Comparing Why Have You Come Here?: The Jesuits Of New Spain And New France

209 Words1 Page

It would not be long before the Jesuits were sent to the New World to serve in New Spain and 60 years after the arrival in Mexico City, others from France settled in Quebec (Bangert, 261). One of the primary methods of evangelization in the New World was the process of isolation and indoctrination. Used by both the Jesuits of New Spain and New France, isolation and indoctrination had both its success and its failures. In the process of evangelizations, the Jesuit missionaries learn how to adapt to the needs of the Native Americans in both the north and the south.

    People leave their homeland for many reasons, and these reasons are often expressed in the records of their journeys to the new land. William Bradford’s Of Plymouth Plantation and John Smith’s General History of Virginia are both exploration narratives that convey their reasons for moving to the New World.

Through their diction concerning God, the influencing factors of Bradford and Smith’s

  • Goals And Methods Of The Spanish Inquisition In New Spain

    Oftentimes, students and scholars think of the Inquisition as strictly a European phenomenon. In reality, the Spanish Inquisition had an immense presence in colonial Mexico, often referred to as “New Spain.” The Inquisition in New Spain was a powerful institution established by the Spanish crown in the 16th century with the nominal goal of enforcing religious orthodoxy and eradicating heresy and blasphemy among the colonized population. However, a closer examination of the Inquisition's operations reveals that Spain also used it as a tool to prevent conquistadors, indigenous noblemen, and other prominent male figures from gaining too much political power. Because of the Eurocentric focus of Inquisition scholarship, reliable sources on the Inquisition’s

  • Allison Games And Migration

    1569 Words  | 7 Pages

    Throughout her book, Games was very eager in presenting the various pull facts that attracted the English in wanting to come to the new world. Whether it was for personal gains, religious freedom, or social mobility, she was thorough in all aspects; yet, Games did not fully elaborate on the push factors back in London, that undeniably played just as significant of a role in promoting migration. Indeed, Games briefly identified that an uncontrollable growth in English population, along with food shortages and the, “collapse of England textile industry” (16), promoted migration , but this explanation is not sufficient to answer why around tens of thousands of English people, each year, are willing to face a sixty percent mortality rate (190) in going to the new world to seek opportunities; it simply does not provide the whole picture. Literatures that clearly record the economic limitations of England, social structure, religious freedom, or even the daily life of the common English man could have allowed the audience to more closely apprehend why some of the English were willing to risk their lives for a chance in having a better future. Yet, Games forfeited her chance to use these promising sources and reserved herself to words such as crowded and unemployed (23) to briefly present the unfavorable situations back in

The author’s purpose is to advocate for the indigenous peoples in order to convince the people of Spain that the Native Americans are kind, not savages, contradicatory to what Sepulveda wrote. The author writes in a knowledgable and a matter-of-fact tone for the educated Catholic people of Spain, whose only knowledge of the Native Americans are from Sepulveda’s book filled with fallacies.
