American Literature assignment

In 1000 words, please describe how “community” figures into our readings from each subsection: Indigenous America, Colonial America and the Atlantic World, and American Liberty. What do our readings tell us about the “communities” which produced the text, i.e. early Native Americans, Puritans, and colonial settlers. What bound these communities together, respectively? What were individual responsibilities within the “community”? What was each communities relationship to their “higher powers,” their histories, their youth, their elderly, their units of trade (stories, food, land, money, etc)? How did each community deal with “good” vs. “evil”? Who was excluded from these communities? How were these ideas on community expressed, and how might this mode of expression loop back to the community from which it came? One could spend their whole word allotment focusing on just one of these questions, and that would be appropriate. However, do not try to answer all of them in one post.
