    ” Knowing this we can ask ourselves what were the colonist goals whenever they started the rebellions and protests? Did they start out wanting to completely overthrow their government? Not knowing every colonist’s thoughts makes it hard to have a set yes or no if the latter was what was planned.

And it induces regular effects of power. Each society has its regime of truth‚ its “general politics” of truth: that is‚ the types

    21. Both Native Americans and White Colonists thought that each group was “wasting” their own land. Colonists believed that the Natives weren’t using and spreading their land to its fullest potential while the Natives had never fathomed the fact that you could have individual ownership over an acre of space. New England life varied from other colonial regions because:
1. It was less ethically mixed than the middle or southern regions. Ideas such as black slavery did not excel‚ and it was an almost

    Chap. 5 Text Ch5.1 – “I am not a Virginian‚ but an American‚” declared Patrick Henry in 1775.
