INSTRUCTIONS:
Please explore the difference in notions of Freedom between Europeans and Native Americans on the dawn of contact. Quote the author's (Foner) words at least twice from Chapter 1 as you write this. Make sure you use the following keywords in your essay: Tenochtitlan, Aztecs, Columbus, Spanish Empire, Black Legend, Pueblo Revolt. Think about how those different notions of freedom guide their actions. There was more than one way to understand freedom and this misunderstanding of what it means to be a free human being is where we start to understand the birth of our nation. One man's freedom can be another's misery. Your essay should give details of this cultural misunderstanding. Please reach out to me if you need to have the book PDF file. The PDF is too big I could not attach it through the website. I only screenshot chapter 1. I do have the PDF version. Please let me know if you need it. The book's name is "Give me liberty" volume 1, by Eric Foner
