Indian Removal, a controversy that dates back to America’s founding, has had its supporters and its critics. In 1877, the American government forced the Wal-lam-wat-kin band of the Nez Perce Indians to move from their lands and into an Indian reservation. Their chief In-mut-too-yah-lat-lat, whom Americans address by Joseph, traveled to Lincoln Hall in Washington, D.C. two years later to advocate for Indian freedom as conditions in the reservation worsened. His goal was to convince American…

Some Native Americans did not believe land could be bought or sold. Some tribes, like the Nez Perce, refused to give up their ancestral lands (Nez Perce Wars). In the textbook “Washington a State of Contrasts”, it notes that tribes “did not own land individually” but instead “used natural resources to provide food and shelter”. Also, the Native Americans and white settlers…

that Chief Joseph was one of the leaders and was the spokesperson for the Nez Perce Indians. “ From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever”. This quote appeals to ethos due to the fact that the quote itself applies to ethics and Chief Joesph’s own beliefs and morals. He doesn't want to fight anymore because more than half of this people are missing, weak, and even dead. If he didn’t surrender, the Nez Perce Indians would've been…

There can be no doubt that the Lewis and Clark expedition was a monumental juncture in American history – the lands that they explored more than two hundred years ago are today home to millions of Americans. However, at the time, most Americans had only a faint conception of what genuinely existed west of their homes. They could not have imagined the spectacular lands of the Pacific coast, territory that would become, arguably, the nation 's most highly sought-after within 50 years. However,…

identity of Native Americans who were once the leaders of the Americas prior to European colonization. The conforming of Native Americans amplifies social inequality in society as the Native Americans were not allowed to be an independent group. The Nez Percé chief also asserts “we ask to be recognized as men. We ask that the same law shall work alike on all men”.6 This magnifies the social inequality between Native Americans and non-Native Americans. The evidence supports the claim that Native…

Morgan says that the american citizens are responsible for westward expansion. Morgan also believes that “there is properly no history, only biography.” This shows that not everything you believe about Thomas Jefferson causing westward expansion is true. Westward expansion was caused and powered by the american people, contrary to the belief that Jefferson started and caused everything. “The historian John Buchanan has called the westward expansion, or Manifest Destiny ‘the greatest folk…

As Lewis and i continued our journey we hoped to see horses nearby. Then we saw an Indian on horseback, it was the first time we saw an Indian since Fort Mandan. The Shoshone led us to the chief who ended up being the brother of Sacagawea. Sacagawea was helping us translate as we were bargaining with the Chief. As the price goes higher everyday to trade i ended up having to give my knife, pistol and one hundred rounds of ammunition. In exchange i got horses. Most of the horses were in poor…

Morgan’s central idea in the article was that not only was Jefferson behind westward expansion, but many citizens were behind it as well. The article showed how most citizens played a role in westward expansion. Meanwhile, the other three text mainly pointed toward the president, Thomas Jefferson, being the main cause of westward expansion. In fact, the citizens did have a main part of it. If the people were not there to settle the land explorers have founded in the West, it would have all been…

Hello, we are Lewis and Clark. We were born in the 1770s and grew up to be two of the most successful explores in American history. Our expedition started as President Jefferson purchased the Louisiana Territory and asked us to explore and make friends with the Indians. President Jefferson gave us instructions to travel along the Missouri River and find a waterway to the Pacific. Our expedition started out on the 4th of July in 1804. As we explored, we came across villages of the Mandan and…

The Appaloosa horse is best known for its unique spotted pattern. Originally developed by Nez Perce indians, this breed almost went extinct in the 1870s, but has since made a comeback. Appaloosa horses require the same care as most other horses.There are several guidelines for caring horses in several categories. One category is provisions for feed, water, and habitat. Appaloosa horses, like most horses, primarily eat grass. They also “eat things like hay, concentrates, and treats” (Sanderson,…
