  • How To Analyze Marie's Letter To Her Son

    312 Words  | 1 Pages

    The primary document I will analyze was a letter written by Marie to her son in 1643, which was about six years prior to the destruction of Huronia by the hands of the Iroquois. The letter has three points that stood out to me. Firstly, Marie highlighted the rapid rate at which the allied Natives were converting to Catholicism in the letter. Interestingly, she seemed to want to convince her son that this rapid conversion was all due to divine intervention, which was summed up by one or her sentences that states: “the mission promises great fruit, for the material is ready.” In simpler terms, she meant that God had already prepared the Natives to accept the gospel long before they began teaching it to them.

    This letter, written many years after the end of the American Revolution, speaks only of the patriotic hearts of the American peoples. His entire message is that the American Revolution was more than just a war, it was an ideal. Later in his letter to Mister Niles, Adams states, “This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people, was the real American Revolution.” By stating this, he is telling us that the Revolution wasn’t the war or the freedom movements alone; it was also the morals, ways of life, and ideals of the people that changed and morphed into what became the Revolution. The Revolution stated before the war and before the activist groups came around. It started in each and every home that noticed they didn't like the way things were going. It started in every person who began to freely think for themselves, and in every man, woman, and child who decided to stand up for their cause and do something about the way they were being treated. The Revolution didn't start on the fields; it started in the minds of the american
