Stampede Trail

Native Americans and Americans always have had a very tumultuous relationship. Starting from the first discovery and then colonization of the Native American's land; Americans pillaged and plundered villages, which purposefully depleted the Native American population. The tumultuous relationship boiled over when Andrew Jackson, known for his hatred of the British and Native Americans, signed the Indian Removal Act in 1830 (Tindall and Shi 342). The Indian Removal Act authorized Jackson to give…

Approximately 4,000 Cherokees died on this forced march, which became known as “the trail of tears” the train of tears was horrid. “1 out of out of 8 would die” (“Indian removal act”).

Message demonstrated the President’s view of American superiority to the Indian. With their traditions ignored and way of life shattered, the Indians suffered, powerless to America’s new strength. Jackson’s Indian Removal Act eventually led to the Trail of Tears where thousands of Indians died in their forced journey west. America's thirst for westward expansion had a devastating cost for many Native…

Quanah Parker made many choices, and had consequences for his actions. Not all consequences are bad though. I feel that Quanah Parkers consequences were positive ones. He was a leader, in charge of his Comanche people. He had to do many things to keep his people safe. In his eyes fighting for himself, his people, their rights, and their land is what he had to do in order to keep them safe. I feel that all of his decisions helped his people rather than harmed them, because his choices were made…

“The 1854-1855 Western Washington Treaties” (article 1) describes the unfair treatment the Indians endured when Americans wanted to expanded westward. The United States appointed Isaac I. Stevens to “negotiate” treaties with Indian nations. Stevens believed that Indian culture had no differences, so many times tribes with totally different languages and cultures would be put together on a reservation, even tribal enemies. He also felt that that Indians should not be given fertile lands, and the…

10/7/16-10/10/16 (Shenandoah National park experience) One the way- I’m on my way to Shenandoah National park that is in Virginia. I plan to stay for three days at one of the cabins in the park. It’s only 75 miles away from the bustle of Washington D.C. I hope that we get two do a lot of cool things like hiking and I hope to learn a lot more about it than I already know. I did a little research on my own to figure out what are the basics of the park, why it is a national park, and the usual…

I believe that when Governor John White left Roanoke Island for England to get supplies, the colonists were expecting him to return back to the island in a few months. However, when the colonists did not hear anything from him or see him return after more than a year they began to think that White would not be returning to the island. In 1588, Spanish soldiers received reports that the English were establishing a new colony in the New World. The colonists, not wanting to be attacked and killed…

regarding the Long Trail. The Long Trail is such an iconic piece of Vermont today, but I feel like Albers fails do it justice in Hands on the Land. The Long Trail was a vision shared by the men and women of the Green Mountain Club. The trail starts in Massachusetts and weaves its way through the Vermont wilderness before eventually reaching Canada. It spans the entire Green Mountain range for a total of 270 miles, and sees thousands of hikers every year. The idea of making a long trail…

In the journey of repeating those stories I got chance to study and research about the two most misfortune gun firing in…

"A Man Called Horse" is a very interesting story. This story shows how a man can become changed, and in this story, that man is named Horse. This man was held captive, he metaphorically became a horse, and in the end, became a man again. I know it sounds confusing now, but you'll understand further in the story.
