thesis and outline #2

Hook/introduction.
I) Main point #1: Native Americans were one of the major Causes for Bacons Rebellion
----a) Indians killed, pillaged, burned 13 out of the 18 English colonies.
----b) cited evidence--- Ben’s power points, very factual and interesting (I don’t know how to summarize the power point

II) Main point#2: the Native Americans attacks were the reason bacon didn’t like the Governor which started the whole mess.
------a) the governor was protecting the Indians because of the profitable trading of beaver pelts from the Indians to England.
------b) cited works: unknown author, document# 9 and #38

III) Main point #3: why the Indians are responsible or BR (need to change to not sound redundant)
------a) the Indian attacks led to an increase of tax’s so that the fort could use the money to fend off the Indians.
------b)cited works: Howard Zinn, pg 40. The whole article is about the diversification and the gap between the rich and poor. The laws and taxes that disabled the poor even further was also an issue.

Discussion: this is where I input the “I SAY” of the essay since the paper in an interpretation of primary documents and other credible sources. I will summarize what I think the Rebellion is all about and it will have my perspective on the viewpoints. Also where I relate the Rebellion to today.
