People know about the conflict between the Indian's cultures and the settler's cultures during the westward expansion. Many people know the fierce battles and melees between the Indians and the settlers that were born from this cultural conflict. In spite of this, many people may not know about the systematic and deliberate means employed by the U.S. government to permanently rid their new land of the Indians who had lived their own lives peacefully for many years. There are many strong and chilling reasons and causes as to why the settlers started all of this perplexity in the first place. There was also a very strong and threatening impact on the Native Americans

This made the Indians rebel against the whites even more. The Indians was asked to move to an off reservation this resulted into violence. The years to come was called the Indian wars.

In 1820, a politician by the name of Henry Clay decided to help work out a compromise that would keep the balance the North and South. Clay suggested that Congress should admit Maine as a free state and Missouri as a slave state. The official proposal was passed in March of 1820 and prohibited slavery from any territories in the Louisiana Purchase that was North of 36°30’ latitude. (The American Journey Page 320,437, and 438) Almost thirty years later, a dispute over slavery broke out in Congress because a bill was introduced by Illinois senator Stephen Douglas. Douglas originally wanted to run for president but in order to do that he needed the support of the Southern Democrats. With Douglas trying to win over both northerners and southerners, the Kansas-Nebraska act proclaimed that Kansas and Nebraska territories would have the choice to be a free or slave state. Douglas was basically saying that “they” being Congress would repeal the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and would rely on “popular sovereignty” which is letting the people decide. He figured that because Kansas and Nebraska becoming slave

As Democratic-Republicans, Jefferson and Madison favored the strict construction of the constitution. This meant that they were to follow exactly what the documents and the constitution state. During their presidencies, they sometimes desired to do something politically that wasn’t allowed by the constitution, so instead they would favor the loose interpretation to be able to accomplish their political goals. They favor either side that accommodated them most at a specific moment. On the other hand, the Federalist would also change their position on their interpretation of the constitution.

In the year of 1777 and 1778, the Continental Army stayed at Valley Forge (Washington’s Winter Camp). Valley Forge was only 18 miles from Philadelphia, and was a difficult place to live since it was during the winter. Some soldiers stayed at Valley Forge. While others were tired of staying at the camp and started to quit. If you were a soldier, would you have quit Washington’s Winter Camp? If I was a soldier, I would not quit because there was not a lot of dying people, Washington is getting help from the Committee, and valuable things like freedom is worth fighting for so I don’t want to be a “ summer soldier.”

In 1915, the United States began its nearly two-decade long occupation of Haiti. The island nation became dominated by an oppressive military power. These conditions left many American observers outraged and opposed to the occupation. Black Americans, for example, represented the most outraged and vocal observers of the occupation. They felt a unique kinship with Haitian Natives, a kinship created by ancestral ties to Africa and a shared experience of the history of Atlantic slavery. Blacks argued that if Haitians faced oppression and tyranny, Blacks too, faced oppression and tyranny. Blacks found the treatment of Haitian Natives by American military abhorrent. They intended for the occupation to crumble through a political advocacy campaign

I belief they did not make good choices with the amount of innocent people who died and also did not give everyone a fair share of letting people have freedom. I think they only ever believed what everyone else said and did, and for those who spoke up and said the truth they didn’t respect or listen to their opinions and caused many others to get away with bad things while good people died and suffered. Parris the minister was disliked by many of the residents because of his poor character. He had a very greedy, domineering personality. Both their motives seemed to be revengeful and wanting political power. Joseph also wanted a Republican controlled Congress.

The native americans were treated poorly by the settlers coming west so they had uprisings. Some of them helped the natives and some for the settlers. In the end the setters got the best of the native americans. The important uprisings are the battle of little bighorn, sand creek, and red cloud's war.

The Battle of Little Bighorn was a legendary battle fought between the Sioux and Cheyenne tribes against General Custer and the 7th Cavalry. The Indians were outraged as white men tried to take over their sacred land in the Black Hills. The leader of this was George Armstrong Custer, a man with great ambitions. He set his sights on the

The Battle at Little Bighorn River, the Massacre at Wounded Knee and the Buffalo Bill Show are historical events that even Europeans have in mind when they think about the Wild West and the difficult relationship between the first settlers and the Native American Indians. But what do these three events have in common? The easiest answer is that the Battle, the Massacre and the Buffalo Bill Show all involved Native Americans.

The removal and building the railroad process created great conflict between both the Native’s and Americans, battles such as Sand Creek Massacre in Colorado territory which resulted in 163 Indians killed, and the Battle of Julesburg that included Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Lakota in where the Natives defeated the U.S army

WOW- The population of people was spreading across America. This spread led to new views and new opinions. Because of this, denominations within religions were created. Methodism was spread and was divided up with a single goal. This opened my eyes because groups would view their religion differently and to spread their message, separations from the major church were established. This is significant because today people could find their views within a church.

eventually led to conflicts between the US and the Native American’s, with the conflict it made

In the nonfiction novel Saga of the Sioux, there are two major conflicts. They are Man vs. Nature and Man vs. Society. “Crazy Horse and the others managed to keep just out of range as the Bluecoats entered the Peno Creek Valley. The soldiers shouted with satisfaction” is a good example of how the Native Americans were nonstop being hunted by the soldiers, as well as being pushed off of their land. “The Santee were forced to give up their traditional way of life and learn how to farm like the white men” is a great example of how the Natives were required to take on the customs of white men, having to abandon their original way of life. “Because of heavy snow and severe winter weather, many bands did not receive the news by the deadline” explains how the Native’s were troubled by nature. This held their expedition back, and resulted in them losing many men. “Rumors began to fly among the white settlements that immense amounts of gold were hidden in Paha Safa, or the Black Hills” also shows how rumors are egging people on to come to the Black Hills, the Hills that belong to the Natives, and gather
