The Inception Of The New World
Primary sources play a huge role in a person who is researching on a historical
event since they relay first-hand information. The American Yawp conveys information
about the inception of the United States of America and how it was formed into a web of
violence and oppression of the people who were already living in the state. The
Europeans saw the country as a vast space that was open for conquering. The perception
led to the introduction of an era that connected over ten thousands years of separation and
introduced centuries of war while releasing a biological weapon to ever been conceived in
the human history[1].The conquest of the America was the beginning of one of the
consistent progress of the people in the history.

The Native Americans were the first people to settle in America, and their beliefs
were passed down through their stories that tried to find a logical explanation on how
they came to be while exposing the values and the things that they believed in. Historians
and archeologists, however, argue that the Native Indians also conquered the country and
were not the original owners as well. The archeologists have used their artifacts and
bones as well as their genetic makeup to trace the people of Native Americans as
individuals who were highly mobile before settling in the country and making it their
home[2].
The conquest by other migrants was however not an easy thing as the native
Americans solidly defended themselves, despite their vulnerable defense systems due to
high mortality that was as a result of diseases and constant attack by the Europeans. The
diseases were a challenge for the native Americans since they had no established methods
of managing the conditions. When the native Americans saw that there was minimal
chance of them winning the constant attacks, they were prudent enough to adapt to the
ways of the new colonialists. The Native Americans saw the need to accommodate the
Spaniards who were one of the major forces that were interested in the New world as they
aptly described it[3].
When the victory of the Spaniards was known, the Spaniards who yearned for
wealth, land and the possibilities of even learning titles became apparent; they streamed
in throngs to the America. The now superior Spain imposed the Native Americans to
work on the estates, through a legal process known as Encomienda. Once Bartolome
wrote an account of the injustices that the people faced, and it became public, the
authorities ditched the laws of the Encomienda and replaced it with repartimiento that
was though as softer than its predecessor.

From the stated events of the Spaniards under the rule, it is evident that the
colonialism of America was a breeding ground for the horrors which was characterized by
a trail of unwarranted deaths and pointless oppression that exposed aspects such as
murder, glutton, and slavery. The diseases were, however, one of the deadliest things that
happened to the American people with archeologists estimating it to be responsible for
over 20 million deaths. An average of ninety-five percent of Native Americans died at
what has been nicknamed as the Black deaths. The perishing of almost a tribe in entirety
was attributed to the lack of exposure and defense since it was a relatively a new
phenomena for them[4].
Historians such as Henry Dobyns assert the fact the disease was the sole influence
that made the Europeans conquer the natives. Diseases such as smallpox, typhus, flu
measles and mumps spread fast and killed the people in equal measure all over the
continent while reeking havoc amongst members of the various communities and in
others, wrecking them[5].
The diseases were so horrendous and when combined with a culture that was a
synonym for violence was subject to wipe the whole population, and it was so astonishing
to the archeologists that the people and the human species were not wiped in totality. The
threat of the diseases remains to be one of the biggest challenges to the people who lived
in that era since they did not have the luxury of managing a particular single disease but
rather were unfortunate enough to handle a variety of potentially terminal disease of that
era.
The black deaths also led to an overhaul of diets worldwide. Americans now held
an affinity for the foods that were rich in calories and made an overhaul of the agriculture
system. The changes in the diets also led to a population boom that was necessary given 

the decline because of the black deaths. The colonialism of the Native Indians was,
therefore, the start of connection to different worlds and the centuries of history that were
apart due to the closing of the Bering while changing the world forever[6].

Professor comments: 

The paper is good and you have the right idea but the paper still needs a lot of work.  The paper should emphasize your primary sources beginning with the introduction. Write and organize an introduction that includes which primary sources you are going to use and why you are going to use them (why they are important which is related to why you have selected them).  Focus much more on the importance of the documents and what they reveal about society back then and include the key ideas you will be discussing that deal with your analysis of the documents you have selected--do this in the introduction--a brief account of the key ideas that will be developed in the body of the paper.  Organize the paper—the paper should have an introduction (see above), a body (that deals with and develops and analyzes the key documents and themes and ideas mentioned in the introduction), and a conclusion that summarizes your findings; emphasize the primary sources from those chapters of the reader (For the Record) or Yawp dealing with Native American-European interaction and keep your emphasis upon an analysis of the documents--especially those dealing with these early contacts. The emphasis should be on the primary documents with historical narrative (key events, ideas, etc) for context (use the textbook for this).  Keep adding to this and explore the documents some more-- use the historical context some more and use the main textbook to help you form your own analysis--there are other secondary sources also that you can use (and cite them) to help you.  What is similar and dissimilar about these documents, and what do they reveal  about the times and places in which they were written?  Again, focus on the primary sources and put the documents in context as you analyze them.  Finally, be sure to proofread carefully--there many grammatical and other errors (spelling, capitalization, word usage, etc.).  Good job and add much more in terms of context and analysis--analyze more of those documents that pertain to European accounts of their interactions with Native Americans over time  and then  edit and proofread--there are a number of grammatical errors in the draft--the draft is somewhat brief, just barely three pages, so add much more in terms of context and analysis--you have the right idea, just go into far greater depth and detail and really focus on an analysis of primary sources within their historical context.
