People of the Black Hills War

The Native Americans faced many obstacles throughout their transition to the Pine Ridge Reservation. Some of which were caused by the whites, others by their own people. These challenges caused multiple deaths of both the Native Americans and the Whites. One of the largest causes of death for the Native Americans was epidemics and diseases brought by the Whites. The Natives have grown immune or nearly immune to the conditions and diseases that have been a part of their culture in the past. When…

The events that led up to the battle may be more important than the battle itself. In 1874, gold was discovered in the Black Hills of Dakota. Let it be known that in 1851 the Treaty of Fort Laramie was signed and it protected the Black Hills from white settlement and miners. The Black Hills was considered holy land by the Sioux Indians. The government offered to buy the Black Hills from the Sioux but they refused to sell. Then the government intended to take the land away from the Sioux by…

It was 1775 and the American Revolution had just started all the Soldiers were cold and hungry. At the beginning of the war the Americans were considered the underdogs, all the people thought that the British were going to win the war.

the Lakota of the Pine Ridge Indian Agency fell victim to in the winter of 1890 when approximately 500 soldiers came to stop a ceremony later called the Ghost Dance. The horrifying ending to the once proud nation was a culmination of losing the Black Hills and amount of land allotted for reservation use, the expulsion of the Ghost Dance, and the Massacre at Wounded Knee. You cannot begin to describe the what happened that…

this revolutionary war, the enslaved African Americans were denied their freedom from the nation who was at the time, also seeking independence themselves. The Declaration of Independence, composed by an American Founding Father and third President Thomas Jefferson, promised the liberty of all men. But “all men” however did not include the African Americans of the colonies and therefore failed to abolish slavery completely. This contradiction and disencouragement for many blacks, resulted in…

American Revolution? What if the North had lost the Civil War to the South? To think about these occurrences, you have to imagine the unimaginable. What would the world look like without America? The United States has been even nicknames from its own citizens and people of other countries, such as, “Idiots,Powerful, Overrated, and Self-Absorbed.” America is an idea that people can acquire wealth not by taking it, but by earning it. So many people hate this “idea” and the country itself. The…

to know about the rich and the poor because it's part of life. And it also depends on what people do for school to, either they can go to college and get a degree and get a good job and be living the high life.
