizer necessitated dispossessing Indigenous peoples, which lead to the creation of the idea of “race” in North America
![To give servants greater hope for the future, in 1705 the assembly [of the Chesapeake colony] revived the headright system by promising each freedman fifty acres of land, a promise that obliged the government to continue taking land from the Indians. Frontier wars urged poor whites to see a better future in the dispossession of Indians rather than in rebellion against the colonial elite. In eighteenth-century Virginia, the path of least resistance was expansion outward rather than rebellion within.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:46hgeu33l2tnc5jcu7oig4ew/bafkreifjquz2mhabcn2xkorxosrkpp5mgwg4yibzwx3sklieozzdl735le@jpeg)
