Oklahoma Territory

PART 1: NATIVES Key Characteristics of the Cherokee: • They originally occupied the Southeast • Around half of them were wiped out due to smallpox by the mid-1700s • They were forcibly removed from their area and forced to go to “Indian Territory”, which is now Oklahoma • About 4,000 of them died during the trip • The earth is suspended at each of the four cardinal points by a cord hanging from the sky vault, which is of solid rock • At first the earth was flat and very soft and wet The story…

camps for the army. They stole everything that they owned from their homes. They also burned down their farm land area and their food so that they have no reason to return. Two hundred thousand Native Americans were marching for one thousand miles to Oklahoma throughout the seasons. The weather conditions were very harsh at times, especially in the winter. It took them eight years to finally reach their destination. They had very little food, clothes and medical care therefore many elderly and…

for new lands in American territory (Lapanskey-Werner, et al page 254). The Jackson Administration urged many Native Americans to sell their land and move out of the southern territory which a ajority did; however, the Cherokee Indians refused to move and went to the Supreme Court (Lapanskey-Werner, et al page 253). The Supreme Court eventually ruled that the Cherokee Indians be allowed to remain on their land, but Jackson decided to force them out of the southern territory, along a Trail of…

industries. Rails had started replacing canals and allowing goods and people to get to places quicker than before. This caused people to live longer and the boom in industry created jobs for the “common man” to fill. This helped increase the want for territory in the West, which caused more conflict with the Indians that lived there. Attitudes towards the Indians had changed from Jefferson’s era, the white settlers no longer thought of them as “noble savages,” but just as savages that needed to…

Homework 1.Connect the clash of cultures on the ‘plains’ with population increases/decreases and the ‘bison’ The Native Indian civilization change drastically due to Indians battles and the federal treaties on land distribution. It’s establish territory and boundaries for each different Indians tribes whether are the sioux, crows, kiowas and etc. The treaties were created in a year of 1851 at Fort Laramie and at Fort Atkinson. It were created to be an unfair treaty because later in 1860 the…

The first act primarily gave a background on how those townsfolk settled on Oklahoma Territory. It also illustrated Curly’s pursuit of Laurey, and Ado Annie’s love triangle. The second act was the true execution of everybody’s motives. Curly defeats Jud and wins Laurey over and Will Parker finally earns back $50 to take Ado Annie as his wife. I think the rhythm was smooth and cohesive. Almost all parts of the plot make sense. There does not seem to be too many random scenes that don’t fit into…

Andrew’s beliefs on immigration? Well I don’t really have any pure facts, but we all know that he is responsible for the trail of tears. This man wasn’t really fond of Native Americans clearly as he forcefully pushed them out of the states like Utah and Oklahoma, Kansas. Etc. Not really sure why he had a hate for them though, but he did. Kind of like how Trump doesn’t like Mexicans. I am sure both of them could relate. Andrew really struggled with banks or against the bank, Jackson didn’t…

hostilities, I do not feel at liberty under my instructions, particularly those of July 8th, to make a forward movement to the Rio Grande without authority from the war department." As there was no invasion to repel, and as his march into the Mexican territory in time of peace would be an act of aggression, he prudently waited for further orders. January, 1846, the irst dispatch was received from Slidell in Mexico, from which it appeared probable that, although the Mexican Government had not yet…

Manifest Destiny: American Volunteer Colonels Serving in the U.S.-Mexican War” (254). In fact, expansionists had been focused on the acquisition of new territory sometime before the war. This is shown by their goals at the time, which were possessing Oregon and California along with annexing Texas (254). There were also differing opinions on why new territory should be gained. Slave owners wanted to make their presence in the Union larger by expanding and gaining new lands, specifically…

with White settlers, and nothing really happened until Andrew Jackson was elected president in 1828. He did a terrible thing to the Indian people by forcing them to leave their ancestral lands to move west of the Mississippi, which is the state of Oklahoma today. President Andrew Jackson wrote the Indian Removal document as a message to the people of the United States. Andrew Jackson was born on March 15, 1767 and died at the age of 78 in 1845 (Kelly). He was born in poverty, and his…
