Rhetorical Analysis Of Red Jacket - 757 Words

Red Shirt’s Speech In 1800’s following the American Revolution, the new American Government and the indigenous Native American people had to learn how to coexist. In order to successful work with together, there was a need for translators and mediators. One of these mediators was named Red Jacket, a chief and orator for the Seneca Tribe in New York. For his leadership and efforts in maintaining peace, Red Jacket was recognized by President George Washington. In 1805, the U.S government sought to proselytize, convert the Native Americans to Christianity, the Seneca tribe which was met by opposition from Red Jacket and his people. In the speech, Red Jacket Defends Native American Religion, 1805, Red Jacket builds an argument to persuade his†¦show more content†¦At first the Indians welcomed the Americans with open arms and generosity and were in turn given â€Å"poison†, alcohol diseases, and a war. If these men who devastated his people were Christians, then it is not a religion h is people are interested in. Furthermore, Red Jacket uses the past to tell the British how the Great Spirit created, has guided, and provided for his people over the years. It was not until the America â€Å"forefathers† came to the Seneca Tribe, that conflict began to arise.

He also believes the logic that the Americans are using for proselytizing is invalid. They claim their religion is the right one because it has been passed from father to son in a book.
