History

Tcecarenko [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Well, I figure it depends on the individual you're asking. On one hand, Sir Francis Drake was adored in Britain, particularly by the Ruler, since his investigations brought numerous wealth to his domestic nation. On the other hand, he was a privateer, so to say, since he stole that gold and wealth from other ships he came over. Also, he was portrayed as "ruthless, self-important, self-willed, avaricious, money-minded, and flippant" man, so I figure he would be more of a lowlife than a hero.

Well, I guess it depends on the person you're asking.
On one hand, Sir Francis Drake was loved in England, especially by the Queen, because his explorations brought many riches to his home country. On the other hand, he was a pirate, so to say, because he stole that gold and riches from other ships he came across. Additionally, he was described as <span>"ruthless, arrogant, self-willed, covetous, money-minded, and amoral" man, so I guess he would be more of a villain than a hero.</span>

A difference between spanish and french settlers in north america was that
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Spanish settlements in North America had one purpose only: to protect their shipments of gold and silver from competing European powers. The first successful settlement in North America, St. Augustine, Florida was built to protect Spanish fleets from attack by privateers. The statement above that the Spanish had "big cities. large farms" is patently incorrect.

It should be noted that the first successful rebellion in America; Pope's rebellion, also known as the Pueblo revolt, was the result of numerous failed promises on the part of the Spanish. Four hundred Spaniards were killed in the revolt and the Spanish lost control of New Mexico.

What does the term "white mans burden" refer to
emmasim [6.3K]
The term "white mans burden" refers to imperialism, Eurocentric racism and Western aspirations to dominate the developing world. However, this phrase did not start as a broad term but was a poem by Rudyard Kipling about the colonization of the Philippines by the United States after taking it from Spain during the Spanish-American War.

Read the sentence from Life on the Mississippi. He raged and stormed so (he was crossing the river at the time) that I judge it
malfutka [58]
I would say "I judge it made him blind" shows the realism of this man's seemingly angry state. The speaker sees that this man's anger has exceeded his "mental vision", shall we say. The man isn't sure of what he's doing, except that he must do something to feed and calm the anger.
I'm sorry if this doesn't help, but that's how I see it as realism.
