According to Kevin M. Schultz in HIST4, contrary to the first source the explorers that joined with Columbus where found in the Middle and Far East, the second book proved that Columbus was not the one who discovered India Island, the third Alvar Nunez was not the man that forms the tribe, the fourth has an opposite point of view from the primary source of the De Las Casas. Comparing the primary sources with the book, the sources that were provided have more information. The sources helped me to understand more detail about chapter 2 and the behind of what happened in the stories provided in the book and the primary sources.
The diary of Christopher Columbus in 1492, travels with the purpose that he was a very important witness in Medieval and Modern Europe. Due to the travel, the main cause of the voyages was the virtual and dangerous. The ill-treatment and the diseases of the majority of the natives and the big impact of slave transatlantic. Everything that was happening around here pointed to Columbus as guilty of this grave situation. In the diary of Christopher Columbus mentions that other people share the same interests by stating, “many other trifles of small value, and became wonderfully attached to us” where he found new people who wanted to join the journey of founding a new land. However, according to Kevin M. Schultz in HIST4 “After Columbus, a host of other explorers set out in search of treasures in the Middle and Far East” (26). To illustrate this, he explained what he saw when they found the new island. How the Indian Language Guanahi” had their treatment to them. In the Columbus never wanted to have issues with illness and diseases from the new members that he had. Making also seems Columbus was a person who used these people as slaves and all policies had been involved as guilty as the people who followed his voyages. It was inevitable to not point Columbus as responsible, due to the great symbol he was. All of these men and the others who were exploring America were players of the dubbed.
This letter of Christopher Columbus, explains that he was the product of the classical Renaissance was convinced that he could navigate across the West. In search for the “Cathay” considering that he was playing in the rivalry form Portugal with Spain. Christopher had finally convinced Fernandid and Isabel to give him the NINA and Pinta and also the Santa Maria. Navigating across west for the reach of the Clay, he found the famous islands of India. But Columbus thought that he never found India Island, the place where he landed was the Bahamas. In their letter To Luis St. Angel, Christopher Columbus mentions that in “thirty-three days I passed over with the fleet which the most illustrious King and Queen, our Lords, gave me” where he found a lot of people on the island.” This newfound made Columbus write a letter to Luis the St. Angel for he was the one that would help him out to finance his expedition. He concluded that he made it into the Indian islands because of his mathematics predictions. However, according to Kevin M. Schultz in HIST4,” Columbus has not found India at all, he was the first European to set foot in North America” (25). To illustrate this the fact was that Columbus never discovered a new island due to that he was going in the opposite direction that he was expecting.
Alvar Nunez was the second mandate of Panfilo de Narvaez on his way to conquer the state of Florida. On the way, the three companions of Cabeza de Vaca at that time made an incredible journey across America to the southeast of the state. On the journey, they were captivated by a tribe of Indians near Texas. In this letter, the Indian of the Rio Grande mentions that “we crossed a big river coming from the north and, met a number of people that came from afar to meet us on the trail, who treated us like the foregoing ones.” But, finally, they walked through many cities were Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico. Cabeza de Vaca provided important information about Native Americans' life and their culture in another state. Explaining that they cross a river going to the north. Crossing plains where they meet new people who also came to the trail. However, according to Kevin M. Schultz in HIST4, “Between 1519 and 1521, Hernan Cortez led an expedition of six hundred men against the Triple Alliance”. This means that contrary to Cabeza de Vaca, he was not willing to ally with the tribe (28). He planned to build Mexico the ruins of the Aztecs and hope to find the same plunder as Cabeza de Vaca did. Cortez's goal was to become the most European put Mexico as the largest state as a whole.
Bartolome better known as De Las Casas, was a man who served as a Spanish missionary. After a long process he was named a priest, he was also known as a hard worker man to find the end to the slaves and forced work towards the slaves. As he continued to stop slavery, Las Casas had success in converting some groups into tribes. But, failed in establishing the model of the Native Colony. In the letter Of the Island Hispaniola explains that “he Christians, whom they serve; the humblest, most patient, most peaceful and calm, without strife nor tumults; hate and desire of revenge as any in the world.” This illustrates the description of the De Las Casas's courage to help out the people who were treated as slaves and make them do hard work. With no stopping, he tried to do his best to end and make them work together and form a tribe. However, according to Kevin M. Schultz in HIST4, “To convert Indians, the Spanish often destroyed Indian temples and replaced them with Catholic Cathedrals (30). This illustrates how the opposite of the De La Casas as catholic they were rude with the Indians and their religious beliefs. The Spanish did not want the to Indians bring something opposite from them.
Doing the compare and contrast was the primary source that gave a lot of information. These sources made me think and investigate more about the reality of the stories that they provided. Proving the information on both sides to differences the reality of what happened in that time. Even though Chapter 2 was very interesting it did have some differences from the every important event in the primary source.
