In the Great War, also known as World War One, Native Americans would use their own language to give battlefield communications more protection. The German forces would often decipher American codes so with the Choctaws help, code talking was established to prevent secrets from getting out to the enemy. In addition, some Native Americans served in the war as well in the front line There were several issues Native Americans faced in the 1920s through the Great Depression. Indians faced health issues due to poor living conditions in reservations where they suffered from diseases and experienced high rates of death. In addition, poverty impacted the natives as well and pushed them further back from making progress. Indian communities were destroyed
Indians were removed from their homeland and killed. This was directly attributed to the Lewis and Clark expedition which spurred the movement. Although it most likely was not the intentions of the group, their effects on Westward Expansion was the beginning to an end for Native Americans, and has left impressions on history that are still present
The Native Americans also desired goods they could not produce (guns, alcohol, and blankets). This brought about rapid change which destroyed the culture of the natives. Alcohol disrupted daily life for the natives and blankets were carriers for
I must say that European and Native Americans lives were drastically changed. Although, the Indians suffered mistreatment from the Europeans due to the Europeans taking their land.
Due to the arrival of the Europeans, the lives of the Native Americans changed forever i) Due to the diseases, lots of Native American tribes were
After the Civil War, some dramatic changes were taking place as the aftermath. The Reconstruction treaties of 1866 required the five Southeastern tribes give up almost half of their lands for the resettlement of other Indian tribes. The federal government began almost immediately to remove tribal peoples from the Southern Plains to the ceded areas because they were pressured by white leaders in Kansas, who did not want Indians living in their state. Within twenty years, twelve to fifteen thousand exiles established homes in Indian Territory (pg. 131). Some of the impacts of exiling Indians into Indian Territory included the Wyandots, the Peorias, the Ottowas, and the Miamis were all exiles from Kansas and settled on a small reservation that
The French and Indian War impacted the United States relation with the Native Americans by having the Native choose sides, and mistrust the whites. The French and Indian War lasted from 1756 to 1763, and it was mainly a war between Britain and France. Britain and France had a rivalry against each other during this time, and they were fighting on who could get more land in America. Different native tribes allied themselves with either France or Britain because it took place on their territory, but later the alliance broke. Many natives “were never again in a position to deal with their white rivals on terms of military or political equality,”
Even things such as the transcontinental Railroad created challenges for them because it restricted their land even more. Through the violence of these events, many Native Americans were held captive and even died. Not only did they face having to fight for their land, and being taken away from it, but they also faced my injustices such as people wanting to destroy their culture and change them
By the time Whites realized not all Natives would be willing to assimilate they confined them to reservations (which would later be opened to white settlement) where they lost all rights to be free. They were forced to live on rations which starved many Native Americans. They were forced to give up their religion and their language. They were forced to give up their lives all because white people wanted more
The American Revolution lasted six years and the impacts of it were everlasting(Schultz, 2010). The effects were felt by every group of people in North America and many worldwide. Even though George Washington had all of his troops vaccinated against smallpox, the colonists were not so fortunate and as a results some estimates are that as many as one hundred and thirty thousand people died from this dreaded disease. This loss of life combined with the divisions among the colonies into those loyal to Britain and those who wanted freedom would forever change the way of life for the colonists.
They were forced to leave their homes to move somewhere they did not know about. Also how badly they were treated and the war against one another unlike the Jews the Native Americans were not put in death camps but they were placed somewhere they had no idea about that area so in rebellion of not accepting this forced change the Native Americans decided to fight back against the Americans to get their ways and land back to the way it was before. During the war against Americans the Native Americans did lose a lot of lived like mother’s, children, men, women, people just in general who had loved one same as the
Also, the extinction of buffalo affected them negatively and the domination of the whites disrupted their surroundings. The Westward Expansion impacted the Native Americans land and culture. Before the Americans started coming to the West and settling, the Native Americans had a peaceful life. Twenty-eight tribes lived in the Great
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.
Between 1870 and 1900, an estimated 25 million immigrants had made their way to the United States. This era, titled the Gilded Age, played an extremely important role in the shaping of American society. The United States saw great economic growth and social changes; however, as the name suggested, the Gilded Ages hid a profound number of problems. During this period of urbanization, the publicizing of wealth and prosperity hid the high rates of poverty, crime, and corruption. European immigrants who had come to the United States in search of jobs and new opportunities had fallen into poverty as well as poor working and living conditions.
