3
What can you get by war? ...What is the cause of your jealousy? You see us unarmed,
4 and willing to supply your wants, if you come in a friendly manner, and not with swords
5 or guns, as to invade an enemy... I therefore, beg you to peaceable councils, and
6 above all, I insist that guns and swords, the cause of all our jealousy and uneasiness,
7 be removed and sent away...
1) Sourcing: Who is the audience of this speech? How do you know?

Answer 1

Answer:

The british colonists

The fact that it mentions in the text gives an obvious clue. Also many natives americans were not equiped with weapons such as swords and guns giving them unequal competition to the colonists. The time stamp also indicated the times of where colonists had first arrived to stay and inhabit.
