Gregg v. Georgia

The removal was very unjustified because we were unfair and made a lot of people die, we did.This is why the Indian removal act was unjustified and how America can be towards others. Imagine how it would feel to lose your home and have to walk about 1,000 miles to get to your new home.“The Cherokees lost approximately one-fourth of their people to disease, malnourishment, and hardship.”This is only one hardship they faced.√The removal was unjustified because the native Americans owned the land…

Throughout history, the United States of America has been involved in numerous conflicts. These conflicts have involved cultures all over the world and as a result we often see prejudice in our own country. This prejudice is often directed towards the citizens that have cultural ties to the perceived enemy. Having such a diverse culture within the U.S. is considered to be a good thing, but during times of war it can trigger harsh and negative treatment towards individuals that are looked at as…

The Fort Laramie Treaty in 1868 stated that the Great Sioux Nation Reservation that included the Black Hills in western South Dakota be exempt from any and all white settlement until the end of time. With this the tribe was given protected hunting rights under the treaty. Until European Americans discovered gold in the black hills around 1874 and from that moment the Sioux reservation and its peoples would, again, have their lives disturbed by the government and its “promises”. The famous…

The Piedmont is a very special region. The piedmont is the second largest region in Georgia, and is located in between the Blue Ridge region and the coastal plain region. The Piedmont is classified by its rolling hills and Georgia red clay. Red clay appears the color red because of the iron oxide in the clay.

If you had been forced away from your family, community, and culture (as Native children were until the mid-1980s) how might you have turned out differently? What would you have missed learning without your personal cultural influences? The Indian Removal Act was signed into law by President Andrew Jackson on May 28, 1830 to permit the elimination of Indian tribes to federal territory west of the Mississippi River. According to our text (McNamara & Burns) the government then held the belief that…

The Dakota pipeline is a 1,172 mile pipeline designed to carry over 500,000 barrels of crude oil per day from North Dakota to Illinois, and will cost around $3.8 billion to construct. The pipeline is full of ethical issues because the tribes were not properly consulted before construction began, and the pipeline passes within half a mile of the reservation, through burial sites and sacred landmarks, and crosses the Missouri River and Lake Oahe, which provide the tribe’s drinking water.It is due…

“In the beginning of the 1830’s, nearly 125,000 Native Americans lived on millions of acres of land in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, and Georgia. This land was passed down generations to generations.” (History) The idea of the Indians owning so much land, angered white settlers very much. President Andrew Jackson, had to do something about this issue. To the white settlers, Indians were uncivilized, unfamiliar, and alien people. They hated the fact of the Indians occupying so…

truth is definitely something that ties in with religion and belief itself. “These hidden letters serve as a bridge to their love for one another. Even though they are not physically together, they are emotionally and spiritually together.” (Stephen V 1). Nettie’s letters are what gives Celie a certain strength she…
