Crazy Horse’s forces didn’t have advanced arms, but he had better wisdom and tactics of war. He defeated extremely arrogant Custer. While at the end of the poem, Custer said that he would be reborn whenever dictators need him or whenever movie-goers want to watch him. This is an ironic and humor ending. Through this ending, Alexie indicates his view on Custer: he was standing on the side of dictators; he was a bad guy.
Speech Outline: The Battle of Shiloh Introduction • On April 6th, 1862, 40,000 Confederate soldiers under the command of General Albert Johnston poured out of the woods to attack the Union soldiers occupying ground near Pittsburg Landing on the Tennessee River. With shoots ringing through the air, The Battle of Shiloh had begun.

After, La Salle had success from sailing down from the Great Lakes to the mouth of the Mississippi River, La Salle’s courage and ego drove his followers of men, women and children to the edge. The minds of his followers reflected to themselves, “If he could do it more then once, what could stop him now?” Later on, a painful death approached the followers of La Salle. Ironically, La Salle’s exploration was the first in European history and established a new frontier for the Spaniards and the French claimed the Mississippi River. However, it cost the lives of La Salle’s followers. The French would fight for Texas later on, however would lose in the French and Indian War, but Texas later on in history would be apart of the United States.
I felt this way because both the generals’ men were fighting against the Confederates so they should work together. Once again general Robert Shaw put them together. The movie Glory made me think about the views of both the sides and made me realize that the Civil War was a really important event. from war and made fun of the colored men. I felt this way because both the generals’ men were fighting against the Confederates so they should work together.
By defeating the northern army on their own grounds, he hoped to bring the population of the north into a panic and settle for peace. He hoped this would convince them to allow the south their own country. General James Longstreet was General Lees second in command of the Northern Virginian Army. Historian Jeffery Welt wrote that General Longstreet was the finest corp commander in the army of Virginia. He also stated that Longstreet was the best corp commander in the civil war conflict on either
The roles in the movie are clearly defined as in Little Big Man noble savages with a twist where they can also be the detestable savage. The meaning of the film is clearly direct, because as stated before they bring this love-story to life and the Native American heritage, where they are fighting for what they want. Also, Wes Studi (Magua) played a great role in the film, because he was hero Indian war captain leaving the British and seeking revenge, because of the way they broke the war with the Indians and destroyed them by catching with them in something that seemed to be an ambush where he gets an Indian axe and kills British soldiers. On the other hand, Hawkeye leaves Cora behind promising that he would catch up with her by
Initially, in the second section, a “gray-clad soldier rode up” and discussed with Farquhar about the Owl Creek Bridge. (302) Gray was the color of the Confederacy, but at this point it was a misleading indication of affiliation; this was a Federal scout searching for Confederate sympathizers among the civilian population. The color gray indicates a distortion of the truth by both parties. It shows the deceit by the civilians, who tried to help fight the Federal army in many small ways, and the willingness of the Federal army to do whatever was necessary to win the war. Shortly after Farquhar falls in the water, he looks towards the marksman who nearly shoots him and “...through the sights of the rifle...observed that it was a gray eye and remembered having read that gray eyes were keenest.” (304) This seemingly paranoid detail, although truly impossible at the range Farquhar was looking, establishes a link between the marksman and Farquhar.
It implies that to truly live life, one must seek simplicity, harmony with nature, and to follow one’s own path. Thoreau strongly believes and advocates that those who live lives of luxury and in mainstream culture created by the Industrial Revolution aren’t really living.

Thoreau’s advice encourages one to rid of superfluous possessions and social activities so as to lead as simple and "bare bones" a life as possible. The advice explains that “life near the bone is sweetest.” The simple life (i.e.
Another song written by Bob Marley is the “Buffalo Soldier”. It talks about these soldiers, how they were segregated fighters during the American campaign to get rid of the "Indians" so that "civilized" white people could gain the lands used by Native Americans. It talks about how these people were struggling for survival and what choices they have to make in order to live. For me, “said he was fighting on arrival, fighting for survival” is a really powerful line because it shows the how they were used by the white man to destroy the Native people and take the land, because that was the only way to escape slavery. I really think their life before is very hard.
The war was known as the Sand Creek Massacre or Cheyenne-Arapahos War or even the Colorado War of 1864-1865. It was in this time that Colorado saw much chaos. Governor John Evans decided to open up the hunting grounds of these tribes to white settlers. Like many people, the tribes didn’t want to sell their land and move to reservations.
