He was a lawyer, five term govenor of Virginia and member of the Virginia House of Burgesses. He fought for the Bill of Rights and was an important figure in the American Revolution. "Born on May 29th, 1736 in Studley, Virginia, he was the son of John Henry and Sarah Winston". During his childhood he attended a local school and was later tutored by his father.

    When thinking about the Social History involved in Dispossessing the Wilderness, the Civil war comes to mind up. Spencer writes that prior to the war the Americans and Indians tensions were okay. The Americans saw Indians and the wilderness as one. He mentions that it wasn’t until “after” the civil war started that the Americans and Indians tensions rose. This was due to many numerous frontier battles that occurred along the great western planes. It was after this time that the Americans started to view the Indians as “evil savages”. Here we are introduced to the concept of perception and how that alters social history.…

    Before the Europeans made contact with the Native Americans that had already came up with their own thoughts and beliefs towards them. The Europeans felt superior to all other people and cultures that weren’t their own. It was as if their way of life was the only way to be and live. This way of thinking is basically to otherize a person or group of people. The Europeans had never encountered the Native Americans before but they imagine them to be barbaric because they did not seem to have a form of government and had what they felt was too much freedom.…

    It seemed like one of his main goals after he started writing must have been to change people’s minds about what their image of an “Indian” is. “It was always about Plains, Indians, or the Navahos (42).” In this part of the story he said that the books they were assigned to read at school about Indians were written by non-Indians and had a sort…

    Columbus treated the Native Americans intolerably when he arrived to the New World. Upon arrival, his plan was for him and his crew to exasperate, ravage, kill, mangle, and destroy the Natives, as well as acquire gold from their king (Document 7). He and his crew committed harrowing crimes against the Indians that were irreversible and deadly. He forcefully made Natives strip mountains top to bottom, split rocks, move stones, and carry dirt to the rivers to be panned out for gold; this put great pain into the Natives lives. Also, Columbus ordered for the Natives to carry him and his…

    Granted Ben Franklin meant well when writing the "Remarks Concerning the Savages of North America", it was not always taken that way. At first glimpse he makes it seem like he agrees with what the "white people" were saying about the Indians, but that was not the case. He suggests that the Native Americans should not have been treated so bad because they did not practice the same civility as others. Ben Franklin also thought that the Native Americans should have been welcomed instead of made fun and treated like circus clowns. He also treated them in a favorable light by opening his mind to their culture. On the other hand John Smith treated them in a negative light by thinking of them as slaves. He used the Native Americans, and not just for work but for supplies and shelter. He would tell them he would give them copper and other things in return for their labor. If you really look closely at how John Smith treated them you would see how history is repeating itself today.…

For example, he refers to the elderly woman whom he is conversing with as "white" (line 1), which gives the impression he is not; there would be no real reason of mentioning skin color unless it was important to him. He is also very negative about the white woman's definition of history. The woman says, "'Look, / look at all the history,…
