Read the excerpt below and answer the question. To interrupt another, even in common Conversation, is reckon'd highly indecent. How different this is, from
the Conduct of a polite British House of Commons where scarce every person without some confusion, that
makes the Speaker hoarse in calling to Order and how different from the Mode of Conversation in many
polite Companies of Europe, where if you do not deliver your Sentence with great Rapidity, you are cut off in

To show that Native Americans at times are more civil than Puritans.

Explanation:

Benjamin Franklin's "Remarks Concerning the Savages of North America" was written to show the writer's appreciation of the Native Indians and their 'customs' as compared to the 'civilized' people like the Whites. In his 1784 prose, Franklin points out how the Indians were thought to be 'barbaric' while the whites think of themselves as the most civilized race.

In the given excerpt, Franklin shows the civilized nature of the Indians by recounting their behavior during any Council. He states that while normal "councils" of the British House or in companies in Europe are more accustomed to being met with 'constant conversation and at times even disrupted, the Indians show more civility in their behavior. He reveals, "To interrupt another, even in common Conversation, is reckon'd highly indecent." This sarcastic and satirical comment is to shows how Native Americans are more civilized than the Puritans.
