Tecumseh

Based on the documents that I studied and the text of the U.S. Constitution, I disagree with the statement that the U.S. government was justified in forcing the Indian tribes east of the Mississippi River to leave their homeland to move to the Oklahoma territory. I believe that the Natives were cheated out of their land Document One summarizes the uphill battle between the Natives and the settlers. According to Document One, "Land greed was a big reason for the federal government's position…

readings after Barlow, Tecumseh and his speech “The White Men Are Not Friends to the Indians" caught my eye. Personally as a minority myself, I felt that I could relate to him to a slight degree and understand his perspective on his uphill battle against the Americans. I also felt that his speech itself was empowering because of the sense of unity and camaraderie he created with his words between the Indian people by using lines such as, "we must smoke the same pipe" (Tecumseh 517) and using…

fueled the flame, even more, is the french and Indian war alongside Dunmore 's war. Lord Dunmore wanted to get a ride as many of the Indians as possible. The best way to describe how English settlers felt about the Indians is best said by William Tecumseh Sherman.”The more we kill this year, the less we have to kill next year.9”(as cited Cotc Powerpoint). Dunmore is a great example of this quote because he killed Logans whole family .In doing…

Though it would take almost two centuries, the shift of Native American population from majority to minority was ever apparent. Around two million natives existed near the beginning of the 17th century, whereas there were no more than 250,000 European colonists a century later. The following 50 years from 1700-1750 would exchange these figures, leaving roughly 250,000 natives and 1,250,000 colonists and African American slaves. Amidst this drastic demographic shift, Native American’s personal…

As wars were ending and other wars were starting during the 1800s , many americans started to migrate west. Although this would seem like the separation of the original thirteen states, it actually expanded them and it would ironically make America more united. With the rise of upcoming states, nationalism would finally benefit America and makes us actually “united”. However, nationalism had more success and flaws than just bringing America together. Nationalism played a huge role in the…

After the Seven Years War, Americans were proud of being with the Britain when winning the war. They thought Britain would treat them like family and part of the British empire, but that didn’t happen. The war put Britain in more debt than before that they could not pay for and since they won more land, they need to protect these lands from Indians and other people who want the land. So to generate revenue British decided to make the colonists pay taxes on certain items since a lot of the…

leadership with the death of Tecumseh, and opened the door for further movement West once the war could be concluded. One of the most important results of the conflict was symbolically important to the idea of second revolution was the 1814 bombardment of Baltimore’s Fort McHenry. The reason that successful, Great Britain stabilized the borders of Canada with those of the United States. No longer would Canada encroach on American territory, and coupled with the death of Tecumseh and the…

Rewritten Native American Tribe Pomos, the Native American Tribe, should be allowed to express their language, traditions, and their land without the government of the United States neglecting them. Many profess that the Pomo needs the government's approval to provide themselves a better lifestyle with low problems. The Pomos were known for creating “basket weaving” which were made through a very skillful manner that required a lot of time and effort and it helped them have enough money to get…

In 1763 the Proclamation of 1763 was issued by the British to keep American colonists from moving westward, but this caused more conflict between American colonists and the British because the colonists wanted more land. Native Americans living in the west felt threatened by the colonists because it was their land that the colonists wanted. Unfortunately, for the Native Americans, the British did not win the American Revolution and thus begun the abuse against Native American rights by the…
