    To be part of an ideology, to be something that would become influential for centuries come, would you go as far to lose an eye, a limb, or even your life for independence? A lot has happened since the summer of 1775. A new charismatic leader named General George Washington held us by the hand and promised us he'd take them to the path of victory.

(Edmunds pg 205) “Had he appeared fifty years sooner he might have set bounds to the Anglo-Saxon race in the West” (Edmunds pg 205)…

    Imagine a world where there weren’t consequences to the decisions that have been made regarding the “discovery” of the Americas and the unethical treatment made towards the Native Americans. Would the indigenous people have more rights? Would they be more successful as a nation now without the involvement of the white man? Surely the answer would be yes, however it is too late to ask ourselves questions like that. This essay will look at two court cases described in Walter Echo-Hawk’s book, In the Courts of the Conqueror, a book that details ten of the most negatively impactful court cases in Unites States history regarding the treatment of Native Americans and how they are still being impacted to this very day by the rulings of those cases.…

    Articles Of Confederation vs. Constitution Before the Constitution of the United States was incorporated as the Supreme Law of the Land, the Founding Fathers drafted the “Articles of Confederation”, which can be deemed as a “mini constitution” which contained many flaws and inaccuracies which the Fathers attempted to rectify and improve upon. Initially, the U.S. was not actually united in the legal sense – rather, they were a loose confederation of states (hence the Articles of Confederation) independent of national authority and supremacy. For example, the States coined their own money, taxed their own citizens, controlled their own trade and commerce – and there was no President who would oversee the States to execute the law. With these few examples demonstrating the fallacies of the Aricles, we have already grasped a few problems. Firstly, how are the States capable of conducting trade and business with each other if they individually coin different currencies?…

    Historians believe that the Market Revolution was the most relevant fact in the period between 1793 and 1850. This belief is prevalent because the Market Revolution changed the way people lived their lives, as it was a time when farmers stopped being self-sufficient and started producing in order to sell. There are three main topics of why the Market Revolution was so important for historians, ranging from the revolution in Transportation and Communication, changes in agriculture and its commerce, and lastly, the beginning of an Industrialization Era. Transportation and Communication are two different revolutions that happened simultaneously, completely increasing the speed that people and goods were travelling and communicating around due…

    The Indian Removal Act, which was passed by Congress in 1830, completely changed the path for the future in multiple aspects. In determining what impact this event still has on our country today, one must start by analyzing the relationships between Native Americans, the United States government, and the common white settler. Additionally, one must analyze how the removal of these tribes affected not only them, but the white settlers. Socially, Native Americans were viewed as no more than objects in the way of what the Americans viewed as rightfully theirs.…

    The Colonists and Native Americans The relationship between the Colonists and Native Americans was a rocky one to say the least. Often times the focus of American history revolves around the war for independence and the beginning of the American government, but in reality American history began much sooner. Native Americans and early Colonists had once hoped to work together and mutually benefit one another, one can clearly see that this did not work. History shows us how and if violence could have been avoided, what the main causes of conflict were, and which party appeared to be most at fault. One thought provoking question that could be asked is whether violence could have been avoided, or if it was imminent.…

    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.…

    As Europeans expanded across the nation the status of Native Americans “changed from a majority culture of peoples living in sovereign nations to a disadvantaged minority living apart from mainstream U.S culture and subordinate to U.S law” (Shaw et.al.2015:31). The model of economic/political disempowerment applies to the Native Americans as seen through the Indian nations loss of land, power, and independence, all of which has had lasting consequences. An example of such model is the decline of sovereignty, in the beginning period of Sovereignty (1700s-1830s) native nations and the British/U. S government entered treaties as co-equals when exchanging demands, doing such over 400 treaties were signed between the groups which suggest that there was a respect for the native communities as being independent nations (Wk:3, Lecture 2). The period of sovereignty declined steadily as Europeans expanded westward which put white settlers into frequent contact with the native population. The white settlers greedily craved the natives land and resources which created conflict that they thought they could resolve with treaties but the growing U.S population proved to be too much to peacefully resolve with treaties.…
