The Wampanoags and the Puritans have 2 very different methods on raising children. Both have their own benefits and downsides. In a standard Puritan household the male gets the opportunity to receive formal education. The female is raised to believe that they should be good wives in the future and prepare by doing housework all day. When Bethia tries to learn some Latin her father says this, “Bethia, why do you strive so hard to quit the place in which God has set you?”
During this chapter it showed how Columbus was the starting point into the beginning of wars with the Indians. He shows how all the people such as Columbus, Cortes, Pizarro, and the English settlers have overcome with power and destroyed villages and took slaves. It all ended in bloodshed.

“Coming of Age in Mississippi”, a memoir by Anne Moody, details her life story from childhood through her years at college as a young adult in the prime of the civil rights movement in the rural southern United States. This book was first published by Bantam Dell Publishing in 1968, and has been deemed a classic in its recount of Moody’s personal and political struggles against racism as an African American female in the South. I believe this book’s subject matter is social in nature, and deals with many issues including race, class, gender and politics. With the above mentioned, it is my belief that this book is very relative to the social sciences field.
Sharon Powley 11 September 2015 APUSH I Overarching Question: Columbus, the Indians, and Human Progress As a generous and hospitable people, the Arawaks welcomed the Europeans with open arms, willingly traded everything they possessed and never said no if Columbus and his men asked for something of theirs. It is this kindness and naivety that Columbus used as a weapon to take advantage of the native people, force them into labor, and murdered them by the thousands in order to enforce white-supremacy and obtain gold. Due to immensely different cultural values and attitudes, the near-opposite Europeans and Arawaks could not peacefully coexist for long without strained relationships and conflicts emerging. Coming from two distinct worlds and clashing lifestyles, the Europeans and Arawaks had varying values and attitudes.
Did being faithful and strong had helped them survive? The early settlers’ attitude toward the Native Americans and their belief in their insecurity around them had helped them survive the hardships that they endured while benefitting their interaction with the natives. The experience on their journeys has aid them faced any obstacle during their survival. The main characteristics that the Pilgrims had gone through and and learned was the attitudes and faith they had upon God and the Native Americans, the problems they undergo, and their interaction with them. One of the main characteristics of the remarks was the attitudes and beliefs that they had upon the natives inhabitants.
When the Europeans began settling in the new land many cultural differences began to arise. Consequently, this left the English settlers and the natives with fear and confusion. The natives of the new land had never seen anything like the Europeans; they had white skin, huge ships, dressed differently, and they had many different weapons. Christopher Columbus in his narrative, Report of the First Voyage, described them as “timid beyond cure” (“Report of the First Voyage” 18). He also stated that when he would men ashore to contact the natives “people without number have come to them, and as soon as they saw them coming, they fled; even a father would not stay for his son” (“Report of the First Voyage” 18).
As Morton states “a brisket cake given to one, that one breaks it equally into many parts as there be persons in his company and distributes it” (369).WhatMorton wants to show the reader isthe Indians aren’t savages by the use of avisual picture of the act of compassion and a kindhearted act done by this savages. Showing the audiences what there is in America and the native culture;by vesting the power on the Indians. In comparison to the disliked Puritans, which at the time English had an idea of how the Puritans are and struggle to operate with Anglicans. Considering that Morton wasactively trading with them and had great relationship build amongst them, he view the Indian as potential business to grow his colony. If it wasn’t for the dislike of Bradford Williams who saw Morton as a threat and filled charges against him therefore leading Morton’s view having a bias toward the Puritan/Pilgrims.
The narrative offers an account which can be used to describe the particularly puritan society based on the ideals of Christianity and the European culture. It offers a female perspective of the Native Americans who showed no respect to the other religious groups. The narrator makes serious observation about her captors noting the cultural differences as well as expectations from one another in the society. However, prejudice is evident throughout the text which makes the narratives unreliable in their details besides being written after the event had already happened which means that the narrator had was free to alter the events to create an account that favored her. Nonetheless, the narrative remains factually and historically useful in providing the insights into the tactics used by the Native Americans

The Plain Indians viewed the hunting gathering life as progression and the agricultural life as grim. The age of exploration forced these Indians to work towards a so called “progression” that was
This week we discussed ‘“The Tempest” in the Wilderness: A Tale of Two Frontiers’ by Ronald Takaki. In this article, the author discusses the differences between savagery and civilization. The main argument in this argument is shown in the form of examples of how the Indians and Irish were simply harmless at first when discovering the New World, but quickly made into monsters by the English men. I’m sure we’ve all learned in history of John Smith’s description of how the Powhatans cared for the sick and dying English men.
“1491” Questions 1. Two scholars, Erikson and William Balée believe that almost all aspects of Native American life have been perceived wrong. Although some refuse to believe this, it has been proven to be the truth. Throughout Charles C. Mann’s article from The Atlantic, “1491”, he discusses three main points: how many things that are viewed as facts about the natives are actually not true, the dispute between the high and low counters, and the importance of the role disease played in the history of the Americas. When the term “Native American” is heard, the average person tends to often relate that to a savage hunter who tries to minimize their impact on their surrounding environment.
When Europeans discovered the new world, the whole world changed. The new world was named the Americas and it changed greatly when the Europeans discovered it. The Natives that inhabited the Americas were not happy with the new foreigners that had settled in their country. In Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford, the Europeans sailed to the new world and brought many new items that the Native Americans had never seen before. In Coming of Age in the Dawnland by Charles C. Mann, in this story, it talks about the differences between the Europeans and Native Americans, and the differences between the multiple Native American tribes.
Science journalist, Charles C. Mann, had successfully achieved his argumentative purpose about the “Coming of Age in the Dawnland.” Mann’s overall purpose of writing this argumentative was to show readers that there’s more to than just being called or being stereotyped as a savage- a cynical being. These beings are stereotyped into being called Indians, or Native Americans (as they are shorthand names), but they would rather be identified by their own tribe name. Charles Mann had talked about only one person in general but others as well without naming them. Mann had talked about an Indian named Tisquantum, but he, himself, does not want to be recognized as one; to be more recognized as the “first and foremost as a citizen of Patuxet,”(Mann 24).
