Text Analysis In Defense of Columbus

Summarize in a sentence, each of the two counterclaims that are presented in depth, on the back of your text. Write an E next to the pieces of evidence the author uses to disprove the two counterclaims. Validating the sources: On a scale of 1-5, five being the highest, how would you rate the bias of this source. How does your rating impact the validity of the source?
