Johansen, Bruce E. Forgotten Founders: Benjamin Franklin, the Iroquois, and the Rationale for the American Revolution. Ipswich, MA: Gambit, 1982. Print.
In this section of "Forgotten Founders"by Johansen, he talks most about the effects of communication of Indian ideas and how those particular ideas affected the foundation of America. He explains all of the great things the Indian peoples gave to the incoming Pilgrims, along with his display of certain bias' and ideas from historians that agree with the topic of interest. But although this piece of text gives you extra information about the Native peoples and how they affected America, it contains a specific bias that eventually overpowers the text making it hard for the reader to gain breadth from other groups from the time period. The source could help us in our study of American Colonization by gaining information about what other things the Indian people gave to the foundation of America but it does contain a bias that effects the amount of new information we could possibly gain and what types of perspectives we could learn and acknowledge from this source.
