“Finally, that I may compress in a few words the brief account of our departure and quick return,

and the gain, I promise this, that If I am supported by our most invincible sovereigns with a little

of their help, as much gold can be supplied as they will need, indeed as much of spices, of cotton,

of mastic gum (which is only found in Chios), also as much of aloes wood, and as many slaves

for the navy, as their Majesties will wish to demand. Likewise rhubarb and other kinds of spices,

which I suppose these men whom I left in the said fort have already found, and will continue to

find; since I remained in no place longer than the winds forced me, except in the town of the

Nativity, while I provided for the building of the fort, and for the safety of all. Which things,

although they are very great and remarkable, yet they would have been much greater, if I had

been aided by as many ships as the occasion required.” Source: Basel. The Columbus Letter. “Concerning the Islands Recently Discovered in the Indian

After the previously mentioned hardships that befell the Spaniards in the year 1519, at the

beginning of the year 1520 the epidemic of smallpox, measles and pustules broke out so virulently

that a vast number of people died throughout this New Spain. This pestilence began in the province

of Chalco and last for sixty days. Among the Mexicans who fell victim to the pestilence was the

lord Cuitlahuactzin, whom they had elected a little earlier. Many leaders, many veteran soldiers,

and valiant men who were their defense in time of war, also died.

“On leaving my camp, I commanded Gonzalo de Sandoval to sail the brigantines (ships) in

between the houses in the other quarter in which the Indians were resisting, so that we should

have them surrounded, but not to attack until he saw that we were engaged. In this way they

would have been surrounded and so hard pressed that they would have no place to move save

over the bodies of their dead or along the roof tops. They no longer could find any arrow, javelins

or stones with which to attack us; and our allies fighting with us were armed with swords and

bucklers, and slaughtered so many of them on land and in the water that more than forty thousand

were killed or taken that day.”

many days. And Spaniards have behaved in no other way during the past forty years, down to

the present time, for they are still acting like ravening beasts, killing, terrorizing, afflicting,

torturing, and destroying the native peoples, doing all this with the strangest and most varied

new methods of cruelty, never seen or heard of before, and to such a degree that this Island of

Hispaniola once so populous (having a population that I estimated to be more than three

million), has now a population of barely two hundred persons.”

Document #3 I was joined by a poor woman who complained of the times. Her

husband had only a morsel of land, one cow and a poor horse. But

they had to pay 20kg of wheat and three chickens as feudal dues to

one lord, and 60kg of oats, one chicken and five pence to another,

along with very heavy taxes to the king’s tax collectors: ‘The taxes

and feudal dues are crushing us.”

Arthur Young, Travels in France (1787-

1789)

Document #4

“To Combourg: The country has a savage aspect; husbandry not much further advanced, at

least in skill, than among the Hurons (American Indians) . . . The people almost as wild as

their country, and their town of Combourg one of the most brutal, filthy places that can be

seen; mud houses, no windows, and a pavement so broken as to impede all passengers . . .

To Montauban: The poor people seem poor indeed; the children terribly ragged, if possible,

worse clad than if with no clothes at all; as to shoes and stockings, they are luxuries . . .

They did not beg, and when I gave them anything seemed more surprised than obliged. One

third of what I have seen of this province seems uncultivated, and nearly all of it in misery .

. .

Arthur Young, Travels in France (September 1788)

Document #5

One opinion pervaded the whole company, that they are on the eve of some

great revolution in the government: that every thing points to it: the confusion in

the finances great; with a deficit impossible to provide for without the states-

general of the kingdom…but bankruptcy is a topic: the curious question on

which is, would a bankruptcy occasion a civil war, and a total overthrow of the

government?...

Arthur Young, Travels in France (October 17, 1787)

Document #6

The abuses attending the levy of taxes were heavy and universal. . . . The rolls

of the taille, capitation, vingtiemes, and other taxes were distributed among

districts. . . A cruel aggravation of their misery, to see those who could best

afford to pay, exempted because able! The corvees {taxes paid in labor, often

road building}, or police of the roads, were annually the ruin of many hundreds

of farmers; more than 300 were reduced to beggary in filling up one vale in

Lorraine: all these oppressions fell on the tiers etat

{Third Estate} only; the nobility and clergy having been equally exempted from

tailles, militia and corvees.

What is the third estate? Everything.

What has it been heretofore in the political order?

Nothing. What does it demand? To become

something therein.

Man is born free. No man has any natural authority over others; force

does not give anyone that right. The power to make laws belongs to

O rich citizens be so good as to leave for a time your chateaux and

palaces and be so good as to glance at those unfortunates whose

muscles are only occupied in working for you. What do you see in

our villages? A few weakened men, faces withered by poverty and

shame, their wives having too many children, their children wearing

rags……All the peasants in our neighbourhood – Brittany – are

making ready to refuse the church tax- gatherers and state that

nothing will be taken without bloodshed.

From the collection of Cahiers de Doléances, Presented to the

Estates-General (March – April, 1789)

Document #13

1. That his subjects of the third estate, equal by such status to

all other citizens, present themselves before the common

father without other distinction which might degrade them.

7. That venality {sale} of offices be suppressed……

13. That military ordinances establishing a degrading distinction

between officers born into the order of nobility and those born in to

that of the third estate be revoked, as thoroughly injurious to an order of

citizens and destructive of the competition so necessary to the glory and

prosperity of the State.

15. That every personal tax be abolished; that thus the capitation and

the taille and its accessories be merged with the vingtiemes in a tax on

land and real or nominal property.

16. That such tax be borne equally, without distinction, by all classes of

citizens and by all kinds of property, even feudal and contingent

rights……JUSTICE

Analyzing Sources Booklet

Directions: Create a booklet that demonstrates a sophisticated analysis of each source and explain how each source relates to a thematic approach. Use the questions below to help guide and enhance your analysis.

When you analyze a primary source, you are undertaking the most important job of the historian. There is no better way to understand events in the past than by examining the sources--whether journals, newspaper articles, letters, court case records, novels, artworks, music or autobiographies--that people from that period left behind.

Each historian, including you, will approach a source with a different set of experiences and skills, and will therefore interpret the document differently. Remember that there is no one right interpretation. However, if you do not do a careful and thorough job, you might arrive at a wrong interpretation.

In order to analyze a primary source you need information about two things: the document itself, and the era from which it comes. You can base your information about the time period on the readings you do in class, lectures and additional research. Pre-analysis 1. Look at the physical nature of your source (i.e., an actual old letter, rather than a transcribed and published version of the same letter). What can you learn from the form of the source? What does this tell you? (Time/place/event?) 2. Think about the purpose of the source. What was the author's message or argument? What was he/she trying to get across? Is the message explicit, or are there implicit messages as well? 3. What do you know about the author? Race, sex, class, occupation, religion, age, region, political beliefs? Does any of this matter? How? 5. Who constituted the intended audience? Was this source meant for one person's eyes, or for the public? How does that affect the source? 6. What can a careful reading of the text (even if it is an object) tell you? How does the language work? What are the important metaphors or symbols? What can the author's choice of words tell you? What about the silences--what does the author choose NOT to talk about? Evaluate the source as historical evidence. 1. Is it prescriptive—telling you what people thought should happen--or descriptive--telling you what people thought did happen? 2. Does it describe ideology (theories) and/or behavior of people? 3. Does it tell you about the beliefs/actions of the elite, or of "ordinary" people? From whose perspective? 4. What historical questions can you answer using this source? What are the benefits of using this kind of source? (Consider the research prompt!) 5. What questions can this source NOT help you answer? What are the limitations of this type of source? 6. If we have read other historians' interpretations of this source or sources like this one, how does your analysis fit with theirs? In your opinion, does this source support or challenge their argument? Remember, you cannot address each and every one of these questions in your presentation or in your paper, and I wouldn't want you to. You need to be selective

Causes of Conflict CBA

Understanding the causes of conflicts may help us resolve current conflicts or even prevent future ones from occurring. You will research a conflict and analyze its causes from different social science perspectives.

Directions to students1

In a cohesive paper or presentation2 , you will:

State a position on why a factor (or factors) played a primary role in causing the conflict

AND find similarities between this conflict and current conflicts.

Provide reason(s) for your position that include:

• An evaluation of factors causing the conflict from two or more of the following social science perspectives:

o geographic o political o economic o cultural o sociological o psychological

• Relevant information from two or more primary sources to support reasons for

the position.

Make explicit references within the paper or presentation to three or more credible sources that provide relevant information AND cite sources within the paper, presentation, or bibliography.

1

This directions page guides students towards the “proficient” level (level “3”) for this CBA. To help students reach “excellent” (level

“4), please refer to the rubric or, if available, the graphic organizer. 2

Students may do a paper or presentation in response to the CBA provided that for either format, there is documentation of this response

that someone outside their classroom could easily understand and review using the rubric (e.g., a videotaped presentation, an electronic written document).

EXAMPLE: Grade 10 - Checklist for Persuasive Writing My paper or presentation will be convincing if I include thoughtful and specific content and organize my paper or presentation well. That means I should ‰ follow the directions for the CBA; ‰ have a clear position and stay focused on that position; ‰ have evidence to support my position; ‰ elaborate by using reasons, well-chosen and specific details, examples, anecdotes, facts,

and/or statistics as evidence to support my arguments; ‰ organize my paper or presentation to make the best case for my position; ‰ consider the opposing argument(s) and, if important, refute (prove false); ‰ begin my paper or presentation with an opening, include a statement of position, and end my

paper or presentation with an effective persuasive conclusion, such as a call for action; ‰ use transitions to connect my position, arguments, and evidence.

My paper or presentation will be convincing if I demonstrate an interesting style. That means I should ‰ show that I am committed to my position by paper or presentation in a voice appropriate for

my audience and purpose; ‰ use words, phrases, and persuasive techniques that urge or compel the audience to support

my position; ‰ use different types and lengths of sentences.

My paper or presentation will be more convincing if I follow conventions in writing or speaking.
