solved Based on their recorded words and actions, how did various

Based on their recorded words and actions, how did various Indigenous peoples both interpret and respond to European newcomers’ actions prior to 1700? Discuss at least three specific examples to support your analysis. 
Comparing first-hand accounts from the French, English, and Spanish colonies (including representations that appeared in European paintings or art), how would you characterize Europeans’ views of Indigenous peoples before 1700? Discuss specific examples from all three empires to support your analysis. 

Your essay must be based chiefly on the documents in the primary source reader, Sources for America’s History. You may consider all relevant sources from the reader, even those not assigned in the syllabus. Be sure to cite the original documents, not the background information provided in the editor’s introduction to each source. 
Your paper will be graded based on three components: 

Your ability to articulate a coherent argument that addresses the question prompt. You must sustain that argument throughout the essay. This entails an effective thesis statement on the first page, the use of appropriate topic sentences for each of your body paragraphs, and a clear, succinct summation of your argument at the conclusion of your paper. 
Your demonstrated understanding of the sources and your ability to marshal the most relevant evidence effectively. To persuade the reader of your argument’s validity, you must support it using specific evidence and examples instead of with vague or general statements or opinions. 
The clarity of your writing, including grammar and attention to detail, as well as the overall organizational structure and mechanics of your essay.

Writing Tips and Guidelines: 
? Address the question prompt. Don’t merely to summarize the sources or provide a chronicle of events. The first paragraph of your essay should contain a clear thesis statement that articulates a coherent argument based on the sources you have analyzed. 
? Strong writing is important, but it should also be concise. Don’t waste precious space on an elaborate opening paragraph. Instead, get right to work laying out your argument. 
? The strongest papers will employ a broad range of sources and use shorter, carefully chosen quotations. Avoid using block quotes, especially in a paper of this length. Where possible, paraphrase longer quotations. 
? At the top of the first page, give your paper a specific, meaningful title that reflects your thesis. A separate title page is not required. 
? Remember that there is no single “right” answer to the prompt. You will be graded on how persuasively you present your case by employing relevant evidence. Don’t just tell the readers. Show them. Substantiate your points with facts, quotations, and examples. 
? Remember that you must still provide a citation for any sources on which you draw, even if you aren’t using a direct quotation. Be sure to cite all books or lectures you use with footnotes. Your word processing software has a function that inserts these footnotes into the text automatically. Quick how-to guides can be found online, or you can speak to me. 
Follow the Chicago Style citation format used in historical writing. Again, quick how-to guides are freely available online. Here a few basic examples: 
1. John Winthrop, “A Model of Christian Charity (1630),” in Kevin B. Sheets, ed., Sources for America’s History, Volume 1: To 1877 (Bedford/St. Martin’s, 2018), 23. 
If you cite the same document later in the paper, you may abbreviate the footnote to include just the last name and page reference, like this:
3. Winthrop, 23-24. 
If you cite another document or essay from a book you have already cited: 
4. Thomas Hariot, “A Briefe and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia (1588),” in Sources, 4. 
To cite from a lecture: 5. Gregory Wigmore, lecture, “Native America,” Sept. 23, 2020.
