How do the authors describe the Native American as opposed to the Europeans? What internal and external pressures caused Columbus and the Spanish to enslave Native Americans? How did they excuse their actions?
How do these articles on the discovery expand or modify your understanding of this period? Do these articles differ from other treatments you have read in the past? What evidence do the authors use to support their arguments?
What questions do these articles raise about history and the way in which history is understood? (Consider the entire study of history, not merely the exploration period.) What are the challenges we face in learning about the past?
