Another point worth mentioning relates to the strangeness of this change since Chimalpahin wrote this codex in Nahuatl, the language of the Mexica. It leads to thinking that the audience aimed primarly the Mexica people, which means that Chimalpahin or the patrons that requested this codex aimed at slowly teaching the Mexica Christianity and its history. By using their native language and having slight changes in their creation story, Chimalpahin produced a work that started the Christianization of the
After becoming established in New England, the shift and influence of religion drove the two to cause division of state. This division was the first states developed in what was later named The United States of America. The creation of these states shows proof of the differences and mass change caused by the dramatic differences of religion and beliefs. The puritans and pilgrims truly laid a foundation to how America started the religious denominations, but also the structure and division of land.

The Colonial Period in American literature was very important throughout our time. When Christopher Columbus first set foot on American soil he thought he discovered a new world. However, American Indians lived here for thousands of years before. As J.H. Parry states in his book The Spanish Seaborne Empire, “Columbus did not discover a new world; he established contact between two worlds, both already old.” The Colonial Period in American Literature had key components including puritans, rationalists, and Native Americans.
It also has a quote by Immanuel Kant which is his definition of Enlightenment. This source is objective because it has the Christian view and it has the view of reason, rationality, and enlightenment. There are pieces of information in this that is supported by other articles, but it is also contradicted. This article says that the Enlightenment and the Age of Reason are two different things, but the other one says that the Enlightenment and the Age of Reason are the same thing. This is helpful by telling the audience that the Age of Reason is simply a time period where man moved their beliefs from believing that God or some other bigger force made things happen to and moved it to using rationale and science to explain
The Great Awakening refer to several periods of dramatic religious revival in Anglo-American religious history. They have also been described as periodic revolutions in American religious thought. The Age of Enlightenment refers to either the eighteenth century in European philosophy, or the longer period including the seventeenth century and the Age of Reason. I would have to go with the Enlightenment because it is the basis of our political culture and it led to the Great Awakening, which is the basis of our spiritual culture.
Taking Heaven by Storm discusses Methodism through the itinerant preachers, treatment of African-Americans and women, and the overall attitudes and way of life in the Methodist connection. Wigger concludes that the Methodist changed America forever by making people feel accepted despite their social class, gender, and race, but Methodism also had to adapt to the broader culture, economic characteristics, and religious aspects of the early United States. This book does an exemplary job of arguing and explaining Methodism between the years of 1770 to 1880. Wigger sometimes loses focus of the main argument by telling the minute details about the individuals in the movement, but his comprehensive outlook ultimately solidifies and strengthens his argument in the end. Taking Heaven by Storm is an unforgettable book that tells the story of people whose beliefs and actions helped change and shape an entire nation to become a place of true equality and

The author moves the history onto another trajectory by investigating the connection between native identity and politics to protect their way of life. Dowd states that tribal religion interconnected with “Indian politics.” Investigating the Pan-Indian movement, Dowd offers historians with a new inquiry, which questions the importance that native religion had in forming an identity in resistance. Examining memoirs and journals, Dowd argues that the visions of the prophets “received revelations” that promoted the nativists’ resistance against Europeans. Dowd reexamines Brown’s argument by focusing on how accommodationists merged native and European traditions together.

The lens of Changes in the Land focuses on the Indians and how “their ability to move about the landscape” (Cronon 159), had been “severely constrained” by the actions of the Europeans, and how their life was affected by the settlement. The lens of Experiencing History: Interpreting America’s Past is one that speaks greatly of the Europeans and their life and their struggles and their point of view. This is specifically evident when the textbook speaks of “communities in conflict” (page 89), and how it spotlights the issues pertaining to the colonists. Another area where the textbook and Changes in the Land don’t align is the portrayal of the settlers and the way that they view and act on the land of New England.
Puritans (church members) were Calvinist who wanted to purify the Church of England they confine church membership to persons they believed to be “saved”, the bible was the final authority. Puritans settler in different parts all over North America, John Winthrop writing the Mayflower compact gave a significant power to Puritans in the New World looking for “a city upon a hill” leaving a political structure over New England in which the puritan had power over the colonies. Within fifty year since the founding of New England the whites surrounded the ancestral lands of the Indians, Metacomet (King Philip) was the son of Massasoit who signed the treaty with the Pilgrims, Philip concerned by the impact of the lands and Europeans culture and religion
Part of the appeal of Evangelical Christianity was the degree of personalization the Native Americans were allowed, in contrast to the strictly controlled dogma of other Christian sects. While before conversion had seemed “cultural
