A New Voyage To Carolina Summary

John Lawson wrote the book “A new Voyage to Carolina” in 1674-1711about the life changing experiences he had with Native Americans and how they impacted his life in many different ways for example he was very fascinated with the art of dancing, the way Native Americans danced was very strange yet incredibly amusing. Mr. Lawson saw dances that looked like it was turning into a fight and at the same time they were moving slowly without making any noises at all which he admired a lot. Marriage was a different and strange thing for Mr. Lawson and company, they witnessed firsthand what it was like to get married in a different way. It almost seemed like the Native woman knew exactly what they were doing in order to get what they wanted and it was strange to see how the side of the native’s family agreed to let one of them become one with a new comer.
Lawson wrote, it seems like this would be a marriage that wouldn’t last for too long since she only showed interest in what he had and not about the feelings. Mr. Lawson was somehow thinking that things would go smooth for both parties since the needs of the Europeans could be taken care of easily by the environment and that they could easily share in abundance what this “new world” had to offer for them, of course the only people to really believe this are the young and ambitious guys who did not have anything to lose, and the plans were to move the Native Americans to another part that benefited them in many different ways which was not the case at all. If I was an Englishmen I would be really excited to go to the Carolinas since according to Mr. Lawson this is the definition of paradise for anyone who wants a fresh start, especially if I was a second son of a family or someone with a family and unemployed back in Europe. I would not have much to make me think about it twice since I can make money and not worry about the Natives at
