Instinctual Desire for Oneness and For Close Society Questions

Discussion Thread 4Please answer the following two questions #1 Consider the following quotes. The first is from a French explorer while the second is from Benjamin Franklin.“There must be in their social bond something singularly captivating, and far superior to anything to be boasted of among us, for thousands of Europeans are Indians, and we have no examples of even one of those Aborigines having from choice become Europeans”.“No European who has tasted Savage Life can afterwards bear to live in our societies”.Both are commenting on the curious phenomenon of those Europeans who preferred to live among Native tribes. Share your thoughts on these quotes.#2 The following is a quote from George Washington writing about the Royal Proclamation to his friend, Capt. William Crawford. “I can never look upon that Proclamation in any other light….than as a temporary expedient to quiet the minds of the Indians and [one that] must fall of course in a few years…. Any person therefore who neglects the present opportunity of hunting out good lands and in some measure marking and distinguishing them for their own (in order to keep others from settling them) will never regain it”. Crawford worked with Washington in land speculation. 15 years later (1882), he was tortured to death by Delaware warriors. In the ironic words of historian Colin Calloway, he became “a martyr to the cause of converting Indian lands into American real estate.” Share your thoughts on the Royal Proclamation, on Washington’s attitude and on the reasons why the Proclamation was doomed to eventually fail.
