Tennessee Williams

The Magnificent 60 Mountain Peaks Shenandoah National Park, in Virginia, protects over 19,000 acres of land, with more than 500 miles of trail, which include the 101 miles long Appalachian Trail. Admission is required at this national park however it is definitely worth it according to happy visitors. National Park, Shenandoah itself has about 60 wooded mountain peaks. Nearly the entire park is 2,000 feet above sea level. Along with hiking, people like to camp at Shenandoah, which requires a…

I have mixed feelings about Jackson. As some say, he did expand the voting base and he struck a blow against the planter Aristocracy that had been running the country. His treatment of the Indians though shows him in a different light. He certainly didn't extend the voting franchise to them. Thumbing his nose at the Supreme Court over the issue gives him an Imperial air. Moving the tribes to Oklahoma may have been a best of all possible outcomes sort of thing. There probably would have been a…

in office and on the frontlines he gained honor and respect from the people he lead. Before becoming president, Jackson was a young and successful lawyer as well as an upcoming politician. In 1796 he joined a convention charged with drafting new Tennessee state constitution and he became the first man elected to the U.S House of Representatives. He turned down reelection in 1797 and was almost instantly elected to the U.S Senate but resigned a year later and elected judge of Tennessee’s…

First, they had their own culture. Before the indian removal was passed, they created a world that they have their own language, printing press, and newspapers. They had a civilization, they had a government modeled after the U.S and they have their own constitution. They had order where they used to live But they already signed the indian removal act. But few of the tribes only agreed on this act so this act was not equal. The Cherokees were not treated equally and treated as if they were…

This last topic I just recently thought of after discussing in class is the different types of laws and regulations on Native Americans in recent years, including the Meriam Report, and how they affected Natives for the better or worse. President Ronald Reagan's Policy towards Indians was summed up as "Less is more" regarding the treatment of Native Americans during his two terms in office. They believed less regulation and government spending was beneficial to Native Americans, even though the…

Appalachian are spread through the Appalachian Mountains in nine states. This area consists of three physiographic regions. The Blue Ridge Mountains, with the highest peaks in the area, constitute the eastern region; the central, southern, East Tennessee, and Southwest Virginia.

How could a villain be on the twenty dollar bill? Some people believe Andrew Jackson was a successful president. However, after careful analysis of Andrew Jackson’s life, it shows that he was a villain for ignoring the supreme court and the suffering of the Native Americans. Andrew Jackson’s ignorance towards the supreme court was one great example of why he is an antihero. When the supreme court ruled the rights of lands to the Indians, Jackson disagreed. According to the text, ”An angry…

1) Name of Tribe The name of the tribe is Choctaw. 2) Name of Culture Group The Choctaw were part of “The Five Civilized Tribes”. This name was used by the white settlers to refer to the Creek, Chickasaw, Cherokee, Seminole and Choctaw tribes of the Southeast. These five tribes were early converts to Christianity. They were probably called this because the members of the tribes were mostly farmers and because they lived in settled towns with government systems which Europeans and early…

Two examples of opposition include Jeremiah Evarts and Davy Crockett. Both men should be recognized for their opposition. Jeremiah Evarts, nom de plume William Penn, was an activist for the rights of Native Americans. Evarts used a two-pronged approach in his efforts to overturn removal acts. First, his approach was to organize a group of congressmen against removal policies on the floor of the House and…
