change and clash between the two: on one hand there is the Lakota and Cheyenne were they are buffalo/horse people, and on the other hand there is the United States is industrial/agricultural people. From 1868 the US and Lakota negotiated on the Fort Laramie Treaty; however, that made conflict towards the other tribes (National Park Service Website).

the tribes we peaceful and quite. In 1854, there was an incident with the Mormons. One of their cows was killed and eaten by the hungry Brule. These Brule were placed along the North Platte River. The Mormons complained to the commandant at Fort Laramie who immediately responded to investigate. This move only made things worst causing fear and distrust among the whites. This resulted in the government sending men to restore peace. The mixture of these two calvarias were devastating. Children…

Lots of bison furs were transported back to Saint Louis in the twelve hours that we were at the fort. Just in case the fall prairie winds are bitter this…

In chapters two and three, Janet R. Jakobsen and Ann Pellegrini write about the preconceived notion that homosexuality is a choice, as well as the damaging outcome of tolerance in the United States. Dominant conceptions of “majority rule” determine what is right and what is wrong, ultimately creating a discrimination among those who do not fit the mould of white protestant christian beliefs. Because of their lifestyles, many who live in the minority are ostracized, or worse killed. Freedom is…

Due to a treaty with Great Britain, Polk was able to add a majority of the Oregon territory to the U.S., but Great Britain would give up its claim entirely. Polk wanted to get Britain out of North America, seeing as Spain and Russia had given up their claims. Again Manifest Destiny can be seen, the need to expand the U.S.'s power and hold of the nation. To "demand more than you want or expect, then, as you reduce your claim, you appear magnanimous", which sums up Polk's policies as president…
