In The Generall Historie of Virginia, Smith describes that he was brought forth to the King and stated that, “two great stones were brought before Powhatan” (Smith 1624, 400).

In the story ‘Like a Winding Sheet’ written by Ann Petry in 1946, there are lots of things we can dig deep into such as the background of the characters, their behaviors as well as their motives. ‘Like a Winding Sheet’ is about a working day of Johnson, a factory worker with aching legs, and how he encounters racist events throughout his day.

fight for the Protestants, but this would have brought him into direct conflict with the Spanish and almost certainly would have destroyed any chance of Charles' marriage to Isabella, the Spanish princess. James managed to stay out of the war until 1624 after Charles had travelled to Spain to meet Isabella and been fobbed off by the Spanish Court, which Charles took as a personal insult. Foreign issues were of great importance to the reign of James after 1618 but less so before then. Before

After reading the book “Pocahontas and the Powhatan Dilemma” by Camilla Townsend, I realized that the Disney movie “Pocahontas” is very historically inaccurate. Many people might recall seeing this movie in their childhood but many do not take the time to see who Pocahontas really was as a person and what actually happened in her lifetime. In the book Townsend argues that Pocahontas was a stouthearted and keenly intellective woman who sacrificed and dared to forfend her people. She also argues that

There were vast differences between the difficulties experienced by the first settlers of Jamestown, Virginia and the Pilgrims who settled in New England in more ways than one.

The New England and the Southern colonial settlements were united in several areas that created the opportunity for each group of colonies to grow. However, these groups of colonies took divergent paths when it came to the founders’ motives to settle the New World, the importance of religious and social orientation, economic approaches and political developments. These different approaches were ultimately successful beyond the early founders’ expectations. Both the New England and Southern colonies
Another significant genre in American literature is Captivity Narratives. It emerged with the settlement of North America at the end of the nineteenth century. Even though the first captivity narratives were written by Native Americans who were captured by early Spanish explorers, the genre commonly refers to the accounts written by European settlers who were kidnapped by the Native Americans. The classic US captivity narratives encounter the relationship between the European explorers, foreign invaders
