6 feb 1584 anni - A Discourse Concerning Western Planting

Descrizione:

The document A Discourse Concerning Western Planting was written by Richard Hakluyt that attempted to convince English Queen Elizabeth I to support the establishment of New World colonies like the soon-to-be-created Roanoke Colony. These points included converting Native Americans to Protestantism, freeing the same people from the 'evil' clutches of Catholicism wrought by the Spanish, creating jobs overseas, reducing commerce between England and Spain (as they could trade with their colonies instead), and just in general sticking it to the Spanish.
