Primary Source Analysis
One of the key ideas of this document was to reveal to Americans the Klu Klux Klan's perception on white supremacy and also why they considered themselves to be the greatest race in the world. In particular, Evans employs patriotism in some manner to proclaim to Americans that one important element of being American, is to understand that they are superior to other people. In addition, Evans attempts to justify the actions and ideas of the group by linking them to "the mass of the old-stock Americans" who cannot be linked to the "intellectually mongrelized Liberals." In addition, Evans delineates the aspect of Americanism, which he ties to his notion of anti-aliens. He asserts that the immigrants are the ones that should be considered a threat against Americanism. He considered aliens to be a threat because he thought that they blatantly lacked the qualities that made Americans great and exceptional. In addition, the document clearly points out the intentions and plans for the days coming as he concludes by saying "We have merely awakened to the fact that we must fight for our own. We are going to fight -- and win!..."[footnoteRef:1] This went on to generate the underground battle forged by the KKK and the numerous deaths of black people that fell on to their hands.

His family relocated to Texas where Evans went to Vanderbilt University to study dentistry. However, he left the establishment devoid of attaining a college degree, however, in the year 1900, he went on to set himself up as a dentist. Two decades later, in 1920, Evans linked himself with the Ku Klux Klan and a year later, he went on to be the leader of Klansmen that abducted Alex Johnson, who was a black bellhop working at the Adolphus Hotel and the group marked KKK on his head using acid. Two years later, subsequent to his entry in the KKK, Evans grew to become the group's Imperial Wizard. This indicates some of the author's facts regarding his life that indicate his bias on the context of the text being discussed. Owing to his leadership skills, the Ku Klux Klan significantly and quickly grew with members of the group being elected to political power positions in different states such as Indiana, Oklahoma and Texas. Three years later, the KKK had about four million members. Evans eventually resigned from the position of Imperial Wizard in the year 1939.[footnoteRef:2] [2: Simkin, J. "Hiram Wesley Evans."

Primary Source Analysis The Aztec chronicler who wrote the account of the Spanish conquest notes that, from the start, the Spaniards had come to make war, but does not give much account of Motecuhzoma's psychological motivations for approaching them.

The British response to this, however, was extreme -- eventually in the expulsion and mass migration of the Acadians, but more immediately in the reaction of the council to the Acadians' memorials. They determined that the Acadians who had presented the memorials were "arrogant and insidious[...]and were severely reprimanded for their Audacity in Subscribing and Presenting so impertinent
The most superficial is the use of numbers, or lack thereof. Whereas quantitative research emphasizes the study of factors that can be explicitly measured, qualitative data is more descriptive. This has a couple of key implications. The first is that qualitative data is inherently more subjective. It is directly subject to interpretation from the researcher. Quantitative data can be interpreted by the researcher, but ultimately the data is presented
