请教如下阅读题，文中的British, White American, Native American 是对立的三方面？还是Native American只是White American 的同义替换？然后到底谁enchroach了谁？
感谢！
Historian Colin Calloway argues that in the late colonial period preceding the American
Revolution (1775-1783), the British government sought to seal off territory west of the
Appalachian Mountain from the encroachment of land-hungry White settlers, to negotiate with
Native American peoples as independent foreign states, and to guarantee the integrity of
traditional native American hunting grounds. By contrast, White Americans, released by the out
break of the Revolution from the constraints of Britain’s allegedly benevolent policies, are
portrayed by Calloway as ruthless land-grabbers whose new national government endorsed
their rapacity. Bernard Bailyn argues, however, that the “Americans” who encroached on
Native American land during the Revolution had been British only a few years before. When,
during and after the Revolution, White Americans seized Native American land by any
available means, they were continuing a tradition dating back to the earliest years of English
settlement in North America. And, according to Bailyn, the British government’s prewar efforts
to preserve the trans-Appalachian west for Native Americans resulted not from humanitarian
virtue or ethnic tolerance but from British Merchants’ desire to maintain their lucrative trade
with native Americans and the government’ s desire to control immigration and avoid costly
conflict between White and Native Americans over land.

两方观点：
C：British government 不让White侵占Native（British是好人，White是坏人）
B：British 和 White 都在掠夺 Native （British 和 White 都是坏人，Native一直被欺负）

首先：
native american一般是指土美，即印第安人，white american指北美定居的英国settlers. white american成分复杂：大革命期间大部分是支持美国新政府，有一部分支持British.

Calloway观点：
大革命之前，British government想要封锁White settlers对于territory west of the
Appalachian Mountain的侵占，且Calloway认为White settlers是非常无情的land-grabbers，这些人被大革命之后的新政府支持，Calloway认为大革命之前的Britain’s policies至少是allegedly仁慈的

Bernard观点：
大革命期间侵占native american的美国人正是a few years before的那些British，而且在大革命中和大革命后White American侵占native american的方式和他们之前的老祖宗没什么区别。大革命之前他们限制西侵也是出于贸易获益以及不想带来更多的冲突压力的考虑（也就是之前那群British并不是仁慈的）

其实这篇文章应该重点关注两种观点的对立，这是整个文章结构的核心，三个人群确实容易绕进去，你如果容易弄混就画一个小图，这样思路会清晰些
