"For our subsistence here, the means hitherto hath been the yearly access of newcomers, who have supplied all our wants, for Cat

tle, and the fruits of our la[b]ours, as board, pale, smiths work etc: If this should fail, then we have other means which may supply us, as fish, viz: Cod, bass and herring, for which no place in the world exceeds us..Our civil Government is mixed: the freemen choose the magistrates every year...and at 4 courts in the year 3 out of each town (there being 8 in all) do assist the magistrates in making laws, imposing taxes, and disposing of lands: Our Churches are governed by Pastors, Teachers ruling Elders and Deacons, yet the power lies in the whole Congregation and not in the Presbytery [not in a larger council of churches] further than for order and precedence. For the natives, they are near all dead of the smallpox, so the Lord hath cleared our title to what we possess." -Letter written in Boston from John Winthrop to Sir Nathaniel Rich Mounting Conflict with Native Americans by John Winthrop (05/22/1634) Which statement best describes the colonist’s attitude towards Native Americans?

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

The given text is taken from John Winthrop's letter to Sir Nathaniel in 1634. In his letter he described about the rising conflict with the Natives. He described about the deaths inccurred on the Natives because of epidemic of small pox.

Through this letter we can infer that the colonist's attiude towards the Natives was that they felt that had a calling to reach out to the Natives and preach Christianity to them.

This claim is evident in the last line of the letter in which Winthrop writes that the <em>'Lord has cleared their title.'</em>

So, the correct answer is option D.

Thomas Paine wrote ____ to urge colonists to break from Britain.
In-s [12.5K]

2 Answers for you!!!

1. It was a pamphlet published in 1776 and immediately inspired the public to demand independence. It is considered one of the most influential political pieces ever written.

2.

On this day in 1776, writer Thomas Paine publishes his pamphlet “Common Sense,” setting forth his arguments in favor of American independence.  Although little used today, pamphlets were an important medium for the spread of ideas in the 16th through 19th centuries.

Originally published anonymously, “Common Sense” advocated independence for the American colonies from Britain and is considered one of the most influential pamphlets in American history.  Credited with uniting average citizens and political leaders behind the idea of independence, “Common Sense” played a remarkable role in transforming a colonial squabble into the American Revolution.

At the time Paine wrote “Common Sense,” most colonists considered themselves to be aggrieved Britons.  Paine fundamentally changed the tenor of colonists’ argument with the crown when he wrote the following:  “Europe, and not England, is the parent country of America.  This new world hath been the asylum for the persecuted lovers of civil and religious liberty from every part of Europe.  Hither they have fled, not from the tender embraces of the mother, but from the cruelty of the monster; and it is so far true of England, that the same tyranny which drove the first emigrants from home, pursues their descendants still.”

Paine was born in England in 1737 and worked as a corset maker in his teens and, later, as a sailor and schoolteacher before becoming a prominent pamphleteer. In 1774, Paine arrived in Philadelphia and soon came to support American independence.  Two years later, his 47-page pamphlet sold some 500,000 copies, powerfully influencing American opinion. Paine went on to serve in the U.S. Army and to work for the Committee of Foreign Affairs before returning to Europe in 1787.  Back in England, he continued writing pamphlets in support of revolution. He released “The Rights of Man,” supporting the French Revolution in 1791-92, in answer to Edmund Burke’s famous “Reflections on the Revolution in France” (1790). His sentiments were highly unpopular with the still-monarchal British government, so he fled to France, where he was later arrested for his political opinions.  He returned to the United States in 1802 and died in New York in 1809.
