Whoo!! This module has been a lot to process read and think about. It is so much information and things to learn about makes my brain hurt a little. During this module, I learned about pretty much the colonization of the East Coast. Also how and why the pilgrims came about and the types of mediators between the pilgrims and Indians and last but not least the Pequot war. Also, the reason why Thanksgiving is celebrated. It all began with the Puritans it began in the 16th century these are the people who really rebelled the British, these people had their own way of living they rebelled numerous ways they didn't want their lifestyles to be tied to England at all. They wanted to have their own religion and other things dealing with their daily lives. Squanto who was a Patuxet Indian and helped the Pilgrims and the Indians get along this was during the 17th century. A lot did happen for it to Squanto to end up to that point he was captured and was supposed to be sent to Spain, but luckily he escaped and came back to where he came from. This is how he began his journey as a mediator and a leader. When Squanto finished this brought the Pilgrims and Indians together this is what created Thanksgiving, a few states such as Florida, Texas, Maine,& Virginia had already started this so-called tradition. This was before the pilgrims arrived on the Mayflower which was a huge ship that voyagers came off from England. In Plymouth Fall of 1621 is when this holiday became official, now Thanksgiving is something that happens all across the United States of America. Now getting in the Pequot war the English feel that the Indians were out to kill and destroy what the English thought was theirs so it led to war and this leads to history with this module it was a lot learned.

I agree that this module was a lot to take in at first. Upon further examination of the readings i do tend to agree that the English were in the wrong when coming over and trying to take what wasn't theirs to begin with. They started to colonize the whole eastern cost of America and were going to do that at any means necessary. I appreciate how you took the density of the readings and really narrowed it do to and easy to follow read. Nice post.
ReplyDeleteHi Essence! I agree with you when you said that this module had a lot of information to process. There was so much information given to me that I did not even know about, such as the pequot war. I did not know that the war existed and I was surprised to hear about what the British were doing to the Indians toward the end of the war.

ReplyDeleteHi Essense,
I like how you viewed this module in your own. I can tell you absurd the information from the readings and interpreted it on you own. I gained a new level of insight based on your great opinion, great work.
Hey Essense, I really like how you went into detail with your information and it was very easy to understand. I liked how you talked about the colonization and pilgrims. Great work!
ReplyDeleteHello Essence,
ReplyDeleteThis module definitely had a lot to process. The one thing that stood out to me as well were the Pilgrims, growing up we just related the Pilgrims to Thanksgiving never knowing that they actually were just seeking to separate themselves from the church.
