Module 7 Short Responses – Question 1
Name three historical lenses that you could apply to gain a fuller picture of the
relationship between Natives and white settlers. Be sure to respond to this question in no
more than one sentence, using proper grammar.
I could use a cultural, social, and political lens to analyze the relationship between Natives
and white settlers.
Module 7 Short Responses – Question 2
Revise the thesis statement at the top of this page to reflect a more complex view of the
relationship between Natives and white settlers. Your revised thesis statement should be
longer than one sentence.
Some of the most tragic and bloody conflicts between Natives and white settlers are the result
of disputes between land. Would relationships have been different if they had learned to
coexist and share resources?
Module 7 Short Responses – Question 3
Name three historical lenses that you could use to look at the events described in the
video you just saw.
We could use a social lens, cultural lens, and political lens.
Module 7 Short Responses – Question 4
Massasoit's decision to approach the Pilgrims about an alliance was contingent on what
previous event or events? (Name one or two.)
The alliance was forged to protect both sides from other hostile Natives in the area.
Module 7 Short Responses – Question 5
Name one short-term consequence and one long-term consequence of the alliance
between the Wampanoag and the Pilgrims.
A short term consequence is the hostility from other Native tribes. A long term consequence
is the sense of safety for the settlers and the influx of more that resulted in a shift of power.
Module 7 Short Responses – Question 6
How has your understanding of the historical event in your essay changed as a result of
your research? Describe one instance of a misconception or a wrong idea you had about
your topic that has been corrected after researching and writing about it.
One thing that has changed within my chosen topic during my own research is my perception
on Dr. King's impact on the Civil Rights Movement. I originally focused on his "I have a
dream" speech but have widened my scope into understanding more of what he did during the
overall movement and the impact that he had. I am also researching on how his death created
a pivotal moment in the movement to get the necessary legislation passed.
Module 7 Short Responses – Question 7
Name four historical lenses through which you could analyze the events of the Cherokee
Removal. Specify one aspect of this event for each lens that you cite.
I would choose a cultural lens to see how the settlers impacted the overall culture of the
Native nations. I would also use a political lens to analyze the split in the Cherokee nation
and see if things may have played out differently leading up to their removal. A societal lens
would be beneficial as well to see how the Native nations changed with white the impact of
white influence and the pressure from local governments for removal. I would also be
interested in a religious lens to see how the removal of the Cherokee from their lands
impacted their beliefs.
Module 7 Short Responses – Question 8
Agree or disagree with the following thesis statement: "The Treaty of New Echota was
invalid, and the National Party was correct to oppose it." Cite at least three historical
facts that support your position.
I think it was valid although not beneficial in the slightest to the Natives. For one, the treaty
was not made with both parties within the Cherokee nation and was met with opposition from
the National Party. Second, while some Native members wanted to stay and were informed
that they would receive land but President Jackson vetoed that provision in the treaty. I also
think that John Ross was eventually bribed and/or persuaded by the government to enforce
the treaty he originally opposed and forced the Cherokee nation to move against their will.
Instead of leading his people there, he took the comfortable way there and once there,
established leadership instead of stability. Had the US government provided adequate
materials and gear for the journey west, more Cherokee would have survived the Trail of
Tears.
