In our box, we put six items that have to do with Minnesota history. The first item that we put in our box is Wild rice and we put this item in this box because this is one of the things that the native Americans eat their food.

In WW2 we won because the other side (Germany) wanted to take over all and we did not allow that and basically we won because they ran out of bullets. The fourth item is a fishing lure, and we put this in the box because the Native Americans (again) fished in rivers like this Mississippi River where we live right by and they lived on it in summer, so basically they fished the rivers and lakes around Minnesota in summer and this was one of their number one food type.

    “The Treaty Story”, By the Minnesota Historical Society, and “What Does Justice Look Like?” by Wazyatawin are two pieces about Native American treaties when Minnesota was first being established. They both discuss the initial discovery of the land by fur traders and European settlers in the 1700’s and on, as well as the first communication between natives and white settlers. Both are credible, factual, and reliable, but they differ when it comes to the speaker, the audience, and the word choice used throughout each text. “The Treaty Story” is an online interactive text meant for 6th grade students in Minneapolis Public Schools who are in the Minnesota history course; therefore the Minnesota Historical Society wrote it to be as unbiased as possible.…

    If you've ever thought of the Midwest state wise, you've probably heard of the term "Minnesota Nice". The social construct of helping one another whether they're your neighbors or complete strangers. From the outside, "Minnesota Nice" sounds like an impressive trait that other states should pick up, but when looked from the inside you can see inter-webbed rules that outline that phrase.

Since "Minnesota Nice" had been so well applauded from the rest of the world, its underbelly of what it is had been made culturally acceptable as well.…

    Back in the 1800 's the U.S wanted to do a lot with only a little bit of power, and they eventually did do a lot over time. But one thing they wanted to do was expand and just to keep expanding to try and get as much land, money, and friends as possible to become big and strong like of other countries. The only difference was that the United States were a brand new country so they weren 't very big nor powerful, so they took many risks during the time they were getting larger. So considering all of this, the United States back in the 1800 's were too greedy during their Westward Movement for threatening, motivating and seizing things that weren 't theirs.…

    In 1931 a group of homeless young black teenagers were riding a train going from town to town in search of work. While riding a train, that would stop in Scottsboro after the fight, the young men engaged in a fight with a group of young white men on a train. After said fight, while the police were investigating the fight, two young white women, that were riding the train illegally, claimed that the group of 9 black teenagers had raped them.

    Although the Northern states and the Southern states had their differences in their beliefs, on profuse occasions—specifically on slavery—compromises had squelch down the bad blood between them. However, in 1789, even after the Constitution was adopted by all of the States to amalgamate as a nation, for more than thirty years, the temporarily ceased frictions between the North and South went to and fro once more. Thus, by 1861, these opposing ideals between the disputants were so prodigious that the compromises do not seem enticing to either antithetical stance. Henceforth, this led to the secession of the Southern states, much to the Northern states’ disgust and eventually to the Civil War.…
