A Discourse to Promote Colonization (1584)
1. Hakluyt’s arguments for colonization included agricultural use of the land, spread of their religion, easy to travel to (for trade), it would increase money in the economy because they would stop trade with other countries, they could increase their realm with their wealth that they earn from colonization of America, and they could defeat their enemies with their new found wealth. Some of the arguments are more persuasive the others after four hundred years. The amount of money they would earn from colonizing the New World is less persuasive because although it would increase their economy, England would not be wealthy enough to defeat multiple European countries.
2. The arguments that were pertaining to England’s internal conditions were the arguments that stated the raw goods England would be receiving and the foreign commodities cheaply purchased. Others included cheaply made ships for travel and the massive amounts of wealth England would obtain. In one particular argument, it mentions that the Queen of England shall be in charge of the colonization and be reported to with information dealing with America.
3. Hakluyt’s proposed colonies were more important as sources of raw materials because of all the new and unused materials there that would be free. Markets would have no use in America because there isn’t any markets and the Native Americans would have no money value to pay for anything.

The Indians noticed that the colonists had no women among them and assumed they could not be born as women,
