William Penn Beliefs

Martin Luther King Jr. Malcolm X was a revolutionary, his message misunderstood by many. The media did not help that at all. He was labeled as anti-American, racist, and even communist. His philosophy of "By any means necessary" was confused with a philosophy that advocated hate, racism, and violence. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, on the other hand, was not seen as a threat.

He created the Code Napoleon, which guaranteed equality under the law, regulation of the economy, absolute security of wealth and private property, and the end of feudalism (Pagano “Napoleon Domestic Program Good”). The Code Napoleon showed his desire for lower class citizens, such as poor farmers, to have an equal opportunity to succeed. His actions to regulate the economy alleviated the issues with taxing the Third Estate faced. Napoleon extended liberty even to those he conquered. In a speech to troops, Napoleon said that “there is one condition you must swear to fulfill - to respect the people whom you liberate...your property, your religion, and your customs will be respected” (Document 1).

Thomas Paine is known for the phrase “Life, Liberty, and Estate!” He believed that trading goods was a normal and natural thing while having a monarch rule over vast amounts of people was unnatural. He was well known for his ideals on man’s nature, but he was not against social classes. He viewed classes as a natural way to keep man from resorting to

Smith used his narrative to glorify himself. “Himself always bearing the greatest task for his own share, so that in short time he provided most of the lodging, neglecting himself…” (Smith, 74) Bradford’s narrative was the most historically accurate through his real-life description. Bradford did not cover up the disasters of his colonists or their journey. “If they died, let them die.” (Bradford, 82) Smith described how the Native Americans were afraid of them. “The savages having drawn from George Cassen were gone.” (Smith, 75) In Bradford’s colony, the Native Americans and colonists had a powerful relationship as Samoset and Squanto were the reasons behind the colonists survival.

He put himself as high as the God to set himself at the side of righteousness. He used the simple and easy-to-understand words, in order to pass his idea to the listeners. Religion is like a shield to Bush. Nobody will debate the religion. He talked about the religion’s importance for a country.

When William Penn founded his city in 1681 he intended for the city to be a place where no one would be persecuted; a place where people would live at peace with their neighbors. Penn named his city, Philadelphia, a word created by a combination of two Greek words; one being phileo, which translates to love, and the other being adelphos, which translates to brother. The name would serve as a reminder that Penn’s city was a city for all people, a city where diversity would not only be accepted but also embraced. William Penn wanted to create a city of brotherly love. William Penn wanted his city to be a cosmopolitan canopy.

William Bradford left his home to find found a new establishment that accepted his separatist beliefs and honored God. The rumor of wealth and prosperity drew John Smith toward Jamestown. The desire for an establishing a new life in America was important to both

Bacon’s Rebellion is well known to students of colonial America, although no-one has succeeded in writing a convincing account of it. The first question historians asked was who was responsible for the widespread anarchy that followed the breakdown of government authority in the colony between 1676 and 1677. One historian attributes the rebellion to Nathaniel Bacon, and describes Governor Berkeley as a man doing his best to implement sensible policies. Another sees the Rebellion as prefiguring the American Revolution, with Bacon as an early George Washington, already defying British authority. Historians writing more recently explain that neither the rebel nor the governor could have controlled the dangerous economic situation in Virginia where

Although the natives lead different lives than the stereotypical Christian American citizen, it does not give the United States government the right to strip them of their homeland and resources. The aborigines have a vast set of lore that many of are unaware of. It is wrong of Jackson to assume that one must be Christian in order to be civilized. Jackson claims that the natives, upon settling westward, will have access to countless benefits provided by the government. However, disregarding the natives’ religion, culture, and way of life does exactly the opposite.

These macho explorers were greedy and ruthless. Their treatment of the native people is something that cannot be overlooked, no matter how beneficial exploration was. The New World was not a great place to be when the start of exploration began. The Native people living there in the late 1400s and 1500s were more mistreated by European explorers than most people care to know. As Christopher Columbus mentions in his letter to the treasurer of the King of Spain, the Natives were ready to be converted to Christianity.

By analyzing John White 's watercolor replicas of engravings by Theodore De Bry we can tell how John White 's journey to establish a colony in Raleigh 's charter territory, Virginia, in 1587 affected his few of the Native Americans. Even though this journey ended in bad blood between the two very different people, a look into their life gave John White greater respect for their passion for family, friends, and religion. We see this in the way John White 's images gave us more of a warm view of their family, housing, and religious practices rather than focusing on them being blood thirsty killers preparing for war. With outrageous rumors of the possibility of Native men pillaging the newly made villages and raping their delicate women,

It is peculiar how even though the Native Americans won the battle, the Americans soldiers were the only ones honored and labeled as heroes to the American government and people. Utley later concluded that “most battlefields are not named for a person, much less the defeated leader” and how “Custer’s name attached to the place and monumentation there are deeply offensive to many people” (72). This represents how the Native Americans were viewed as being savages whose accomplishments were forgotten by the largely racist population of white Americans. Utley described the disregard for Native Americans during commemorative events where Native Americans were present, but did not have a voice to share their opinions and celebrate in their victory at the battle of Little

Tituba exposes the rudeness of European to Native Americans, but most importantly the mistreat of people that differed from the ideals of the beliefs. People were not only abused but killed. The superiority perception of Europeans, changed throughout the years, but there is no denying that changes were only made because of convenience. “The colonial empires used native people as guides, trading partners, and allies in wars and for other purposes.” They main concern was acquire more land without the treat that Native Americans made, for that reason, the only way to establish themselves was treating Amerindians as objects, not humans. Tituba is a clear example of the

He would accept any person who was persecuted from other religions to live in a colony where a certain belief wasn’t required. To also learn that Penn was one of the most successful governors to keep peace with the Native American tribes instead of finding ways to annihilate them was also intriguing to learn. In my opinion, I believe he was one of the first people to have an open mind and a change of perspective about certain things just only because he opened his arms to anyone whether it was single people, family or anyone who wanted religious freedom. I enjoyed looking over this topic and being able to go more in depth of the accomplishments William Penn did for this British

John Adams was not exactly like George Washington, despite working under him for over eight years. Adams first downfall was the Alien and Sedition Acts. These acts were the most bitterly contested acts of our nation yet. Our nation was designed to be a safe place for immigrants and people in general to live- the nation as a whole was built from refugees from England- yet these acts prevented our country from being able to do that. Although he was not perfect, he truly tried to be fair.
