Conflict between American settlers and Native Americans arose from the westward expansion of the United States in search of land and resources. As settlers moved west, they negotiated treaties to remove Native Americans from their lands, often by force, pushing tribes onto reservations over the next 30 years through wars that killed hundreds. Attempts were also made to assimilate Native American cultures, including through boarding schools, but many Native Americans resisted giving up their traditions and way of life. The conflicts and policies of the U.S. government nearly destroyed many Native American societies.

This document summarizes the conflicts between Native Americans and European settlers/Americans from the 15th century onwards. It discusses the different concepts of land ownership and government between Native Americans and settlers, which led to conflicts over land and treaties. It also notes the racism Native Americans faced from American politicians and military leaders. The effects on Native American tribes included the forced removal of tens of thousands from their ancestral lands onto crowded, unsanitary reservations with little economic opportunity. Even with the establishment of reservations, Native Americans continued to face challenges to their culture and livelihoods from westward expansion.Reconstruction conflict with native american s

Native Americans lived in various regions of North America and had distinct ways of life based on their environment. Tribes in the East were farmers and fishermen, Plains tribes hunted bison, and Pacific Northwest tribes relied on fishing. As European settlers migrated West, conflicts increased as tribes were forced off their lands. The U.S. military waged campaigns against Native Americans, culminating in the Wounded Knee massacre which ended armed resistance. Following defeat, the government imposed assimilation policies to force Native Americans to adopt Western culture and abandon their traditions.Unit 6 notes 1

Westward expansion occurred as thousands of pioneers moved west for opportunities like mining for gold during the California Gold Rush, free land offered by the Homestead Act, adventure, and escaping undesirable situations. Pioneers faced many dangers on their journeys in covered wagons like lack of resources, harsh weather, and conflicts with Native Americans and other settlers. Life was difficult for settlers on the prairie as they built homes in isolated areas with little protection or infrastructure. While the pioneer spirit drove many west, the expansion had negative impacts as well through displacement of Native Americans.Virginia studies 2d - 2g

The three major Native American language groups found in Virginia were the Iroquoian, Siouan, and Algonquian languages. The Iroquoian languages were spoken in southwestern and southern Virginia. The Siouan languages were spoken primarily in the Piedmont region. The Algonquian language was spoken mainly in the Tidewater region. The Powhatan people helped the Jamestown settlers survive by providing leadership, teaching survival skills, serving as a liaison through Pocahontas, and showing the settlers how to plant corn and tobacco. However, over time the Native Americans came to view the settlers as invaders taking over their land.Vs4 review, 2008

The Virginia colony depended on tobacco as its primary cash crop and source of wealth. Tobacco farming required a large, inexpensive labor force, so African slaves were imported against their will to work on plantations. As the slave population increased, Virginia became increasingly dependent on slave labor for its economy. The English initially settled in the Tidewater and Piedmont regions, while Germans, Scots-Irish, Africans, and American Indians lived in different areas depending on their traditional homelands and the labor demands of the colony.History Of USA

Native Americans originally lived in various parts of the United States in over 500 different tribes, each with their own unique culture, language, and traditions. The largest tribe is the Navajo, who live primarily in the southwestern states of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado on reservations. Native Americans traditionally lived in structures like teepees, longhouses, or earth lodges called hogans. They wore clothes made of animal skins and practiced subsistence activities like farming, hunting, fishing, and gathering to obtain food. In their free time, Native Americans participated in activities like arts, racing, and spiritual ceremonies.Westward Expansion & The Gilded Age

The document discusses westward expansion and the conflicts that arose between white settlers and Native American tribes on the Great Plains. It describes how tribes like the Sioux inhabited and roamed the plains, claiming the land as their hunting grounds. However, the increasing number of white settlers traveling west on the Oregon Trail, the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, the Homestead Act encouraging further settlement, and the discovery of gold and other resources led to more conflicts over land with Native Americans and a series of Indian Wars. The Wounded Knee massacre in 1891 marked one of the final major conflicts as tribes were increasingly confined to reservations.Kohl civil rights movement

The document discusses the conquest and settlement of the American West by white Europeans. Both the American and Canadian governments forced Native Americans onto reservations to end their traditional ways of life. The settlement of the West was more violent in the United States than in Canada. Settlers confronted indigenous peoples, overwhelmed their cultures, and took their lands. The federal government limited Native Americans to small, isolated reservations to make way for white settlers.The Loyalist

Between 1870 and 1924, over 26 million immigrants came to the United States from Europe and Asia, with many arriving through the ports of Ellis Island in New York and Angel Island in San Francisco. Immigrants were fleeing problems in their home countries like poverty, war, and religious persecution in search of opportunities in America like jobs, freedom, and to make a better life. However, immigrants faced prejudice and discrimination from native-born Americans who believed they were taking jobs and lowering wages. Despite this, immigrants still found opportunities in America through work, education, voting rights, and owning businesses.4 homeland security

Before the Revolutionary War, the British created a boundary between Native American lands and the colonies. As American settlers moved west after the war, Native American tribes like the Iroquois and Cherokee lost their lands. Several chiefs proposed options for how Native Americans should respond to western expansion, including accepting white culture, blending cultures, returning to traditions, or taking military action. Tecumseh advocated the last approach by trying to unite tribes to fight western settlement, but his efforts were undermined by defeats like the Battle of Tippecanoe against William Henry Harrison.Settlers and Populism- Ch. 13 notes section 2 3

Westward Expansion in America
Westside expansion has always been the talk of the United States of America. The expansion began along the Eastern Coast and continued until to the Pacific despite it going through bounds and leaps. This was described by Theodore as a great leap towards the west (Quay and Sara 257). Even before the colonized states in America had not won independence in the Revolutionary war against Britain, settlers had already begun migrating towards the west into the states that are today known by the name Tennessee and Kentucky; they also moved to the Deep Southern part and parts of the valley known as Ohio. The expansion of the Westside was greatly influenced by the Louisiana Purchase which took place in the year 1803. The 1812 war caused the securing of the boundaries of the United States and defeated Old Northwest tribes. The removal act of Indians which took place in 1830 caused the forcefully moving of all Indians to the what are now known as the states of Oklahoma and Arkansas on a journey which was named the Trail of Tears (Quay and Sara 257). The term Manifest Destiny a belief that American institutions and Americans are superior and therefore, Americans had the obligations of spreading these institutions with the aim of helping people get freed from the European Colonization, was in 1945 coined by a journalist known by the name John OSullivan.
Expansion towards the west side was greatly assisted by the finishing of the Transcontinental Railroad in the year 1869b and the Homestead Act passage which took place in 1862 (Quay and Sara 257). This act was responsible for giving a 160-acre land to someone who would file a claim, build a home on the land for five years and in turn make improvements on the land.

The document discusses the shift in U.S. foreign policy from isolationism to imperialism around 1900. It provides background on early U.S. isolationism and the Monroe Doctrine before examining the rise of imperialist sentiment in the 1880s-1890s due to economic, political, and social factors. Beliefs in manifest destiny, industrial growth, and overproduction helped make the case for imperialism, while acquiring new markets and resources abroad was seen as a solution to economic issues at home.Consequences of american industrial growth

The document argues that the label "Era of Good Feelings" is not accurate for the period after the War of 1812. It points to growing conflicts from industrialization, increasing divisions between citizens, and political disagreements. Specifically, it notes the rise of sectionalism between the North and South as the key evidence against the label.Teacher Notes MODULE 7.pptx

The document provides an overview of American expansion and westward movement in the 19th century. It describes how manifest destiny and the pursuit of economic opportunity encouraged settlers to move west across North America. This resulted in territorial disputes with Mexico, leading to war and the U.S. acquiring large territories in the Southwest. The gold rush in California in 1848 further increased westward migration and the population of the western United States.Goal 2 nationalism expansionism

The document summarizes key events in the early 19th century expansion and development of the United States. It describes how American settlers moved into Texas under Stephen Austin's leadership, which led to conflicts with Mexico over issues like slavery, culminating in the Texas Revolution and independence. It also outlines the growth of transportation networks like canals and railroads, the rise of industrialization in the North, and the development of distinct economic systems in the North and South based around agriculture, which influenced political divisions between the regions.Assignment Sample solution

Americans responded differently to shifting views of slavery prior to the Civil War. While slavery was introduced in the 17th century and supported the agricultural economy of the South through the 1800s, the abolition movement and westward expansion led to debates over slavery. Northerners increasingly opposed the expansion of slavery for economic and moral reasons, while Southerners argued slavery was crucial to their economy and way of life. These regional divisions came to a head in the 1850s as the Republican Party opposed expanding slavery and the Supreme Court ruled blacks had no citizenship rights, increasing tensions and ultimately leading to the Civil War in 1861 over the issues of states' rights and slavery.Westward Expansion Essay

Westward expansion between 1801-1861 encouraged exploration and vast territorial growth in the US, leading to new economic opportunities. The development of industries like mining, ranching, farming and logging expanded across the Midwest and West. In the late 1800s, the railroad system and new technologies like the telegraph connected more areas and accelerated the movement of people and goods. However, westward expansion also resulted in conflict as Native American land was increasingly taken and destroyed, with many tribes being killed or forced to assimilate to white culture. By the early 1900s, the contiguous US stretched across North America following these patterns of exploration, settlement, development and industry spurred by westward migration.Fulghum Madison ppt

James Madison was the fourth President of the United States from 1809-1817. During his presidency, he oversaw the War of 1812 against Britain, which was pushed for by War Hawks in Congress who wanted to claim Canada and Florida from Britain and Spain. The war ended in 1815 with the Treaty of Ghent which restored the borders to prewar conditions. Madison also dealt with conflicts between white settlers moving west and Native American groups, which led to battles like the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811 between American troops and Shawnee leader Tecumseh's forces.Chapter 13The Crisis over Slavery, 18481860Copyright 息 .docx

Chinese and European American miners pan for gold in the Auburn Ravine in California in 1852. Within a few years, individual miners would be replaced by machines that extracted the precious metal from rivers and mountains. Although this photo suggests a rough equality among the men and the work they were doing, the Chinese miners were subject to a discriminatory Foreign Miners Tax.

How are the cultural differences between Chinese and European miners inscribed in their clothing and on their persons?

Answer: The Chinese laborers are wearing traditional, loose-fitting buttonless tunics. They wear no hats. Their foreheads are shaved, they have no beards, and each wears his hair in a long braid in the back. In contrast, the European Americans wear buttoned shirts with collars, and all have hats. Two of the three men have beards, and none of them is close-shaved.

As more settlers moved West, three key developments transformed the landscape:
1. A mining boom brought growth to western towns, though mining was dangerous work.
2. The cattle industry created a short-lived "Cattle Kingdom" on the Great Plains, driven by demand for beef, before competition and new technologies ended it.
3. The transcontinental railroad connected East and West, spurring further population growth and economic development in the West.More from Bellevue West High School (15)

There were four main reasons for the growth of imperialism: economic, nationalism, military, and humanitarian factors. Economically, nations faced overproduction and needed new markets and natural resources from developing countries. Militarily, nations sought to increase their power by dominating weaker ones. Nationalism fueled the belief that a nation's ideals and goals were superior. These pressures led the U.S. to expand its territory through policies like Manifest Destiny and annexing lands like Hawaii for their resources and markets to support economic growth.Progressives(1)

The Progressive Era was a period of reform between 1890-1920 in the United States. Many reforms were enacted at all levels of government to address problems that had arisen from rapid industrialization, immigration, and urbanization. The Progressive movement grew out of earlier reform efforts and started at the local level before expanding. Progressives believed that government should work to improve lives and that private charities were not enough. They advocated for social, political, economic, and moral reforms. Both local and state governments enacted changes like establishing labor departments and restricting child labor. Under President Roosevelt, federal reforms addressed issues like railroad regulation, public health, and workers' rights.Reform(13)

The document discusses various social reform movements that occurred in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States. The goal of these reform movements was to improve society and help the needy through charitable efforts, as there was little government support at the time. The movements included the Charity Organization Movement, Social Gospel Movement, and Settlement Movement. They commonly promoted ideals of community service and "paying it forward."Growth of cities(12)

The document discusses the Populist Party of the late 1800s and how the Wizard of Oz can be interpreted as an allegory for Populist ideas and the political issues of the time. Farmers struggled with falling crop prices and debt, and supported the Populist platform of expanding the money supply through the silver standard. The characters in the Wizard of Oz represent different groups - the Scarecrow represents farmers, the Tin Man represents industrial workers, the Cowardly Lion represents William Jennings Bryan, and the Munchkins represent oppressed workers. The story reflected the Populist view that large corporations oppressed ordinary Americans.Making a living in the west(7)

The document discusses different ways that people made a living in the American West. Mining for gold sparked major migrations to places like California as towns popped up near mining sites. Ranching involved herding cattle on long trails and being a cowboy was difficult physical work. Farming required families to work together to build sod homes and use new technologies like steel plows and barbed wire to cultivate crops with little water.Moving west(6)

The document discusses the development of labor unions in the United States. It describes how there was a large gap between the rich and poor in the late 19th century, with a small percentage of people owning most of the wealth. This led local unions to form initially and then expand nationally after the Civil War, though they struggled due to economic conditions. The goals of unions were to improve wages, working conditions, limit work days, and end child labor. Over time, union membership has declined significantly from its peak in the mid-20th century.Growth of big business(3)
