Thank you We sneak man here's your shmoop du jour

00:05

brought to you by smallpox also known as the worst

00:08

housewarming gift ever Take the following passage european exploration river

00:14

rivals in america I'm mrs grammer god like your pants

00:18

And now for our question which of the following sixteenth

00:20

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
