Causes Of The Pueblo Revolt

One of the most historical moments of the Pueblo Revolt, was when the pueblos met up to try and stop the Spanish colony and the Franciscan missions, but instead 21 friars and multiple Spanish families were killed in one day (Weber 84). Angelico Chaves states the Naranjo is a representation that the definition of a Pueblo was changed in the years before the revolt, and a different culture had come about. Due to the revolt in people and culture, Chavez states that the revolt was successfully “planned and carried out” not just by individual leaders, but the main person of Pohe-yemo.

In 1821 Mexico won the independence from Spain, then when Mexican started to let people into their country saying that they would give the people free land to settle on and the Americans were settlement for new land after become a country of their own. Mexico started to become overpopulated as a country then the tension grew between American settlers and the Mexican government or the Mexican who lived in the Texas area known as “Tejanos”. Then the Mexicans government made a law that says that no more American settlers were allowed in the Texas area because it belonged to the mexican government. The settlers wanted the state of Texas, commander Stephen Austin called for a Texas revolution for state.

Porfirio Diaz was the dictator of Mexico, in the years of 1884 to 1911, who sought to modernize Mexico through a series of economic and social policies he had emplaced onto the country–the country consisted of the rural population and the prosperous upper class. Due to political stability, and lack of wealth–under the reign of Porfirio–there was commotion, especially amongst the middle and lower classes. Until Diaz took over and decided it was best to improve the economic stability of the country since the mexican economy was far underdeveloped. In Diaz’ journey for modernization, foreign investments originated from the implemented policies which would ultimately build Mexico back up and into a thriving country. Some Historians have assumed

Settlers in the Western parts of the Unites States during the eighteenth century, sometimes looked to violent protest to express their grievances of political, economic, and social issues. The March of the Paxon Boys, Regulator Movement, Shay’s Rebellion, and The Whiskey Rebellion were all examples of settlers expressing their grievances.

Native Americans are the indigenous people of the United States, they have an extensive rich history, and stories of sorrow and bravery. Within the lower 48 states are the Great Plains American tribes, these tribes live in a region where there are few trees with valleys and rolling hills. This is where the Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma as well as many other tribes resides in. With quite a dearth tribe, their highest population being 3,522 present day, but although they weren’t large they are known for their abounding cultural tradition and past. The Ponca tribe of Oklahoma had a mixed culture of the Middle Mississippi and Plains people. They were Siouan speakers, or the Dhegiha, which also included the Ohama, Osage, Quapaw, and Kansa tribes. The

In the late 1800’s the United States was a young nation. That wanted to expand it’s boarder’s so they headed west. This began the great “Westward Expansion”. Due to the westward expansion natives were taken from their and pushed to reservation around 1849. Native tried to fight back. The government by either using forces or speaking politically. The government sold Native American land for profit. The westward expansion decreases the Native American population while the settlers benefit by it from land and gold.

Carlos Montezuma was a Chicago physician who was known for his strident perspective on tribal issues. He wanted Indian’s to share the same freedoms Americans had, in order to fight for the nation. “a nation which would not grant citizenship to Indians should not expect Native Americans to sacrifice their lives to defend it.” (Page 125) Montezuma created his own newsletter called Wassaja. He felt that if Indians wanted to go into war then they had every right to, but not to be forced into being a soldier. He believed that the Indians did not belong, and were just floating around. Some at the time were saying “America is their country”, (Page 125) he would refute it by saying Native Americans do not even have the same privileges as foreigners.

The American Revolution was without a doubt one of the most crucial events to have ever existed in humankind that would later go on to help shape and form today’s society. Beginning 1775, the 13 English colonies rebelled against British rule because they regarded it as unfair and oppressive. Alongside the help of Spain and France, the 13 colonies were able to defeat the British and then gain independence through the Treaty of Paris in 1783. After considering the definition of a revolution - an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed - and the American society before and after the American Revolution, it is obvious that those who don’t consider the American

he Natives were being treated unfairly by the Puritans caused the King Philip’s War of 1675. King Philip's believed that the colonists took his land without his permission. In document A, “King Philip’s Perspective” King Philip stated, “the English made them drunk and then cheated them ; that now, they had no hope left to keep any land.” Both authors in both documents wrote that King Philip lost land from the colonists. In document B, “Colonists‘ Perspective” Edward Randolph said, “God is punishing them for their behavior." The colonists were taking the Native American's property and taking advantage of the native Americans in the trade by getting them drunk so they could get more land. King Philip, the religious leader the Native Americans.

Most American have heard the stories about The Famous American Revolution which took place between 1775 and 1783. Also We all heard about the rugged American patriots who were fed up with the British Tyrannous control of the 13 colonies that they decided to revolt against the most power empire in that time of history, Britain, and in a strange turn of events, they won. They, however didn’t win without the help of the French, Spanish, and most of the rest of European nation, whether formally involved or not. As history would say, we believe that the American Revolution was revolutionary, but in reality it was not. They were not the first to form a republic, to have fully united states with a common goal, nor the first to rebel against

One of the reading done for class was “Persons of Mean and Vile Condition” written by Howard Zinn. In this reading Zinn states what was the Bacon’s Rebellion, how it started and how it ended. In his work, he states his opinion on some issues or happenings, in which I agree.

Prior to the English landing on the Eastern shores in 1607 of what is now known as the United States of America, Native Americans dominated areas from coast to coast [of the future nation]. Many of these tribes had built their own form of society, influenced by maternal dominance, agriculture, fishing, hunting, trade, and religion (Foner, Chapter 1).Unfortunately, their way of life was altered as soon as Europeans began emigrating and landing on the Americas, and began taking over the land Native Americans had possessed for centuries. Although weakened by a wave of disease, many tribes showed acts of resistance against their invaders, in disputes like the Pueblo Revolt, King Philip 's’ War, and Worcester v. Georgia. These acts of resistance

  In 1776, A revolutionary battle took place in order to protect Indian lands from colonists that were trying to steal Indian lands. In this colonial battle, not only white people who lived between India's prior the American war, revolution were involved, but also British people. Furthermore, both the British people and white people tried to gain India's tribes so they would have more advantages in winning the battle. As a result of this, some sided with British people and some sided with the white people.  But what were the reasons that motivated Native American tribes to sided with the British and others with white people? Which group made the best choice?

Pueblos are towns they built near the presidios in order to create a type of economical support for both the presidios and missions. The Spanish wanted “gente de razon” living their which means they only want people with reasoning to live there since they would be able to comprehend and understand why the Spanish are doing what they are doing in the pueblos. Most “gente de razon” were mainly poor African, Spanish and Mexican Indians. There was also “gente sin razon” which stood for people that would not have a reason of what is going on and would not want to part of it even if they knew about it. These are the type of people they would not want in the pueblos. The Spanish showed hardly any discrimination compared to those ran the people of the presidios. On the other hand you would be able to tell what type of relationship the people of the pueblo and California Indians who served as a labor force to the Spanish. In 1777, close to a mission was where the first pueblo ever created was located in San Jose. Three years later after the first pueblo was made then the second pueblo was created in Los Angeles. In total they were able to build eight pueblos but only seven remained which are part of the United States of

Even though this seemed like a problem they easily made up for this lack of numbers by making allies with other Indian. “Mexica (‘Aztec’) weapons were simple, but really effective, and were of two basic types: close-up weapons for hand-to-hand fighting and long-range weapons for attacking from a distance” (internet reference). The atlatl or dart-thrower was the long range weapons. It was used by just like a dog ball thrower. Then there were bows, arrows, and maquahuitl. Maquahuitl was a wooden staff with volcanic class blades studded in the sides of the staff. This weapon was primarily used for sort rage. These weapons were very effective but the Spaniards had on armor which protected them from some of the weapons. The Spaniards had far more superior and effective weapons like steel swords and iron armor which made it a little harder for the Aztec’s to compete. Guns and cannons were used on the Aztec defenders in order to dismantle it and make them more vulnerable to attack. One of the most interesting things that shocked me was that the Aztec’s have never seen horses and when they came in contact with their cavalry they would get
