My thesis statement was, “European justifications of Imperialism were often fully rejected by Native populations.” Each body paragraph was intended to show a European justification and how it was rejected by the colonized. I can definitely see how this seems weak/doesn’t fully address the prompt, which asks about “attitudes,” but based on the documents they gave us it seemed like we should focus on the justifications.

Is it okay if the thesis is more than one sentence?

Also is it better to have 2 body paragraphs or 3?

Thanks for your help!
