The English would trick the Indians to sell their land for less and if the king would not then the English man would create a new Indian king that would sell the land. The English horses would roam onto the Indian land spoiling their land. The English sold alcohol to the Indians and then the drunken Indians would plunder the English cattle and no one could stop them. Easton believed that the grievances were
His actions discouraged loyalty to the colonial government and England. Pretty soon, Bacon’s Rebellion group convinced him to lead them in fighting against the Indian tribes. He and his men attacked Indians that were causing trouble as well as innocent Indian tribes that only wanted peace. Even though he was denied commission to attack the hostile Native Americans, he did it anyway along with attacking friendly Natives, too. This was, in my opinion, the event that officially qualifies him as a traitor; the fact that he disobeyed the government whenever he pleased.
On page 428, it says that many didn’t like the Mexican culture or government and refused to convert. Eventually, it led to war, where the Texans won in 20 minutes with few casualties. With the win, the Mexican government was forced to sign over the Rio Grande. That led to
Therefore, the black community in Maycomb was crippled with fear. A fear that they will get lynched for a crime they did not commit. Stereotyping is a human instinct. We will always stereotype people's race, class and families. When Aunt Alexandra lived with the Finches, she said this to Scout about the Cunninghams, "Because he is trash, that's why you cant play with him.
Wilson (President of the USA) was dissatisfied also. He was pleased to get the League of Nations accepted, and the map of Eastern Europe was mainly drawn according to his principle of self-determination. But he found most of the rest of his 14 points ignored or rejected. Only the defeated powers were disarmed. Britain refused to accept freedom of the seas, and neither Britain, France nor Belgium would allow self-determination to the colonies in their empires.
Breaking the promises would have shown the Native Americans that the settlers thought little of their intelligence, and also would instil a lack of trust in the settlers, as now every apparently solemn vow to not attack certain areas or to treat the Plains Indians better etc. could now never be taken as the absolute truth and the Native Americans would have spent time wondering what treaty was to be broken and when. The second factor I shall look at will be the US army and its leaders. Men like
I don’t believe he was ever violent with his war protests. The only thing in my opinion that could have been argued that John Lennon was endangering was the image of the government which made them feel threatened. I feel that John Lennon did a very good job of how he handled his opposition and I don’t believe he could have gone about it another way while staying peaceful. In my opinion I think the government handled the John Lennon situation very poorly, John only demonstrated peaceful protest, and he never harmed anyone. The government tried to have John Lennon deported on a charge that they dug up from his past in his country.
Before the Europeans colonized the Americas, there were people that lived on the land. The Native Americans that inhabited these lands were not warned of the Europeans’ arrival, nor did they know that there were civilizations past the rocky shores of the Americas. To the colonists, the Americas were undiscovered lands that they intended to call their own. However, the Native Americans proved to be an obstacle in their plan. The Europeans looked down on the Native Americans and referred to them as “savages” because their society did not match their own.
Many people believe that slavery of the Native Americans was a result of the Europeans colonizing the New World, but it was not. The indigenous people, long before the settlers arrived were enslaving each other. However, the native people did not exploit slavery on a large scale. Instead, they used the captured slaves to replenish their tribe’s fallen warriors or to replace people who have died of disease. When the Europeans arrived to inhabit America, Native American the slave trade changed significantly.
The greasers of the 1950s took their name from the “Greaser Act” which was a law created in California against Mexicans to protect Californians from Mexicans who were unarmed, but not peaceful or quiet people. The name “Greaser” was given to the Mexicans that greased carts, in the mid-1800s; this job was one of the worst jobs that anyone could have, which made the name “Greaser” one of utmost disrespect. When they adopted the name “greaser” also from the greased back hairstyle they did so with the idea of rebellion. Doing so with their look and attitudes. Many believe that this rebellious attitude came from the fact that the 1950s was a time of suppressed libido, due to the recovery from the war Nowadays, greasers are classified as people who not so much have the typical pompadour slicked back hairstyles but with “street cred” as a car guy who knows how to work on his hot rods.
