The Aztecs believed that they lived under the sun of Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent god, god of creation, learning and the wind. The sun moves with your breath. When warriors die, their souls turn into rare feathered birds and fly to the sun.

Quetzalcoatl was the king of the City of the Gods. It was totally pure, innocent and good. No task was too humble for him. He even swept the paths for the rain gods, so that they could make it rain.

Answer:

Quetzatcoatl, the Feathered Serpent, was one of the top Aztec deities. In the Aztec culture, he was the patron of priests, inventor of the calendar and the books, protector of goldsmith and artisans. He was a symbol of death and resurrection.  In an irony of destiny, the cult of Quetzalcoatl played a curious role in the Spanish conquest of present-day Mexico. One day in the past, he had departed eastwards, but before leaving, he promised to come back. An old Aztec prophecy said that one day, he´d come back with his people, and he´d arrive from the east. When the first Spanish arrived, the emperor Moctezuma and his entourage believed that Hernán Cortés and his men were  the people of Quetzalcoatl. This fatal mistake, culturally induced, helped the Spanish to deceive the Aztecs and other Indian peoples for their conquest purposes.

Well the letters from the civil war would show us what kind of condition the slaves we’re living in how hard it much have been and, for the women who and sons and husbands who were fighting in the war and how hard that must have been for them to deal with. Historians regard these letters as an important primary source for that time period because there isn’t much to go off of and letters shows a direct point of view of what had happened during that time and how slaves and most likely how women were treated like. (I suck at saying this but does it make sense?)
