Even the Chinese who worked on the railroads traveled to the west furthering its diversity. Settlers from the east changed the face of the “Great Plains”. Buffalo and cattle that lived in these plains were wiped…

In our conflict between the Mexicans and the Settlers, neither side was right on who owned the land. The Mexicans believed that the border of their country and the U.S. was the Nueces River. But, the U.S. believed that it was the Rio Grande. Both of them were fighting for extra land by marking where the border should be. But neither side was right, as both the Mexicans and American settlers had taken the land from the Native Americans without their consent. So they were both fighting for land…

Relief hits me as I roll a 3 and acquire the ore resource card I’ve been patiently waiting to pick up for 3 rounds. I combine that ore with a wool and grain resource and draw a development card. As I look at the card, my heart begins to race. While keeping a poker face, I pass the dice to the next player knowing I can win on my next turn if nobody else…

They were often referred to as Pilgrims or Separatists, and they arrived on The Mayflower Compact. The Separatists maintained ties with Great Britain till eventually…

just not by white people; this entails the ongoing concept of settler colonialism. Settler colonialism is the process in which a group of people, known as colonizers, moves to a new area with the goal of living on and conquering the land. It differs from classical colonialism, or financial imperialism, in that settler colonialism aims to conquer an area permanently, as opposed to temporarily using land to extract resources. Typically, settler colonialism involves one group, the colonists, which…

westward, land was seen as a new opportunity for American settlers to build a better life.
