These Spanish Christians were honest, no grudges, and etc. According to “Brief Account of the Devastation of the Indies” there were cons about them, for instance, “…so weak and complaisant, they are less able to endure heavy labor and soon die.” The Hispaniola had a total of 12 million Native Indians on the island and blaming the church being involved somewhat.

Giancarlo Kestenholz Mrs. Norris Social Studies 8 30 March 2023 The Siege of Fort Ticonderoga Why was the Siege of Fort Ticonderoga so important? The Battle at Fort Ticonderoga in 1775 was a pivotal moment in American history. It not only demonstrated the strength of the British and Colonist militaries, but it also showcased the power of forts and the far-reaching effects of war.
Fort Ticonderoga had a been a key access point to Canada and the Hudson River Valley during the French and Indian War in 1755, so it was just as vital during the American Revolutionary War from 1775 until it was later recaptured by the British. The Continental Army realized that it would be important if they wanted to do anything in the northern part of the colonies they would need Fort Ticonderoga as a military hub. The fort was currently occupied by a British squadron. In order to capture the fort the Continental Army would need soldiers, and soldiers they got.

In this paper the short story by Olaudah Equiano Life of Olaudah Equiano and The Journal of Christopher Columbus by Christopher Columbus will be compared. I will go over various points such as descriptive details, emotional appeal, and word choice to find what the author's purpose is in these two different narratives. First I will analyze emotional appeal. The two narratives have different cover pictures, while these are not words they do give impressions.
Credibility and incredulity: A critique of Bartolomé de Las Casas‘s a short account of the destruction of the indies. The Gettysburg Historical Journal, 9. de las Casas, B. (1552). A short account of the destruction of the Indies. USA: JHU Press.
The Encomienda System, a way to give a Spaniard a restricted set of property rights over Indian labor, is created. Idealy, the plan was that Spaniards would protect, take care of, and convert, Natives and they did labor in return. In reality, the Spanish people force long labor, don’t pay workers, fail to protect Natives, and seize their land. (1517)
(130) The credibility is generally credible and thorough with respect to events and Europe, but is far less thorough in regard to the disruptions from disease and other sources that the indigenous people themselves were facing.

For countless years, the Natives suffered under the hands of the Spaniards. Slavery, abuse, war, theft, and much more were the result of Spain taking over the Natives homeland and the Native people themselves. In the year 1542, Bartoleme de Las Casas wrote a manuscript called “Brief Account of the Devastation of the Indies”, which held a very detailed account of how the natives suffered, and the actions of the Spaniards. This paper will be a brief summary and analysis of the destruction of the Indies. The Indians were said to be very moral people.

The setting is dark, enormous sea symbolizing nature. It is not an ordinary setting; rather very active in the lives of the characters and has contradictory qualities.

Scapegoating is one of the main themes of Sula. A community that feels beleaguered patrols its borders and reserves its cruelest punishment for “traitors”. It over-emphasizes centripetal belonging at the expense of centrifugal curiosity. “They were the ones who said she was guilty of the unforgivable thing – the thing for which there was no understanding, no excuse, no compassion.
