Steve Afryl 8/26/09 Hernán Cortés Conquers Mexico  A-This primary source was written by Hernán Cortés. The point of view was from Cortés observations of the Aztecs. PT-This source was produced in Segura de la Frontera. PK-Some of the prior knowledge that I already knew was that Hernán Cortés was a Spanish conquistador that landed in Mexico and encountered a highly civilized society called the Aztecs. The conquistadors were on a mission in search for gold, and other rare crops that were not heard of in Europe. They also wanted glory for a successful expedition. Then he later wiped out almost all of them with foreign diseases. The Spaniards also wanted to convert all of the people they encountered into Catholicism. A-The source was produced for the King of Spain. This does not affect the reliability of the source because Cortés would not lie of the riches he found in Mexico. R-This letter was written to the King of Spain because Cortés was a Spanish conquistador that was funded by the royal throne to explore the new land and to find gold and other valuable items for his country. This letter was also sent at the time that Cortés encountered the Aztec ruler Moctezuma. TMI- The main idea of this letter was to tell the king of Spain that he had been welcomed into the Aztec culture as a god. He also describes all of the riches that he has found. The source conveys that Cortés has converted a lot of the Aztecs to Catholicism and had power over them. S- This source is very important because it was the first time in history that the Spanish had seen a culture so sophisticated. After Cortés stumbled upon the Aztecs, the history of Mexico changed forever.

TMI-The main idea of this source is to tell historians about the first Spanish encounters with the Aztec culture.

The two sources describe the encounter between Moctezuma and Cortés. The Aztecs give Cortés’s troops a place to stay and they take advantage of the Aztecs. Cortes describes the Aztec religion as savage and wrong. He thinks that the Aztecs are savages and animals that don’t have any sophistication at all. He only wants the gold they posses. Sahagún describes the Aztecs as brilliant people. He also goes into great detail about their religion and how it works. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt;">8/31/09 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt;">A Young African boy is taken into Slavery <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msolist: Ignore;">1. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', 'serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Some of Smith’s disconcerting features when he was forced from Africa to New England was he had to watch his father die.
