    The fascination of the voyages of Christopher Columbus will forever be told and celebrated by many. Gloria Deak answers the questions about Columbus' historic endeavor to fill in the blank spots on who he was ,what he set out to accomplish, and where he succeeded. Deak describes Columbus as a great sailor whose success in crossing the Atlantic Ocean was an unequaled feat of navigation. She goes on to explain that very little is given accurately in the information we have on him to suggest that he was the gallant Renaissance figure often depicted in schoolbooks. She paints Columbus as an imaginative, courageous, and contained man with a capacity for extreme cruelty. One key aspect to his character she nailed down was his intense religiosity. He had a deep-seated belief in the Bible and logic of destiny that was noticeably messianic.…

    It is important to point out that English settlers were a definite majority of those in North America during the entire eighteenth century. However, the proportion declined from about twenty to one in 1700 to only about three to one by 1775. So a good essay should point out that the significance of non-English groups was increasing. The next task is to select three groups from the list and describe the influence of each. Of the non-English settlers, the largest group consisted of Africans, most of whom were enslaved and forced to immigrate. The…

    Since the beginning of the 19th century students have been told inaccurate information about the native people of America. Usually, Americans learn in school that the ancestors of the people who were established in the Western Hemisphere at the time of Columbus’s landing had crossed the Bering Strait twelve thousand years ago. They supposedly lived primarily in small, nomadic bands, and lived lightly on the land so that the Americas was, for the most part, still a vast wilderness. But Mann makes it clear that anthropologists and archaeologists have spent the last thirty years proving many conventions wrong. In 1491 the author explains there were probably more people living in the Americas than in Europe.…

    The natives once greeting the new comers to their island were very polite. Some of the natives thought of Columbus as a messenger from god, a savior. Soon enough Columbus would realize this and take advantage. He sought to take over all remaining money and recourses from the Native Americans. But not only did he have to take away all of there personal items he had to take their faith. Beyond all of the wealth, Columbus decided to convert all natives into Catholicism. In fact it had turned out to be Columbus’s plan from the beginning. On the day of arrival on October 12, 1492 he wrote, “They should all be good servants…I our lord being pleased, will take hence at the time of my departure” As clearly shown Columbus had a cruel and dictator like mind to turn all natives into his servants or…

    Even though they may tarnish his glorified image, textbooks should include facts such as Columbus’ use of coercion and slavery, introduction of diseases that ultimately decimated the Native population, and the forced conversion of natives to Christianity. When Columbus first reached the Americas, he wrote in his journal, “ [the Native Americans] show as much lovingness as though they would give their hearts."…

    In the early history of the 1600's, North America had been discovered and establishment of the New World had begun. Although Spain and England both focused on the colonization and exploration of the Americas, their ambitions and goals were very different.

    The letter quotes, “…where I discovered many islands, thickly people, of which I took possession without resistance…” Throughout the letter, Columbus emphasizes the natives’ characteristics as being timid and fearful; he declares that he and his crew did not cause these qualities rather that they were naturally that way. Columbus states, “..on the contrary, I gave to all I approached whatever articles I had about me..” Columbus established a giving relationship with the Indians in order to placate them; Columbus hoped to turn the natives into Christians and he thought that in the future they might be willing to gather and send any abundance of items and goods they had to Europe. Overall, Columbus had a respectable opinion of the natives; he saw them as of very clear understanding having gotten an extremely clear description of surrounding territory. “I did not find, as some of us expected, cannibals amongst them, but on the contrary, men of great deference and kindness.”…

    In Christopher Columbus’ journal of his first voyage it describes to us his first impressions of the people he met on the Caribbean islands. Columbus describes how friendly and innocent they look as a whole. Columbus is wrote on how he was interested on converting the Native peoples religion to Christianity “people who would be better freed [from error] and converted to our Holy Faith by love than by force”(Dunn). Columbus also noticed how peaceful the natives were and how they did not want to fight “They are very gentle and do not know what evil is; nor do they kill others, nor steal; and they are without weapons and so timid that a hundred of them flee from one of our men even if our men are teasing them.”(Dunn) The Natives were so peaceful and such a pleasant encounter for Columbus to have that he seemed to enjoy.…
