In “remarks concerning the savages of north america,” franklin asserts that the colonists are the true “savages” (not the native americans). identify two arguments he makes to prove his case. are these arguments effective? why or why not?

In "Remarks Concerning The Savages of North America," Benjamin Franklin wants to defend the reputation of Native Americans by arguing that they were not "savages," as Europeans thought. Instead, they were very advanced people with social rules that were just as complex and virtuous as those of colonists, and sometimes even more so.

He gives many arguments to support this claim, but one example is the way they conducted councils. Everyone in the community participated in these councils, and Franklin argues that speakers did not interrupt each other, listened attentively and conducted everything with order and decency. He compares this to the way the British House of Commons carried out its sessions: the speaker constantly calling to order amid interruptions and confusion.

Another example he gives is that of the interactions between the two groups. Franklin says that when Europeans met Native Americans, they crowded around them, staring at them and making them uncomfortable. The Native Americans were just as curious about Europeans. However, they looked at them from afar, discreetly, and without getting in their way.

Both examples are very successful in proving Franklin's point. He takes examples of practices that exist in both ethnic groups. Moreover, he discusses factors that are considered important as markers of civility. Finally, his observations are factually-based.
