Use the quote to answer the question: "The natives are only too happy to share…for a copper kettle and a few toys, as beads and hatchets, they will sell you a whole Country…" Which European power was able to purchase a valuable island with "a few toys"?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The Dutch

Explanation:

The transaction was made between Peter Minuit who represented the Dutch West India Company, and a leader of the Lenape Native Indians. The Dutch paid just 60 guilders which is not a very reasonable amount of money to purchase the 22,000 acres of land from the Native Indians.

The Dutch acquired the land with little ease and without breaking a sweat. That is why it could be said of the Native Indians that they could sell you a whole country for just a few toys.

If you were to try and corroborate Howard zines claims about Nathaniel bacons movie, what kinds of primary sources might you look for or gather research from

Answers

Answer:

It would be necessary to have access to primary sources such as Nataniel Bacons' diaries, as well as letters or other documents made by him.

Explanation:

A primary source is a document that depicts events (or talks about a person) and that was created at the time that these events are happening. Thus, if an individual wishes to help, with the search for sources, another person who is making allegations about a film by Nathaniel Bacons, that individual must look for documents made by Bacons himself who attest to the statements mentioned or disprove them. For that, letters, diaries, tickets, essays or any other document created by Bacons would be needed.

Based on Mulders's testimony, the court removed Dallen

from Fernehaugh's household. How might things have

worked differently if either Mulders or Dallen had been

a slave?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

1. Mulders decides to deal with the situation by informing what he knows about the mistress the mistress provided the servant, telling him all the bruises and situations in which he saw the abuses taking place, in addition to talking about the servant's account of those moments.

2. If mulders or Dallen were slaves, the court would not have listened to them, because the mistreatment of slaves was legalized, since the law stated that the slave was the property of their masters and therefore, the masters could do whatever they wanted with slaves, including beating them and promoting other ill-treatment.

what john Jay means when he states that “the people must cede to it some of their natural rights in order to vest it with requisite powers.”

Answers

Answer:

John Jay meant that people should give up some of their natural rights in order to provide the government the essential power to make everyone united and at peace with each other.

Explanation:

John Jay was a leader of the Federalist Party, a party that wanted a strong national government. He was an American who was pro-British. He negotiated with the British government in order to have peace with them as instructed by President George Washington.

In the quote above, Jay talked about the "Divine Providence" concerning how the Americans have always been united and how they were rooted in the same ancestor. Thus, it was best for people to stay united under one federalist government in order to repress war. For him, such action will show the other nations that the government is well-united; therefore, it won't invite war at all. If war ever happens, a strong government will make it easy to provide the best defense.
