Unit 5 Part 2 (24th Infantry)

After I did some analyzing and researching on the 24th infantry document, I choose to analyze the letter archives of John W. Weeks. From my understanding of this, the 24 infantry was being misrepresented by the agents based on the document. Now I looked in the report and the infantry was being claimed as a the key phrase “a grave menance” to the country. I noticed that the document stated that the infantry was being involved in a dispute that is uncivil with soldiers that was supposed to be deployed and other character that was supposed to be disinformed. Based on that information that was shared there, John W. Weeks had provided an argument of his own with the investigation that is supposed to be written by the officers that is involved. In my understanding, the report said that the officers had to gathered the evidence that has stated Weeks feelings of how it was “favorably upon the discipline, appearance, soldierly qualities, loyalty, respect,” and plenty of adjectives that was disdainful. I think that the audience can put it in their own perspectives on how the officer had chosen to handle the being that were “Inferior” and were involved in those kinds of activities that really changed the environment based on the comparison of the modern era condition and the way the law chooses to enforces it. I also noticed that the letter revealed that there was a foulness of racism in the era of the 1920s but the set up of how it was presented without any perspective from other people was being constructed in the allegations that is not true.

Now the only issue that I had with this document was that Weeks was assailed with his own work and his own views that were contended. There were problems with the southern border and racism that was dealt with. I believe that there was not anything to hide when it comes to the causes and effects of racism when it became clear but I do feel like I was tied with the issue with the southern border. The border had showed there was a question of the infantry. Keep in mind this problem was brought up when the government official examined the documents to tell how there was no longer a telegram put into question. Based on this information of the document, there was an enforcement of getting the position that is newly formed that was affected with government officials.

Now the only limitations that I noticed when I read the letter was I was trying to think to myself of seeing the point of view that was based on the conditions that was questionable. Throughout the letter, there were some points that were relevant as I was being bias. In the end, I had a lot of time to analyze and research the context behind the letter.

To conclude, reading this document has really taught me a lot to really be more open-minded with my mindset. I really want to do this in the future because it helps to put your skills to the test when it comes to analyzing any historical sources and text. Also, we can use the P.A.P.E.R method to structure an essay and we can deep think as well in analyzing a historical document. The questions that I have is when it comes to analyze the contexts of any historical text and sources, is there really evidences that backs up the historical text or sources. Is there more details that they are included in the historical text or sources.
