The Removal Act of 1830 was signed by seventh President of the U.S., Andrew Jackson. This act allowed the President to explore unsettled lands pushing the Indians west. The act was not in specific removal of Indian tribes, but in order to acquire their land with treaties.

Jackson’s presidency…

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 decision to change my semester project was an easy one due to the fact that I feel lost on my research project. I have decided to teach about the Lakota.

The title of the documentary I watched is “Klansville U.S.A” it was made January 13th 2015, based off a section of David Cunningham’s book that has the same title. I believe this films overall thesis is illustrating what the Klu Klux Klan was like, and all of its values. The film portrayed its thesis by looking into the largest sector of the Klan and how it operated under Bob Jones the group’s first “Grand Dragon.” The filmmaker’s agenda seemed to include mainly covering the history of the clan…
