Mary Rowlandson - "The Narrative of the Captivity and the Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson"

This narrative will be given out in class on Thursday. Please have it read by Monday, 10/6. Bring it back to class and make sure you annotate it while reading.

Think about these questions while you read:

1. How did the explorers and later the colonists who came to the New World for “Gold, Glory and/or God” justify their treatment of Native Americans, African slaves, and indentured servants?
2. Were there discrepancies between agreed upon political ideals and the treatment of these minority groups?
