Analysis Of Honor Or Insult: Was America's Response To American Indians

281 Words2 Pages

Honor Or Insult Was America's response to American Indians, in the 18th-20th century, honor or insult? I believe the manner that America responded to the American Indian crisis was necessary but not carried out in the most humane way possible. It allowed America to grow in size to provide land for the whites that would better utilize the land. It helped to better prepare the American Indians for the future that was to come: a more united nation that would help them succeed in a capitalistic world, and it helped them advance with Americans today by means of free college. Although I believe what the early settlers made the country benefit as a whole, I do not agree with the tactics the settlers carried out such as the infringement of treaties

In the European colonization areas of New England, Chesapeake, Spanish Southwest, New York, and New France, the relationships were based on how they reacted to each other. Three factors that always played a role in the relationships were social, political, and economic.

    In U.S. history, the U.S. made the mistake of removing thousands of Native Americans from their homes. They were forced to walk down the Trail of Tears in harsh conditions so they could make room for white settlers to move in. Later on, the U.S. admitted its mistake, and now there is land set aside for Native Americans to live on, and many of them receive money on their 18th birthday. The U.S. both admitted its mistake and attempted to repair it, but does this make the United States good?

P1: English view of Native Americans in VA Even though the English were subordinates of the Powhatan, they disrespected him and his chiefdom due to their preconceived beliefs that they were inferior. “Although the Country people are very barbarous, yet have they amongst them such government...that would be counted very civil… [by having] a Monarchical government” (Smith 22).

    Hundreds of years that Native Americans have been oppressed and ignored, killed and forced onto tiny reservations, being demoted to savages and only half humans, and now they are printed onto football helmets. Most people do not even think of this, today black racism is the largest thing we see circulating the internet along with gender equality. But at least we are going somewhere with that, with things such as black history month, and teaching most kids from a very young age in school about slavery.

    When the Europeans began colonizing the New World, they had a problematic relationship with the Native Americans. The Europeans sought to control a land that the Natives inhabited all their lives. They came and decided to take whatever they wanted regardless of how it affected the Native Americans. They legislated several laws, such as the Indian Removal Act, to establish their authority. The Indian Removal Act had a negative impact on the Native Americans because they were driven away from their ancestral homes, forced to adopt a different lifestyle, and their journey westwards caused the deaths of many Native Americans.

    As well the North American country does not have to care for the first Nations if they wanted to the can just exterminate them or simply send them to another country and not have to deal with their problems instead they're doing something much worse there keeping them isolated in the middle of nowhere far from civilization and not giving the proper tool to survive. This is much worse because if there were sent away, they could start again in another country and keep their nationality and go wherever they want instead they are forced to stay restricted in a reserve where they cannot leave and live somewhere else without out giving up who they are so this is a much greater punishment than sending them away. So I believe North America has severely mistreated First Nations.
