"For the natives, they are near all dead of smallpox, so as the Lord hathe [has] cleared our title to what we possess." —John Wi

nthrop, first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony "[Thank God for sending] smallpox, etc. to lessen their numbers: so that the English, in comparison with the Spaniard, have but little Indian blood to answer for." —John Archdale, governor of South Carolina, 1695–1696 What do these quotations tell you about English attitudes toward American Indians?

This passage expresses some of the negative attitudes that English settlers had towards American Indians.

First, the quotes serve to highlight the fact that colonists did not feel particularly bad for the deaths of the natives, as they show no empathy towards them. They were most likely indifferent to the loss of culture and the disruption of family life that this caused as well.

Moreover, it shows that they knew the reasons why the Indians were dying (smallpox), but had no interest in taking any measures to prevent it.

Third, they show a sense of entitlement over the lands of the indigenous people. As most of them have died, and the population cannot defend itself, they have no problem in taking their land forcefully.

Finally, by comparing themselves to the Spanish, they also show awareness of the destruction and chaos that colonial powers have created in other places, and are thankful that they did not have to engage in a difficult war with the Native Americans.

Answer:

The quotations show that the English did not see the spread of smallpox as a bad development. On the contrary, they were delighted by this turn of events. The English military in the Americas, in fact, helped spread the disease. Some English commanders urged their troops to try to spread smallpox by giving infected blankets to the Indians. Because smallpox and other diseases wiped out millions, the English were able to capture territories once controlled by American Indians.

Was the US right to fight communism around the world? Why?​
vova2212 [387]
During World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union fought together as allies against the Axis powers. However, the relationship between the two nations was a tense one. Americans had long been wary of Soviet communism and concerned about Russian leader Joseph Stalin’s tyrannical rule of his own country. For their part, the Soviets resented the Americans’ decades-long refusal to treat the USSR as a legitimate part of the international community as well as their delayed entry into World War II, which resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of Russians. After the war ended, these grievances ripened into an overwhelming sense of mutual distrust and enmity.

Edmentum Answers:

Boy Picking Berries: A young boy squats in a field picking berries of bushes. He seems quite young to be working for a living. The conditions of the work look difficult.

Garment Workers: A mother and her two children sit in a room sewing clothes. Seeing children working at home like this indicates that there were even more child laborers than those visible in factories, farms, and street corners. I wonder whether these children have time to go to school or have to work all day.

My answers:

Nine-Year Old Newsgirl: A little girl is standing by a street trying to give out newspapers. There is a man on the side walking by that looks like he has one of her newspapers in his hands. The little girls background is dirty, and has a bunch of papers all over the ground. The girls face looks like it shows another side of her, but a sad version with her head down. She has on a coat, hat, boots, leggings, and a dress which might mean she comes from a family of wealth.

Girls at Weaving Machines: Two girls and a woman are all at weaving machines. The two girls look young and they are wearing the same outfit and ribbon in their hair. The woman at the end looks older than the two girls and she is not wearing the same outfit as the two girls. This might indicate that she is the boss of them. The first girl looks like she is weaving something while the other girl looks like she is making or folding something on a table.

The Noon Hour at Indianapolis Cannery: There a bunch of boys and two girls from small children to teens who are gathered in a line by a railroad track and train. They all look like they are posing for the picture. The two girls have on dresses, while the boys have on overalls and hats. Some of them have their arms around each other, which might mean they are close friends or related. Some of them are smiling while the others stand with a certain look on their face. The boy on top of the train looks happy and is smiling. The oldest of them all look like they are on the steps while the others on on the sidewalk and railroad track.

Explanation: Could've been better but this is what I submitted. Hope this helps!
