I think that the Abame tribe was so violent to the white evangelists partly because they were confused. Being confused often makes people scared. It also tends to make people either very defensive or offensive. These people probably became both defensive and offensive. This is why they were so opposed to the Christian ideas. Since they were confused by the chrisitian ideas, they probably lashed out on the Christians. They also found it weird how they didn't die even though the Christians were in the evil forest. This probably caused them think that the Christians were demons since they could survive in a the evil forest. Since no one wants to be around demons the Abame tribe probably attacked them for this reason. Most of the people that joined Christians to escape from there home life. The Abame tribe probably also attacked the Chirstians because they thought that the Christians were taking people from there village.
