Their Safe Arrival Cape Cod Analysis
In "Their Safe Arrival Cape Cod" the Englishmen arrive safely in Cape Cod after a brutal trip across the sea. They referred to the Natives as savage barbarians after trespassing/robbing supplies from a Native's home.. The text said "But these savage barbarians when they met with them (as after will appear) were readier to fill their sides with arrows than otherwise," There only reason for thinking this way is because the Natives look defensive towards foreigners known for betrayal. The Englishman believe everything they do was an act of God so they didn't have to worry about eternal consequences or others traditions. They claimed their landings to be separating them from civil parts in the world. William writes "If they looked behind them,

    'New World' By Richard Cohen Analysis

    Cohen makes a good case against the hypocritical reasons that the British gave for their treatment of the Native Americans. First, the British did not value the civilization they thrust themselves upon even though it had been successful for thousands of years. The "new world" was not technologically advanced like many European inventions such as the globe, and the black powder weapon; which gave the British the idea that their superior knowledge made them worth more as human beings. Submission to their rule was only alternative for Native Americans. Failing that, then force and treachery were a way to handle the "savages".…

    Ronald Kokaki's From A Different Mirror For Young People

    To back this theory up in Ronald Takaki’s book From a Different Mirror For Young People he says on page 33 paragraph three “William Tucker went to a Powhatan village to make a peace treaty. After they had signed the treaty, he persuaded the Indians to drink a toast- then served them poisoned wine, killing an estimated two hundred” this just proves our point showing how low the colonists stopped to get rid of the native Americans. But the real question is who really is the savage, well the definition of a savage is fierce and violent. It might just be our opinion but we think that colonists, in general, showed more violence toward the native Americans than they showed to the colonists. This period in American history is a truly interesting and complex time filled with many tragic moments but with an equal amount of heroic but over all the bad trumps the good and leaves us with a good story and opportunities to see from a different perspective. But more important it leads to a new way of thinking and the beginning of a truly amazing…

    Patrick Carr Influence

    Patrick Carr was born between 1739 and 1740. He was an Irish journeyman and apprentice to “Mr. Field, a ‘leather-breeches-maker’” ‘material made by tanning animal skin - short pants that end at the knee - maker’ (Boston 1775). Carr grew up in Ireland and was familiar with soldiers and street mobs. So on March 5th, 1770, (date of the Boston Massacre) Carr probably knew that the British were the insinuators of the disturbance. While traversing the street, the soldiers fired and…

    The Narrative Of Arthur Barlowe: England's Colonization

    In 1604 in the narrative from Thomas Harriot he talks about a disease that killed a lot of the natives. “The disease also so strange that they neither knew what it was, nor how to cure it, the like by report of the oldest men in the country never happened before, time out of mind”. The natives even believed that the English were some sort of God because none of them got the disease. He does not mention anything regarding the land but he said some of the natives were their friends so this means they still had a good relationship with the natives. Three years later in 1607 John Smith’s narrative talks only about the struggles they had with the natives. He mentions that they called this period “the starving time”. According to him there was not much food that even one man killed his wife and ate her. “As for corn, provision and contribution from the savages, we had nothing but mortal wounds, with clubs and arrows”. In this narrative you could see how the natives are no longer friendly and now they are…

    Smith writes about the lifestyle Pilgrims came to know: “If he have but the taste of virtue, and magnanimitie, what to such a minde can bee more pleasant, then planting and building a foundation for his Posteritie, gotte from the rude earth, by Gods blessing and his owne industrie, without prejudice to any?” (50) He then talks about spreading the word of God to the Indians: “If hee have any graine of faith or zeale in Religion, what can hee doe lesse hurtfull to any; or more agreeable to God, then to seeke to convert those poore Salvages to know Christ and humanitie…” (50) The Pilgrims came to a world so vast and incredible, with so much opportunity to thrive. He talks about hunting, fishing, planting, and you can hear the enthusiasm in his words. “…and yet you shall see the wilde haukes give you some pleasure, in seeing them stoope (six or seaven after one another) and houre or two together, at the skuls of fish in the faire harbours, as those ashore at a foule; and never trouble nor torment your selves, with watching, mewing, feeding, and attending them…” (51) He’s bursting with excitement about everything the “new world” has to offer. He literally tells everyone in England to make the voyage. “But that each parish, or village, in Citie, or Countrey, that will but apparell their fatherlesse children, of thirteene or fourteen years of age, or young married people, that have small wealth to live on; heere by their labour may live exceeding well: provided always that first there bee a sufficient power to command them, houses to receive them, meanes to defend them, and meet provisions for them.” (52) Smith is incredibly passionate…

    The Puritans Came To North America

    Puritans, now known as pilgrims, came to North America. They brought prominent Miles Standish,who was a soldier. They thought it was destined that Native Americans would vehemently attack them and Miles would bravely protect them. In 1620, the puritans sailed to America on the Mayflower to arrive in outstanding Cape Cod. As soon as they arrived most of them stayed aboard the Mayflower to avoid the harsh winter. After the horrid winter they built a colony as amazing as a back flip. In case of an encounter with the indians, Captain Standish verily set up five cannons off the Mayflower on a nearby hill as a defense. It wasn’t until March when the colony filled up with trepidation as Native Americans were spotted. Soon after, Samoset, who…

    A: The natives did not own any land or property, which in the English eyes were the same as not being superior. According to the English, the Natives did not take care of the land, which by the way is a misconception since they did take care of the land, just not the way that the English were used to. The Natives lacked traits of the English civilization such as religion, culture, government, education etc. The English came to North America with knowledge in technology, agriculture, trade, etc., knowledge that the natives did not have or lacked. “White” stood for purity, beauty and properness. The natives were dark, which was usual for someone working hard labor outside in the sun. All of the points above were reasons to why the English thought themselves to be superior to the Natives.…

    The English and Spanish arrived in Americas with a plan to expand themselves, acquire land, acquire profitable trade and gain power.
