From fur trading, farming, mines, and ranch life, each of these were very important and had a major influence on our economic and political history. As for the question; “How do the experiences of specific groups of people, as reflected in the primary sources, support or modify Turner’s view of western settlement?” I believe the following three primary sources support Turner’s view of the West; Robert Baird, George Caleb Bingham, and Miriam Davis Colt.

A Historical Report on Native Americans Angela Pusey ETH/125 September 22, 2013 Maria E. Miles, Ph.D. Candidate, LPC, LCDC A Historical Report on Native Americans The story of the Native Americans is one of the most unsettling chapters in American history. From a historian’s perspective, this ethnic group started with unimaginable oppression, warfare, and disease from the moment European immigrants landed in America. Even the name “Indian” was a mistake in their identity. Unfortunately, this label remains today, and we will never know what this race of people would be like today if they were never “discovered”.
America’s History is Wrong The author of the book introduction titled Indian/White Relations: A View from the Other Side of the “Frontier,” Alfonso Ortiz, makes the reader scrutinize and think about how historians have recorded and retold America’s early history. The history familiar to most Americans is biased because it is in accordance with white settlers’ viewpoint only. The Native Americans viewed the white settlement differently than we recorded. The Americas were no “frontier” for exploration. The land was the home of the natives; it was explored and well known.
Jacque L. Austin U.S. History Through Ethnology Explain how sporting events influenced the progressive moment of the late 1800s? Use specific examples from Chapter 34 for support.

For Aztec dancers, Conquest is a complex concept. It is not only associated to European and Euroamerican dominance, as it is in the case of American Indians in the United States, but to a certain sense of liberation. Before the Spaniards, there were indigenous groups that dominated the others, most of the times by means of war and cruelty. The Conquest, for Mexican Indians was a way to build on a new society, the Conquest was, beyond military, cultural; and it set the grounds for mestizaje, the cultural syncretism which is the root of our present society, in which we still have our Aztec dances, or variants such as Matachines, in Señora de Guadalupe
It cannot be reduced to a simple tale of conquerors and victims, bad presidents and greedy cowards, or the march of progress versus unbending cultures.

At one time Native Americans lived peacefully and were content and established with their lands. Then, there came a time when they were forced to fight to protect their lands. Many Native Americans were killed while others were forced off of their lands by U.S. laws that were passed by various United States Presidents. This paper will demonstrate the different challenges that the Native American had to endure throughout history, and often still do.
As sociologist Douglas S. Massey has said, “segregation is a key cause of poverty because where one lives determines much about the life chances one faces." And this in the United States is "Created by White prejudice, Actualized by discriminatory behavior and Condoned, if not supported, by government." Today both, in the US and in Europe as well, overt racism is replaced by “politically correct behavior” and the reality of social relations has been rarified. This has made the evil of racism omnipresent, omnipotent but still invisible. It is to the credit of White societies, that, this art is not only universalized but its social reproduction is also ensured.
This demonstrates a huge cultural divide between him and the World State Society. Since Bernard and Lenina see the tribal ritual as disgusting, John becomes the central character of the novel. Being rejected by both the Indians, and the
Schmitt is associated with conservative nationalist and authoritarian fascist thought. He is particularly critical of liberalism, and liberal teachings on democracy and the political. He lived through three different political regimes in Germany:, notably supporting political Catholicism in the Weimar Republic, joining the National Socialist party in 1933, and under Nazism Schmitt published ‘The Fuhrer Protects the Law’ 1934 where he justifies Nazi dictatorship in legal theory, thus successfully ensuring his position within the regime. More importantly, Schmitt had become somewhat of celebrity amongst legal scholars and students of political science and philosophy. In ‘The Concept of the Political’ we are informed by the very first sentence ‘the concept of the state presupposes the concept of the political’, his decision to firstly note the importance of defining the political can be linked to his legal training, having dealt with lawyers.
