Creative Writing: The French Indians

Improved Essays
The French? Monsters! The Indians? Just as Bad! What have they done for us? They stole our land, took our material, and took up to 20,000 British pounds. Now do you want that money back? Do you want that land back? Come tell your government to join us and unify so we can be stronger and get our property! You know what happens when we all don't work together? Look at what happened with Commander Washington. He went in the battle by himself and his men. 44 men and no cannons against 360 battleships and canoes, 1000 men, and 18 pieces of artillery. What do you think would happen if they fought? Instead, Washington was forced to surrender Fort Necessity. Do we want that to happen again? Do we want the French and the Indians to take our territory? Not at all, but if we don't join as one, that’s what shall happen. …show more content…
The French and indian stole their greatest land. They all lost their goods, homes, lands, and skins. I’ve been informed that besides the french their already, we near 400 french soldiers coming up the Ohio and 600 indians joining them. It doesn't stop there, many more French are expected to come from Canada, too. It is all part of the plan for the Indians to settle in the river valley; our river valley! They might even send Indians to kill any colost and ruin the frontier. Now do you want to be part of the change that helps us defeat them or the change the helps us lose to

    Napoleon Michigan is a fantastic place - to be from. A four-way stop sign in the middle of the state, if you blink you may miss it. As a kid, the insignificance of the place doesn’t matter. What does matter are the rolling hills that collect snow, perfect for sledding. The numerous lakes, great for cooling off in the summer, and skating on in the winter.…

    The French and Indian war remains a very consequential war because it changed the fate of North America. Before the war, there was an “Imperial rivalry between Britain and France” (Brennan, slide 4) that had persisted for centuries. This divide was inflamed by conflicting claims to land in the Ohio river valley; where the British had settled and the French had built forts. The war began when general George Washington led an attack on France’s Fort Necessity. France emerged victorious here, but Britain later declared war on France.…

    Issue and Controversies in American History Dawes Act Americans believed in 1840, that they had to move westward; although the land was taken by the Native Americans. The Dawes Act, was a way to end the conflict between white settlers and the Indians; by giving the Indians and settlers their own plots of land. After the American Revolution white settlers continued to come to the New World, taking more from the natives for ranches, railroads, mining interest, as well as their own needs, causing the natives to have to move farther west. The government sought out to resolve the issue by giving the Indians large pieces of lands called reservations. Whites weren’t allowed to trespass on the land.…

    Many of our parents, textbooks, and even teachers fail to mention the early life before European arrival onto American soil. Most Americans don’t even know about the complex irrigation systems Natives built, the glorious cities which stood before the Europeans, and even the thousands of diverse tribes who had their own language, cultures, and history. Many textbooks illustrate and write about how Europeans have had a huge impact on our country, but what about the impact Natives had? Native Americans have had just as big of an impact on our country’s history as Europeans, even though textbooks fail to mention it.…

    I am chief Pontiac of the Ottawa tribe. Many historians have discredited me with their accounts of my involvement in the resistance movement against the British so I am here to set some things straight.

By 1755, I had become chief and many of my people looked up to me to lead them through the resistance of the British Colonies. I allied with the French Colonies and aided them to many victorious.…

    An Analysis and History of Native American Injustices Everyone in the U.S. grows up learning about Columbus, Thanksgiving, and the British colonies. Meanwhile all that many are taught about the indigenous peoples is that the “savages” showed the Europeans how to farm, there was a good harvest, and then they lived happily ever after. A majority of people doesn’t know what the history teachers leave out. The Europeans came to the Americas not just to explore but instead to profit from its resources. Also it was the Ancient Siberians – the ancestors of the Native Americans – who found the Americas, not Columbus or Leif Erikson.…

    The history of Native Americans and settlers in the New World has long been biased towards that of the colonists settling in America. Few people know the extent to which the bias exists and they also don’t stop to consider the perspective of the people that have rightful ownership of the land. What most people do know are the stories of conquest that are often taught in school. These accounts are heavily in favor of the settlers and paint Native Americans as the savage evildoers hell-bent on ruining lives.…

    It is pretty simple, the natives were there first, therefore they get the land. Indians discovered America hundreds of years before the British. The British did not find new land, they found already owned land. If the Americans wanted the land, they could have paid the natives for it or tried to make some sort of trade. Instead, the British barged in acting like they owned the place.…
