Plymouth Essay


The founding of English colonies in modern Massachusetts combined a strange mix of idealism and violence. Miles Standish contributed important protection to the early colonies by using violence. Benjamin Church provided vital leadership to protect the colonies during King Philip's War. Despite all of this violence, the colonies were also founded on religious idealism. It is important to understand the full history of these areas because this is what Americans generally consider to be our nation's beginning.
Miles Standish contributed important protection to the early colonies by using violence. Miles Standish attacked the Indians because he thought they were planing to attack him. Standish also killed two Indians that he invited to supper because they had talked down to him. He even killed the Indian that talked bad to him with his own knife. Standish also busted into a wigwam looking for a man they had he thought was going to attack the pilgrims, just to find out he wasn't there. This shows that the English people who came over did get violent with the Indians that there was no real peace between them.
Benjamin Church provided vital leadership to protect the colonies during King Philip's War. During a battle between Church and his men against the Indians, he led them to a small decaying stone wall and he and his 20 men held off 300 Indians until a shipped arrived and saved church and his men without any casualties, even after he ran back to get his hat and sword. He killed king Philip and had his head mounted on a steak that was put in the middle of the town. Also Church protects the pilgrims, the reason he killed Philip was because he thought he was planning an attack on some pilgrims, so he attacked first. This showed that the soldiers who came used violence to solve their problems and that apart from Standish, Church did it for protection and in part that he was a military man.
Despite all of this violence, the colonies were also founded on religious idealism. Strict observance of the Sabbath No Hunting~ No Fishing~ No Shopping~ No Shaving. Church believed that he was protected by God during the Pea field battle, since that there was 300 indians against his 20 men and none of his men were injured including himself. The Pilgrims moved to the "New World" so they could have their own religion and laws. It shows that the pilgrims who lived and villages were for religious reasons not all for the land and money, also they did not get involved between the soldiers and the indians
The settlers who came to New England braught violence and idealism to the Indians culture. It is important to understand the full history of these areas because this is what Americans generally consider to be our nation's beginning. This shows that the English people who came over did get violent with the Indians that there was no real peace between them. It shows that the pilgrims who lived and villages were for religious reasons not all for the land and money, also they did not get involved between the soldiers and the indians.The essay Shows what the settlers braught to this new world and how they treated and overcomed the elements to creat their own nation threw violence and idealism between the indians . The Pilgrims who came along braught thier own reliogion to make thier own laws and beliefs in the new world.

Prompt 3

Hitler, Stalin and Mao all have have something in common. Thay all have killed people to gain power and all used camps to exterminate the ones who opposed them, though Hitler used the camps to get red of the jews. Hilter and Mao have more similarities because both thought the same way. Each were soldiers and each of the them established power by force and trickery. Mao kille and body who oppossed and sent them to camos to reevaluate them but most of them did die but nobody cared. Same with the jews but not to just gain power but to get red of what hitler thought of as a problem.

Stlin on the other hand had camps but was more civilized on what he did to become powerful. He did kill and have wars, but he did not do what Mao and Hitler did, by just killing off as race or having a very distinct set of restriction that could lead to death. But he did get his power by force just like Hitler and Mao. I believe that that a start of a dictator is when he tries to take power by force and establish rules and regulation for no cause

Essay for Exam #5 china

Moa and stalin both were soldiers in the army wich started there clim toward power because they both were well known. After moa became in power after he used propoganda and force he used self-critisism camps and re education camps to scar people into making him a leader and not to go against him. Stalin used more talking than force and he still became a powerfull leader, without as much force as Mao.
Mao and Hitler are very much alike, they both used camps to kill poeple and showed them that they are in full control. Hilter though used camps just to exterminate a race instead of just trying to get them scared into not going against him but they used both the smae type of method. and in that time Hitler was very powerful he had almost all germans on his side either they were convinced that he was a good leader or they were terrified to speak up. Mao though did the same method with the camps but not just to kill them but to scar them into believing his leadership but also some do tend to die in these camps and they did not care because they both Hitler and Mao thought the same way. The ones who died they did not want them or need them any ways. they thought it would be better wth out them. so Hitler and Mao both thought alike on how to gain power.
After some one gets into power the tend to build a dictatorship and end up screwing up the country even more than it was before. Then they get a little cocky in a sence they think that their religion or there teaching is the only thing that matters and then it starts to get out of hand, like with Hitler and him ordering to kill that certain race to become known as a very powerfull leader. With Mao he told people that their religion is no good and he sent people to camps if they did not do as he said or if they were against him. After a dictatorship is build usually the country tends to go down instead of rise. Then war starts because another doens't agree with their beliefs or the way they running the country.
