But, in order for the Articles of Confederation to be ratified and to pay off the debt from the war, the states needed to give up their land to the national government, so that it could be sold in order to pay off the country's debt. The large states did give up their lands to the central government (Document E). In order to govern these new lands the government needed to make new laws. One of the laws passed was the land ordinance of 1785. This new law divided up the land in the new western territories into sections which could be sold to individual citizens.
If they hadn’t believed in Manifest Destiny, and the government and pioneers not wanted Indian territory, the treaty would have never been made and the Indians would not have had to retaliate. Saterdal 2 The official conflict is that citizens and U.S. government had almost completely wiped out the Plateau Indians. The Yakima Wars included many people Governor Stevens, Andrew Bolon, H.W.A.Slaughter, Colonel Steptoe, Major Rains, General Wool and Kamaikin the Yakima Chief and Peupeumoxmox the Walla Walla Chief. The Yakima wars took place in the mid 1850’s until 1858 (Lambert, 150). Some of the sites included were Four Lakes, Union Gap, Yakima, Cascade Mountains, Fort Benton, Fort Simcoe, Fort Walla Walla and the Walla Walla Valley.
In an attempt to make a name for himself, Coughlin set up the National Union for Justice and bashed Roosevelt, claiming he was “anti-God". Coughlin wanted what he described as a "fair wage" to be paid to those who were less well off. During this strive, Coughlin partnered up with Frances Townsend who opposed the New Deal as well. Townsend argued that the federal government should give citizens aged 60 and above $200 a month to be financed by a 2% sales tax. After Huey Long’s death, these 2 men teamed themselves up with one of his loyal followers, Gerald Smith, and these three men planned to reach out to the less fortunate of America in hopes of rallying a group large enough to enact
It has been happening since the first settlers came, and it happened time and time again until the whites on the Indian’s land occupied the east coast. There were numerous treaties signed by whites and Indians but were almost always encroached upon by the white settlers and their obsession of owning all the land. In the period between 1789 and 1830, there were political constitutional and practical concerns that were formed on America’s national Indian policies. These concerns were only considered by the settlers a problem in the later part of this period and were just minute complications in the
“The Missouri Compromise succeeded in minimising divisions between the north and south in the years 1820 to 1850. Do you agree?” (30) In 1819 Missouri applied to join the union causing great aggression and hostility by the Northern congressmen. Seeing as by 1819 the original 13 states had incredibly grown to 22, with 11 being equally slave and 11 being slave free, the admission of Missouri would tilt the balance. The Free states opposed Missouri’s admittance causing a period of uproar and furious debates, with Southern and Northern congressmen both being lined up against each other. However, Senator Henry Clay set out proposals which eased tensions by 1820; being able to balance the tilt between none-slave and slave states.
Their intentions were to settle territorial occupancy with the United States in a non-violent manner. Throughout this time period the attitude of the general public of American’s was that the Indians should be wiped off the planet. This attitude is universal for American’s because they saw a major economical advantage in this certain territory. The economical opportunity for Americans through the gold and silver rush
But that affects his wife and family more than him, so 150 years in a federal prison will have to do as a direct punishment for him. Whether or not this is a fair punishment for the crime committed should not fall on the general public. It should be a carefully calculated equation involving the amount of time the ponzi scheme was ran, the total dollar amount taken from the victims (without deducting the payouts to the early investors),
The few Native Americans that managed to keep their land, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), a federal government committee, served as trustee and held the legal titles over these lands. In addition, the BIA collected revenues made from these lands by non-Indians, and upon the death of a Native American the land was divided between descendants; overriding any Native American tribal customs. As a result, Native Americans lost approximately 90 million of the 130 million acres original provided from this act. In addition to this failed act, there was the most controversial act in the twentieth century, called The Termination Act of 1953. This act was original supposed to reduce government control over Native Americans by terminating services provided by the government.
An example of this would be the Indian Removal Act of 1830. While the goal of this was to expand rights of white men by offering them more land, the real group that was affected by this was the Native American groups living on this land, who were forced out of their homes. In 1829, in New York City, from the Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents, in their fourth annual report, the following is stated. “To confine these youthful criminals, is to pursue a course, as little reconcilable with justice as humanity; yet, till the House of Refuge was established there was no alternative.” This statement along with the following quote from 1834 by Charles G.
Native Americans Cherie "Stacy" Martin HIS/145 July 30, 2012 Timothy Kreisher Native Americans In the early eighteenth century, the Indians were introduced to the Pilgrims. The Indians owned all the land and the white people (Americans) decided to take it from them. The white people decided that since the Indians were not white they needed to be treated differently. They were to have no contact with the white people and were to live in certain areas, which are called reservations. The white people decided that they wanted to take the land away from the Indians and formed a government against the Indians.
