    Primary Source 4 Analysis

    Even though these sources happen in different years, they still have something in common. They described the Indians. The way they lived, how they dressed, their beliefs. Columbus even force Indians to go with him and learn he’s language. In primary source four Bartolome de Las Casas stated “God has created all these numberless people to be quiet the simplest, with malice or duplicity, most obedient, most faithful to their natural lords, and to the Christians, whom they serve..” this emphasizes on how Indians were not immoral people, they didn’t deserve what they lived through. As one reads HIST 4 by Kevin M. Schultz, we learn that not every detail comes in the textbook. In the primary sources we learn plenty more about Indians then in the textbook.…

    Activity 3: Using Sources

    The first thing I learned was the 2 different ways to use sources to argue. The first way to use a source is by agreeing with the source (Atias, Lennard, & Zuckerman, 2013). This can be done in two ways. One way is to use the research that other sources have done (Atias, Lennard, & Zuckerman, 2013). Using the research of others can help to lay a foundation for a paper’s argument. (Atias, Lennard, & Zuckerman, 2013). The other way to agree with a source is by agreeing with the overall argument of the source, and adding to the source’s argument (Atias, Lennard, & Zuckerman, 2013). This works well for cross disciplinary…

    Credible/Non Credible Sources

    Credible sources are always a topic for debate. What is a credible source and what is not a credible source. By definition, credible means “offering reasonable grounds for being believed.” ("Merriam-Webster", 2011) Therefore a credible source is information that is true and believable. One of the sources that we discussed and debated in class is Wikipedia. “Wikipedia is an online open-content collaborative encyclopedia.......” "Wikipedia:general Disclaimer" (2011) So what about Wikipedia does or does not make it a credible source. Below I will discuss the debate outcomes, the arguments between both sides, and my reasoning for choosing the against side.…

    Primary Source Analysis Common Sense

    In result of The Seven Years’ War Britain controlled American trade and territory. In order to pay for the expenses of the war several taxation acts and military presence were implemented such as the Sugar Act, Stamp Act, Currency Act, Quartering Act and the presence of British troops at the colonies. Consequently, Americans who thought these actions violated their political and constitutional liberties opposed these policies with petitions, boycotts, and resistance strategies known as the Imperial Crisis. In January 1776 Thomas Paine’s Common Sense was composed to convince Americans of the need for independence from British rule and establishment of democracy. This pamphlet was written in common language to appeal to lower class citizens, rather than written in Latin, which was aimed towards the small elite. Also, Paine made several biblical references to appeal to his the people and King George III, “the Pharaoh of England” (Thomas Paine, Common Sense). Ironically, Thomas Paine was an English immigrant; however he offered a good perspective on the importance of American independence. Thomas Paine, John Adams and Dr. Benjamin Rush consisted of a group who fought for American independence by constructing the pamphlet. Attacking the English government, Paine states, “Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil in its worst state an in tolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamities is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer!” (Thomas Paine, Common Sense).…

    The source is a speech delivered by Woodrow Wilson on January 8th 1918; the speech was delivered among Woodrow’s fellow congressmen in the American congress. However, the speech was not written purely by Wilson, During World War I, Walter Lippmann became an adviser to President Woodrow Wilson and assisted in the drafting of the speech. The several points covered in Wilson’s speech aimed to resolve territorial issues in Europe, as well as improving post-war American diplomacy. To achieve this Wilson supported the League of Nations which was set up following the end of war. The speech therefore was not focused purely for American congress, but instead the International stage.…
