Who Is John Smith Justified?

My great-great-great grandfather, Captain Bill Strong, was a brute, well known throughout Breathitt County, Kentucky at first by his Civil War fame, but also his terrible feudal era. In Spring of 1870, Amis and his sons went to Strong’s field and began firing at him while Strong was plowing. Captain Strong then ran to his house, grabbed his gun and shot JOhn Amis through both thighs. Once John recovered him, his father and brothers started warfare with Captain Strong. The next day the Amis family set out to Strong’s house and began firing at it, killing Strong’s negro; Captain Strong called for reinforcements because he was not well armed to fight them off.

In my view, the test given to Robert Proctor was unjustified. Therefore, I believe that he should have been provided with the opportunity to decide whether he was deserving of receiving his driver's license. To clarify, the test conducted on Robert Proctor in the short story, “The Test” written by Theodore L Thomas was unfair as it took away self control as a driver and put him in a one-sided situation as time went on. First of all, Robert Proctor was placed under hypnosis and had no control, although he thought he was choosing his own actions, the entire scenario was controlled by the hypnotists. This is confirmed in the story on page 3 when the author stated, “We put you through an accident under hypnosis - do it to everybody these days before

John Smith was kidnapped in 1607 by the Indian chieftain Powhatan, his daughter Pocahontas saved John Smith from a mock execution by putting her head in between his and the war clubs of the native americans.

On January 17, 1893, the Hawaiian Kingdom was overthrown by the United States of America. A storm had broken out, and a group of American men took control of the Hawaiian Kingdom. This group of men, called the Hawaiian League would ultimately take over, and overthrew the Hawaiian Kingdom. When the McKinley Tariff was signed, this allowed all imported sugar into the U.S. tariff free. This worried many foreign sugar businessmen that sugar would not thrive in Hawaii anymore. Many businessmen thought annexation would be a solution to help boost sugar again. The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom was unjustified, because of the unlawful acts by Minster Stevens, and the Hawaiian League.

Most of Smith's knowledge died with him. His plans to edit and publish his journals and have a master map constructed were never realized. Nevertheless, Smith was satisfied with his wilderness

While many cannot picture Smith in any context other than with Pocahontas, he had a very active life before he even met her. As stated by Woolf, prior to even meeting Pocahontas Smith had been “in an army fighting the Ottoman Turks in central Europe, during which he went through several escapes, was seriously wounded, taken into slavery, after which he murdered his slave-master and escaped, along with being shipwrecked twice.”1 All of these exploits happened before Smith ended up in Virginia at the Jamestown colony, and met Pocahontas, the narrative of which most Americans are intimately familiar with or so they think.

John Proctor is a symbolic Christ figure in the Crucible. Despite his lustful sin for Abigail, he still is a symbolic Christ figure. As we know it, Jesus was a righteous man. He did everything for the benefit of the people and he came to save the world. Humans have proven to be so ignorant. John Proctor cared for Salem and he wanted to bring justice and truth in Salem. As a well know Christ figure, Proctor epitomizes a being that shows a multitude of characteristics of Proctor. The confrontation of evil in the society, the hanging of Proctor, and resistance to temptation.

The Civil War was not over when the last battle of it was fought. The United States was still in deep debate over whether the former southern rebels, or Confederates, should be punished and how. Unfortunately, Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in the middle of the reconstruction era. Andrew Johnson, who was Vice President while Lincoln was in office, took Lincoln’s place as president after Lincoln was murdered. Many northerners were unhappy with Johnson because they did not agree with his beliefs and decisions. The fact that Johnson was disliked from the beginning of his presidency provides a motive and reasoning for Congress to have wanted to plot against him. Also, laws were clearly passed to purposely restrict Johnson from his presidential powers. President Johnson was not actually taken out of office despite allegations against him for breaking a law. These facts show that President Johnson was the victim of Congress during the time shortly after the Civil

Both William Penn and John Smith attempted to convince people that they should come to the new world. William Penn recognizes that people with skills should go to the colonies because the colonies can offer them more opportunity for their trade, whereas Smith tries to use imagery to convince everyone that they should go to the new world. This distinction is due to the fact that Penn and Smith were writing in different time periods. William Penn, writing in 1681, said that “Those that go into a foreign plantation, their industry is worth more there than if they stayed at home…” (William 74).

John Smith surprised many by becoming a significant leader and a ray of sunshine in an otherwise increasingly desperate situation. He strategically involved the Indians in order to increase the chance of survival of the colonists. This strategy caused him to develop personal relationships with Indians; some good, some bad. Although captured and sentenced to death twice by Chief Powatan, he was saved by Powatan's daughter Pocahontas. Many historians however, believe that Pocahontas did not actually save John Smith; they believe he was mistaking an adoption ceremony for his execution. David Price writes that there is no way to describe what happened other than an impending execution. "Nothing is known about seventeenth-century Powhatan adoption ceremonies, nor is any other tribe in North America known to have had an adoption procedure comparable to what was undergone by Smith."(pg.243).Either way, the romance between Smith and Pocahontas emphasized in children's stories is seemingly impossible; Pocahontas would have been eleven years old upon acquaintance with John Smith.

If this quote had been written by one of Smith's fellow settlers, we may regard it as substantial evidence. However, it was written by Smith, so he seems to be boasting about his selflessness and leadership ability. Furthermore, according to Egloff and Chief Crazy Horse, Smith did not even mention his attempted murder to his fellow settlers when he returned to the fort after the Indians released him. Furthermore, he did not include the incident in an account of his captivity, which he wrote immediately following his period of captivity (Vincent 1; Chief Crazy Horse 1). Thus, Smith's General History is not reliable.

When the first colonists landed in the territories of the new world, they encountered a people and a culture that no European before them had ever seen. As the first of the settlers attempted to survive in a truly foreign part of the world, their written accounts would soon become popular with those curious of this “new” world, and those who already lived and survived in this seemingly inhospitable environment, Native American Indian. Through these personal accounts, the Native Indian soon became cemented in the American narrative, playing an important role in much of the literature of the era. As one would expect though, the representation of the Native Americans and their relationship with European Americans varies in the written works of the people of the time, with the defining difference in these works being the motives behind the writing. These differences and similarities can be seen in two similar works from two rather different authors, John Smith, and Mary Rowlandson.

When the name John Smith is mentioned, people of all ages are familiar with it and could tell a lot about him. Why is this? How is it that a man who lived over 400 years ago still so popular today, more specifically to our children? The answer to that question is because John Smith can be viewed as one of America’s earliest heroes. His leadership was vital to the survival of the Jamestown colony. Most people are familiar with his famous quote, “he that will not work shall not eat.” He carried all the qualities of an influential leader, and even had a mystical legend with Pocahontas, in which no one truly knows what happened. His leadership characteristics and qualities possessed hard work, grit, and determination. He was an individualist that had an “American” dream. However, during his time, the colonists did not look at it as an “American” dream. Without him and his leadership, America may not be what it is today.

John Winthrop was seen as a “medieval man” for many reasons. By definition, being a “medieval man” is to live an old-fashioned life. He enjoys living a simple life and lives untouched by the modern ways of life. Winthrop’s simple life is exemplified when Morgan states that “[John Winthrop] liked all the things that God had given him, and he knew it was right to like them, because they were God-given.” (Morgan 6)

John Smith was an agitated Indian man with the will to murder a selfless white man who has done the most damage. He held very close to his spirituality of his Indian ethnicity even though he did not know his tribe. John was impulsive of his
