William Shakespeare, born in England in 1564 and died 1616, was an English writer who became known as the father of English literature. Through his many poems, plays, comedies, tragedies, dramas, etc, Shakespeare showed his enormous ability and his deep interest in expressing, through writing, his reflections, perceptions, observations and ideas on different issues of everyday life. Among the many things Shakespeare was known for, was his use of different language techniques to establish a difference between not just his ideals, but also people that he wrote about from his time. In particular, he tended to use a combination of prose and verse in his writings and used them to set differences of hierarchy, social status and even intelligence, especially in his characters. Thus, it has been known that Shakespeare usually used prose when his lesser characters, those who were lower-born and less educated, spoke, acted, or thought, while he used free verse for higher-born and more educated ones. This is because verse was more complex, it had rythm and meter and it established social status, and level of education, which indicated a higher birth, and thus, it was understood, these characters were better prepared for the use of such complex language.
Interactions among Europeans and Native Americans varied from place
to place, and members of each nation forged relationships with Indians
in very different ways, depending on a variety of economic, social and
political factors. While we should be mindful of this diversity, we can
still make certain generalizations. Few Europeans considered Native
Americans their equals, because of differences in religion, agricultural
practice, housing, dress, and other characteristics that—to
Europeans—indicated Native American inferiority. However, the French,
Spanish, and Dutch sought profit through trade and exploitation of New
World resources, and they knew that the native people would be important
to their success. Europeans also wanted to convert Native Americans to
Christianity. Therefore, economic gain and religion were the two factors
that most affected the dynamics of European and indigenous American
relationships.
The Spanish:
Spain, the most powerful monarchy in Europe and the Americas, wished to
enrich themselves with the New World’s natural resources. After
enslaving indigenous peoples in the Caribbean and the southern parts of
the Americas to grow crops and mine for gold, silver, and other
valuables, the Spanish moved into North America where they concentrated
their efforts in what is now the southwestern and southeastern United
States. In Florida, for example, Spain established a military post at
San Augustín, (today called St. Augustine) but only a small number of
Spaniards settled there. Catholic missionaries labored to convert the
Indians to Christianity, and they experienced some success baptizing and
transforming the Guale and Timucuan peoples into farmers. But even the
most cooperative Indians continued to maintain their own religious and
cultural traditions, and many priests concluded that the Indians were
inferior and incapable of understanding Christianity. Indigenous
populations declined over the seventeenth century as epidemics brought
by the Spanish killed large numbers of natives. San Augustín remained a
small outpost throughout the Spanish colonial period; a sort of
multicultural crossroads where indigenous peoples came to trade with
Spaniards and intermarriage between Spanish men and American Indian
women was
Historians refer to the rise of Andrew Jackson to the presidency as a “triumph of the white man’s democracy” because during the so-called “Age of Jackson” the right to vote was extended to nearly every white adult male, fueling the modern party system, and slavery became stronger in the south forcing thousands of Native Americans off their land.
The Democratic-Republican Party split over the presidential succession, when the party faction that supported the old Jeffersonian principles, led by Andrew Jackson, became the modern Democratic Party.
