Bob martin 9/20/12 Cruelty in the Commonwealth In the Disney film Pocahontas it is said that the English were improving the lives of the “savages”. This movie gives the impression that the English settlers of the New World were coming to Christianize and educate the Native Americans. However, in Camilia Townsend’s, “Pocahontas and the Powhtan Dilemma,” it is clear that this is not true. In the preface Townsend states, “The English wanted to be lords of the manor, and they wanted the Indians to be something akin to serfs(p. xi).” Through Townsend’s interpretation of the life of Pocahontas it is clear that the English intent for colonial America was not based on good will, but remorseless cruelty. In 1607, a boat from England arrived in the New World.
In the 1827 certificate, FitzGibbon said that Mrs Secord had come “on the 22d day of June 1813,” and that “in consequence of this information” he had placed the Indians in a position to intercept the Americans. Thus he made it clear that Laura’s warning had indeed made the victory possible at Beaver Dams. It was a significant victory, and for her part in it Laura Secord became justly known as the heroine of the War of 1812. Laura Secord typified pioneer women in her courage, endurance, and resolution in the face of adversity. FitzGibbon remembered her as a person of “slender frame and delicate appearance,” but underneath was a strong and persistent will.
The policy she advocated was based on the assumption that it was both inevitable and desirable for the Indians to be assimilated into white society and for their tribal culture to be rapidly destroyed. In 1870 she held a post with the Women’s National Indian Association as administrator of funds from which small loans were made to Indians so that they might buy their own lands and build homes. Then, in 1879, she met Thomas Henry Tibbles—frontiersman, minister, journalist, and ardent worker in the cause of Indian rights—and asked that she be allowed to take part in his work on the frontier. Tibbles found it difficult to take seriously the plans of the small, seemingly delicate woman, already 40 years old and a product of city life, but Alice Fletcher prevailed. On September 1, 1881, she arrived in Omaha, Nebraska, to begin work on field studies that were to become standard references in North American ethnology.
The Unscholarly Approach to Analyzing the Historical Figure of Doña Marina According to historical accounts, Doña Marina played a key role as an interpreter for Hernan Cortés during the Conquest of New Spain. Doña Marina, also known as La Malinche, was born around 1502 in a Mexican province known as Coatzacoalcos. As a young girl, Marina was given up by her mother to travelling traders, and she eventually came into the hands of Cortés. Cortés found Marina extremely valuable to his cause for conquest because she spoke both Nahuatl, the language spoken by the Aztec, and the dialects of the natives of Tabasco (Candelaria 6), and eventually Spanish. Cortés became almost completely dependent on her for her language capabilities and her understanding of native culture (Greenblatt 145).
This lead to women, such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, bringing about the Declaration of Sentiments. The Declaration of Sentiments has been credited as being the base for the 19th Amendment. As we will learn, both of these historical documents brought about major changes not only in our governments structure but also the way we live our lives today. The Declaration of Independence was written by the citizens of the 13 colonies to the tyrannical King George III concerning his oppression of the colonies. The purpose of the Declaration of Independence was the people trying to fight for their freedom, which at the time meant political justice and insubordination to King George III.
Dr. Caroline Bowden is the general editor for the research project titled ‘Who were the Nuns? A Prosopographical Study of the Exiled English Convents 1600 – 1800’ and has been the lead influence to its funding. The background information for this project as Bowden stated in a podcast with interviewer, Dr. Andrew Foster, is that ‘the concept had come out of her PhD research which looked at girls education, the comparison between catholic and protestant girls when she realized how nuns had a separate world from this topic and because they were difficult to find information on then the world should know more about them’
The Indians then changed when the Indian King's daughter, Pocahontas, wanted to help the settlers. When the Indians heard that the settlers had converted Pocahontas into a Christian they grew hostile again. In 1622 when John Martin was leading the Virginia Colony he said "The first it is pformed by haueinge some 200 Souldiers on foote, Contynuallie harrowinge and
She married King Philip of Spain and re-established the old religion. During her five-year reign some 300 heretics were burned at the stake although Mary was certainly not the worst of the Tudors. When Mary died in 1558, Elizabeth, daughter of Anne Boleyn, succeeded her half-sister as Queen Elizabeth I.Elizabeth I (1558-1603) strengthened the English Reformation and considerably improved England's position in Europe. She stimulated foreign commerce and English colonial expansion. A number of English trade companies were established overseas during her reign, e.g.
Saint Joan of Arc, nicknamed The Maid of Orléans is considered a national heroine of France and a Catholic saint. A peasant girl born in eastern France who claimed divine guidance, she led the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years' War, which paved the way for the coronation of Charles VII. She was captured by the Burgundians, sold to the English, tried by an ecclesiastical court, and burned at the stake when she was 19 years old. Twenty-five years after the execution, Pope Callixtus III examined the trial, pronounced her innocent and declared her a martyr. Joan of Arc was beatified in 1909 and canonized in 1920.
