Expansion of the west definitely impacted the Native Americans in plenty of ways, it changed their culture and way of life. Native Americans were forced to adjust to the American way of life, although not all Native Americans wanted to such as Chief Sitting Bull but others took the change peacefully like Chief Black Kettle. What caused the expansion to the west was the transcontinental railroad which linked the nation. In order to build the railroad and allow settlers to move in along it the US…
1. One part that I found interesting in Twain’s “Stagecoach Bits” was his description of the mail that was three days late. The amount that was placed not only in the coach with the passengers but also with in various other places besides the roof leaves one to only guess how that coach looked when it was done being loaded. Twain leaves this image of an overstocked coach with barely any room inside as the mail sacks rise to the sky. Secondly, was their snap judgment to strip down to their…
Also 1/7 of cowboys were black and another 1/7 was Hispanic and the rest were white, and normally most cowboys are white. Another reason why racially the old west could’ve been violent was in 1870 was more than half foreign born. Also people all spoke different languages and they were not very friendly with each other. Even in the Military history there was an all-black group called the Buffalo soldiers. Also in the Battle of Beecher’s Island, the U.S. Military and the Indians of the plains…

Cheyenne Scott Ms. Wooley English 2, 1st Block 17/Aug/17 Kate Chopin’s Story on Female Discovery What was expected of women in the 1890s? Complacency, obedience, and a good attitude; a contented acceptance of this role. A happiness to exist as subservient beings, and not much else. Some would say this expectation is still latent in society today, and though to say womens’ rights haven’t progressed since the 1890s is blatantly dishonest, it’s equally dishonest to suggest…

In truth, can we expect teenagers to make good decisions at this age? Adolescents are overwhelmed with grades, part-time jobs, and college applications. Bullying is one exploit no one should go through, especially at this age, but there are ways to stop it. Some say plastic surgery is one of the answers to bullying. In Source A, one in two teenagers, as young as thirteen, want plastic surgery to modify their appearances, but I do not believe that plastic surgery is the best solution to…
Lane Frost Lane Frost was born on Oct. 12, 1963, in La Junta, and lived a life most cowboys know well. Clyde Frost, Lane’s father, rode saddle bronc and bareback on a rodeo circuit. His mother, Elsie, stayed with her parents while she was expecting Lane. It could be said that “cowboying”, as most Oklahoma cowboys call it, was in his blood. Frost started riding dairy calves on the family’s farm when he was five or six. He first rode a grown bull when he was nine. About this time, Frost met…
Born August 5rd 1903, in Cheyenne, Wyoming was Rensis Likert to George and Cornelia Likert. His father was an engineer for Union Pacific Railroads and that is what initially got Likert interested in that line of work. That interest is what leads him to studying civil engineering when he entered the University of Michigan in 1922. It was a few years later when he took a course in Sociology that opened his eyes to what he truly loved to study and that was people, specifically people in the…
