How do you think Native Americans would have responded to news about the Treaty of Tordesillas and the Line of Demarcation

1 answer:

5 0

For Native Americans at the time, it would have been next to impossible to understand something like the Treaty of Tordesillas. This treaty intended to partition tracts of land that the Europeans did not even know whether they existed, an action that may have looked like sheer madness and even dishonorable, for the Europeans claimed possession of lands they had not conquered by the force of their arms.Maybe, after some thought and analysis, Native Americans would have felt outraged as a man living in such a distant place, the Pope in Rome, who had no authority whatsoever for them, made the decision of handing over lands, people,wealth, etc, to two different groups of Europeans. Perhaps, other Native Americans, once they managed to understand that agreement so odd to them, might have found it laughable and it might have prompted them to challenge to take what was their own over their dead bodies.

Summary of zlata"s diary

kramer

ZLATA’S DIARY begins in September of 1991 as a typical fifth-grade enthusiasm, recording the beginning of school in Sarajevo and vacations to Jahorina, the “most beautiful mountain in the world.” Within six weeks, her hometown was at war, and she was soon facing deprivation and the death of friends and classmates.

Often there was no gas or electricity. Zlata and her father were forced to haul buckets of water to their apartment building. Bombs were falling continuously, forcing the family to move into their damp, dark cellar. Sometimes Zlata would be left by herself while both of her parents worked. Constantly worried about the safety of her relatives and her own well being, she feared that the war would never end and poured her deepest feelings into her beloved diary, which she named Mimmy.

Most of Zlata’s friends had moved earlier to escape the progressively worsening conflict. When bombs and shrapnel killed those who remained, she wrote in frustration: “STOP SHOOTING” and “PEACE, PEACE, PEACE!” In a final entry dated October 17, 1993, written before sending her diary “out into the world” to be published, Zlata recorded the results of a terrible day of bombing: 590 shells beginning at 4:30 a.m., six dead, fifty-six wounded. “I keep thinking that we’re alone in this hell,” she wrote. Nevertheless, she refused to yield to despair. With youthful heroes and loving family members confirming her belief in the ultimate decency of humanity, she chose to share this touching record of hope in the midst of tragedy.

What was an argument made by Virginia in support of colonial rights to cross the Ohio river?

malfutka [58]

The correct answer is D) its charter granted Virginia land across the continent.

An argument made by Virginia in support of colonial rights to cross the Ohio River was " its charter granted Virginia land across the continent."

Virginia colonists wanted to settle in the Ohio county because they wanted to trade furs with the Native American Indians. They created the Ohio Company of Virginia to purchase land in the region. It was supported by Britain and the Virginia colonist had an agreement with the Indians, but France claimed that the land was theirs. And this problem was part f the conflicts that led to the French and Indian War.
