In the article, Tecumseh states,”...the only way to get rid of this evil, is for the red people to unite in claiming a common and equal right in the land,” (44-48). In this fragment, Tecumseh is attempting to become allies with the Americans. He wants to persuade the president into trusting them in order to regain their territory. The author uses the…

On the Tippecanoe River, Tecumseh traveled to the Gulf of Mexico from Canada to go form a confederate of tribes to defend the Indian hunting grounds. Tecumseh called upon a council meeting of Creeks, and some of the other southern tribes to “let the white race perish” in October 1811.…

and Bright Water, Lucy tries to change her hair to look like her idol, Marilyn Monroe. In turn she is erasing of trying to get rid of her natural hair which was given to her from her ancestors and it apart of her culture.

This quotation shows that the people of Truth realize that Lucy is changing her hair to look like…

Harriet Martineau states, “The pride and delight of Americans is in their quality of land.” (73 Martineau). This means everything starts with the land you own and the more fertile it is the more valuable it is going to be. The acquiring of this land was a heavy force in manifest destiny because it expanded the territory of the United States. Harriet Martineau was…

During the beginning of the nineteenth century much of Europe was at conflict due to the Napoleonic wars. The United States president James Madison saw this as an opportunity to start a conflict with the British forces of Canada. He thought the war was easily winnable and that it was only ‘a mere matter of marching’. After Canada managed to fend off the United States forces, the treaty of Ghent was signed. The treaty was signed on Christmas Eve of 1814 and did not declare a victor, rather it…

Is it time to add a new memorial to go along with these leaders? Tecumseh was a Shawnee chief who led a large tribal resistance to settlers. He led men towards a goal that he believed was just and told them they were fighting for a good cause, but was it true? Does he deserve to join the other men in D.C.? The answer…

video I observed many different developmental levels of students. Some students seemed interested and were engaged by raising their hands to answer questions while others did not. Those raising their hand showed they had some background knowledge on Tecumseh. The same students raised their hand time and time again. There were students who were sitting quietly watching the Brain Pop Video while a few other students seem to not be paying attention. One boy was looking around to see what his…

Unforeseen difficulties at home and elsewhere led the United States to declare war on Great Britain. For instance, violation of U.S. neutrality influenced Congress to institute an embargo on trade. The British and French attempted to stop the United States from aiding the others while they were at war in 1803. So the U.S. had to deal with that inconvenience.
