Historian Colin Calloway argues that in the late colonial period preceding the American Revolution (1775-1783), the British government sought to seal off territory west of the Appalachian Mountain from the encroachment of land-hungry White settlers, to negotiate with Native American peoples as independent foreign states, and to guarantee the integrity of traditional native American hunting grounds. By contrast, White Americans, released by the out break of the Revolution from the constraints of Britain’s allegedly benevolent policies, are portrayed by Calloway as ruthless land-grabbers whose new national government endorsed their rapacity. Bernard Bailyn argues, however, that the “Americans” who encroached on Native American land during the Revolution had been British only a few years before. When, during and after the Revolution, White Americans seized Native American land by any available means, they were continuing a tradition dating back to
the earliest years of English settlement in North America
. And, according to Bailyn, the British government’s prewar efforts to preserve the trans-Appalachian west for Native Americans resulted not from humanitarian virtue or ethnic tolerance but from British Merchants’ desire to maintain their lucrative trade with native Americans and the government’ s desire to control immigration and avoid costly conflict between White and Native Americans over land.
The primary purpose of the passage is to
选项
A、suggest that two different arguments about a particular historical period are both questionable
B、present historical evidence that undermines a widely accepted viewpoint
C、defend a revisionist historian’s thesis against traditionalist criticism
D、outline opposing interpretations of a particular historical phenomenon
E、resolve a dispute among historians over a controversial historical episode
答案
D
解析
本题属于主旨题。本文没有作者的观点,只是引用了两个相互对立的观点,因此选项D正确。A项本文没有作者的观点,故不可能对两个对立观点给出正或负的评价。B项文中未提及a widely accepted viewpoint。C项文中未提及a revisionist historian。E项本文是呈现争议,而非解决争议。
