Is James Horn’s assertion that “Jamestown also presents two sides of America’s founding. On the one hand, England’s New World offered many settlers opportunities for social and economic advancement unthinkable at home; while on the other, colonization unleashed powerful destructive forces that were catastrophic for Indian peoples, whose lands were taken by colonists, and for enslaved Africans and their posterity, whose labor enabled Jamestown, and indeed America, to flourish” true? Why or why not?

Respuesta :

Yes James Horn's assertion about the two sides of America's founding is very true.

Firstly the United States was built on the promise that it was the land for the free, and also the land for opportunities. When these people migrated they moved to a new place that gave them hope and more opportunities than where they came from.

Secondly, his assertion is also true. This is due to the fact that the new nation took a lot from the people that owned the place.

They took the ancestral lands of the Indians and also drove them far away. This was after several wars and killings of these people.

Also the country was built on the sweat of the slaves who labored and served in the hands of those that claimed to be the masters.
