century developments best supports the argument made any excerpt and
- 00:24
here your pencil answers with my brain franciscan and everything
- 00:30
Well let's start by nailing down what argument the excerpt
- 00:33
is making to do that we have to zoom in
- 00:36
on the second sentence where we're told a member of
- 00:38
los saul's mississippi river expedition observed that it seems clear
- 00:42
that even god wished the american indians would yield their
- 00:46
place to the europeans All right so that means we're
- 00:49
combing through these answers Find a historical development that some
- 00:52
might think proves god gave his stamp of approval The
- 00:56
european persecution of american indians Yeah Let's Look adoption eh
- 01:00
Yeah The u s government did develop legislation like the
- 01:03
indian removal act which forced native peoples west during the
- 01:06
nineteenth century But it's not like god himself was a
- 01:09
member of congress Unless he's a master of this guys
- 01:12
but we're pretty sure that's not the case so option
- 01:15
a doesn't really cut it out Let's look adoption seat
- 01:18
well for starters american indians weren't all that compliant They
- 01:21
fought war after war in defense of their land and
- 01:24
culture and in the end there wasn't anything particularly miraculous
- 01:27
about the way they were colonized Hard to see the
- 01:29
hand of god here waken cross out option c option
- 01:33
d we'll be is a little tougher to eliminate franciscan
- 01:36
missionaries Converting tons of native peoples could definitely look like
- 01:40
god was on a winning streak No we're going to
- 01:42
go ahead and cross this one out though since missionaries
- 01:45
are people and not god himself All right well so
- 01:48
by process of elimination d is the best answer The
- 01:52
impact of epidemics like smallpox on native populations was so
- 01:56
dramatic that it probably did seem downright otherworldly to settlers
- 02:00
Europeans may have brought a lot of things with them
- 02:02
sandy shores of north america but disease was by far
- 02:05
the most terrible fiercely Whatever happened to bring someone in 00:02:09.47 --> [endTime] nice bouquet of flower
