    A huge problem in settling Charles Town was the Native Americans being aggressive towards settlers. Document E states “We are continually insulted by the Indians.” The Natives were constantly treating the settlers in Charles Town poorly. “We expect shortly troops for Gen. Amherst, which I trust will be able to manage these savage enemies.” (Doc E) The settlers had so many issues with the Natives that they called in General Amherst to help control the Native Americans.…

    In the beginning of Mary Rowlandson’s narrative the Natives aren't so nice. The Natives had rebelled against the English Settlers, killing their men and capturing the women and children. Mary Rowlandson and her children are captured. Mary talks about how she is starved, and threatened to be punished if she doesn't do what she is asked, but the hardships that Mary endured were nothing compared to what the Native Americans endured during their enslavement by the English…

    Also, Indians gave them trouble time to time. What Captain Christopher Newport did as soon as he landed was building a fort and trying to make friends with Indians. Yet, when he came back, he found that two hundred of Powhatan’s warriors had attacked the fort. Even afterward, uneasiness with Indians continues throughout. Nonetheless, important thing to notice is that many mistakes of settlers are offspring of the poor organization and direction of the colony. The way leaders were picked didn’t help the colony, not to mention that the council members spent most of their time bickering and intriguing against one another. Later, John Smith came to rescue by putting people to work, but that changed again when the Virginia Company came to take over. Smith’s confidence in him self and his willingness to act while other talked over came most of the handicaps imposed by the feeble frame of government. It was smith who kept the colony going those years. But in doing so he dealt more decisively with the Indians than with his own quarreling countrymen, and he gave Initial turn to the colony’s Indian relations that was not quite what the company had…

    The first step towards a better relationship is to relocate the Natives to a designated area suitable for their simple way of life with plenty of resources and where no harm will come of them, and no further uprising and revolts may erupt. An area that is out of the way of the colony’s further expansion. Along with their lush lands, the colonies should supply the Natives the means to learn our ways by building them schools, trading posts, and other businesses to catch up the Native’s technologies. This will allow our relationship to better develop and intertwine our communities. First and foremost we must thrive for peace before the colony's hold over the region becomes too much to handle and lose this land altogether. The first to explore this land come to this new country and wrote that when they first came to meet these Natives that at first meeting them they were afraid but eventually made gestures of peace and welcoming. John Smith, captain of one of the first to explore these…

    Mary Rowlandson was an English woman born in 1636. Her parents were John and Joan White. They had moved to Massachusetts in the year of 1639. They were a Puritan family and strongly devoted to their religion. Mary Rowlandson was especially devoted. She went through what is called King Philip’s War. The Indians following Metacomet raided the homes of Plymouth. During this war about 5,000 Indians were killed and about 2,500 colonists were killed. Mary was moved and sold, along with many others including her children, by the Indians(213). The Indians beat, starved, tortured, dehydrated, and killed the colonists that they took. Some of the Indians were not abusive towards their “property” or slaves. Some were gentle and helped the colonists in their time of need.…

    Anne Hutchinson- She was a Puritan. She came to the Americas so she could have religious freedom, but when she settled in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, she found out that there wasn’t any “religious freedom.” She believed that all you needed was faith to go to Heaven. She started a women’s club and was soon recognized by many. The men (esp. John Winthrop) started to get worried that she could possibly become a leader. Remember that women were below men in those days, so anything they said wasn’t really heard. So what Anne was doing was kind of a “threat” to the men. John Winthrop then took her into custody, because he accused her of Antinomianism. This action led to the famous “Antinomian Controversy” in 1636-1637. She was convicted and ended up being banished from the colony. Anne Hutchinson’s story shows us the hardships endured by women in those days, and the value of freedom.…

    She uses the fact she is a vulnerable female against Crooks and is very racist towards him. ‘Well you keep your trap shut then, Nigger. I could get you strung up on a tree so easy it ain’t even funny.’ This is a definite threat to Crooks. This shows that the social attitudes at the time were extremely racist and she chooses him because he is the most weak and least able to defend himself. She was going to accuse him of sexual assault and his black skin she knew would add to the problem. This gives her some status and power despite her because she is the only woman though her unpopular husband actually makes her an outcast on the farm. Nobody will want to converse with her because they fear her husband, and because they would automatically tar her with the same brush as they had him, which is to be extremely unreasonable and disrespectful, not to mention…

    Oration of Chief Seattle

    • 652 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Respect is shown to the Governor and the whites at the beginning by Chief Seattle because he approaches them in a friendly manner which shows he understands white’s superior status. The choice of diction really helps persuade the governor especially when he refers to him as “the great, and 'the good white chief” throughout the text. Chief Seattle's goal here is to make the governor support his oration despite the underlying mocking of the whites and their intelligence. When the Chief takes full responsibility on the plight of his people this causes him to gain respect and admirability of the Governor even though most likely he felt quite opposite of this the Chief knew his goal was to persuade the Governor and thats exactly what he was doing. Another way he tried to gain the Governor’s support was when he blames his own Native soldiers during the warfare between them and the whites saying their “hearts are black” to show that he knows that his people are wrong. Chief Seattle knows exactly what he is doing with every word he attempts to tell the Americans what they want to hear this shows how easily it was to influence the whites and despite the fact the Natives were “inferior” they were very underestimated by the whites.another method used by the chief was to increase his credibility when he uses a simile saying “my words are like stars that never change,”(line3) this shows the Governor that he is willing to cooperate with the whites. Throughout…

    Each individual person has an opinion. What they choose to believe in all depends on what they want themselves to think. We can all pretend we live in a nice happy place where there are no problems, such as to believe that the English settlers came in strictly for peace and strictly for that one reason alone, but life isn’t always how they portray it to be. Where are these happy endings where everyone is nice and if they were not, they were later regretful of their malicious actions. People are ruthless; instead of peaceful settlers setting out to explore a new world and try to learn about it’s mysterious ways with the help of natives, Pocahontas was in all reality captured by the English settlers and was forced to abide not only by their customs, but by their religious thoughts, and indigenous ways. After her unwanted adventure, she was “let” by the English settlers to have a second “opportunity” to go over to Europe, and explore a new world for her people and learn about the “right” ways to live…

    In the popular story shown by the movie, Captain John Smith arrived in America along with a royal charter from England. Disease, lack of supplies, and animosity with regional Native Americans threatened the settlement’s success, so Smith set out on a mission to find supplies and trade. On his journey, Native Americans captured him and brought him before Chief Powhatan. Right when he was about to be executed, the chief’s daughter, Pocahontas, jumped in front of him to prevent his being killed. This moment— when Pocahontas kept John Smith from being killed—may contain a bit of truth in this embellished story. In the Powhatan tribe, some women had the power to determine the fate of captives (Brown). The film continues with John Smith living as a prisoner among the Powhatan people, who are depicted as an ideal, peaceful people, living in perfect harmony. The film exaggerates, but the Powhatan people did have a place and a job for every member of their tribe. Women were in charge of farming, raising children, and spiritual rituals, while men hunted, fished, and took the role as warriors. Men and women’s roles complemented each other. Because of women’s equal importance, lineage wealth and political power was shared among females, as well as males (Brown). Women were treated with respect, which the film portrays beautifully, although…
