Corridos, or musical ballads, celebrated the popular memory of the events and heroes of the revolution. Corridos is a ballad.
A hasty generalization is a conclusion based on a small sample size, rather than looking at statistics that are much more in line with the typical or average situation.
A sample of hasty generalization is when FDR says in his speech that the attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. FDR based this conclusion on what probably was told but not even the military at Pearl Harbor knew the exact numbers of deceased but several day later.
Jamestown, Virginia, experienced the terrible starving time
in the 1609 until next year, running out of food and becoming ridden with
diseases, that the population fell from more than 100 to only 60. According to Smith,
many of the settlers were from aristocratic backgrounds and so were not
inclined to work. Then he enforced the rule “that he that will not work shall
not eat” and enforced it with
punishments or banishment from the fort. With the rule and some luck, Smith succeeded
in making the colony self-sufficient.
