 +[[ap_euro:exploration_dbq#document_2|Document 2]] and [[ap_euro:exploration_dbq#document_4|Document 4]] touch on smallpox.
 +
 +[[ap_euro:exploration_dbq#document_2|Document 2]] and [[ap_euro:exploration_dbq#document_5|Document 5]] shows the flipside of the religious support, as it is clear that expanding Christianity (specifically Catholicism) is their ulterior motive.

 +[[ap_euro:exploration_dbq#document_2|Document 2]] and [[ap_euro:exploration_dbq#document_6|Document 6]] represent the "more accepting" side of the religious native-supporters.

 +=== Notes ===
 +  * As stated in [[ap_euro:exploration_dbq#document_2|Document 2]], smallpox devastated the native population, wiping almost **90%** of the population
 +  * Also, note the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Fort_Pitt|blankets]]
 +
 +==== Document 5 ====
 +{{:ap_euro:2020-10-28-120542_618x249_scrot.png?direct|}}
 +
 +=== Notes ===
 +  * Religion played a large role in supporting the colonization of the new world, as it allowed the Catholic states to spread a religion that is being fought against in the Old World at the time.
 +  * This is an illusion of free choice, as they are given a choice to baptism or not, but will be murdered and enslaved if they don't.
 +  * Also note that this would be spoken to the natives in Spanish, which means that they were given a false ultimatum in a gibberish language. The natives basically had no choice.
 +
 +==== Document 6 ====
 +{{:ap_euro:2020-10-28-120547_614x158_scrot.png?direct|}}
 +
 +=== Notes ===
 +  * ''Finally, let all savagery and apparatus of war, which are better suited to Muslims than Christians, be done away with.'' **KEKW** Based and Christian-pilled.
 +  * The more accepting Europeans heavily valued religion and integration with Christianity to save the natives. Which kinda sucks if you don't want to be religious nor conquered/enslaved.
 +
 +==== Document 7 ====
 +{{:ap_euro:2020-10-28-120552_620x134_scrot.png?direct|}}
 +
 +=== Notes ===
 +  * Probably the most "accepting" out of all the documents
 +  * Written by a French Renaissance essayist.
 +  * Though there is still ethnocentrism, he argues that they are the natural evolution of humans.
 +  * Unknown if the above is an insult or not.
 +  * Also, the document is named //On Cannibals// which is fucking hilarious.
