Compare The Powhatans And The English In The Seventeenth-century Chesapeake by David J. Voelker, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Embracing an argument-based model for teaching history, the Debating American History series encourages students to participate in a contested, evidence-based discourse about the human past. Each book poses a question that historians debate - How democratic was the U. S. Constitution? or Whydid civil war erupt in the United States in 1861? - and provides abundant primary sources so that students can make their own efforts at interpreting the evidence. They can then use that analysis to construct answers to the big question that frames the debate and argue in support of their position. The Powhatans and the English in the Seventeenth-Century Chesapeake poses this big question: How were the English able to displace the thriving Powhatan people from their Chesapeake homelands in the seventeenth century? | The Powhatans And The English In The Seventeenth-century Chesapeake by David J.
