Negative Effects Of Spanish On Native Americans

Although it was not an ideal situation to be in, it was much better than being a plantation slave. This document shows the relationship between the indigenous peoples and the African slave communities that has been established because of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The relationship between these two communities would never have been established if it hadn't been for the slave trade. The two communities "allied together for common

The Indians such as the Cherokee tribe bring good morals that are celebrated today, even though some are seen as a threat to the community or the United States because Native Americans are considered to be known as “savages”. As in the source entitled Hermans natives by Jim Unger “The implication is that Indians were savage headhunters. In reality, the Taino Indians who met Columbus were friendly and guileless—so much so that Columbus likened them to children”. Which connects when chief seattle states, “There is no quiet place in the whites man 's cities”. Both of the claims justify the way how not only the Cherokee got mistreated and betrayed, but other tribes as well.

While the things that are shown in the cartoons did indeed happen, these are only focusing on the negative side of what Jackson did in his presidency. Even though he appointed only politicians who were loyal to him, he also did good things with his power, such as stopping the rebellion in South Carolina over the tariffs that his own supporters had put into place. Jackson did act corruptly, but in the end the results were positive with some exceptions, and the young country of America was improved. These cartoons both show a selective and overemphasized truth about Jackson and how he handled his rise to

The Reconstruction Era of American history was plagued by many problems. One of the most important problems being the recently released from slavery Freedmen. Freedmen were in a tricky situation in which they had just been released from their owner and had nowhere to go, but the Federal Government made many successful attempts to help them out. The Government helped alleviate all the problems Freedmen had from their finances to basic needs and rights, and in doing so, made the period of reconstruction more helpful than harmful for Freedmen. The events of reconstruction were helpful to freedmen as they were not only freed from slavery, they were given rights directly from the federal government.

To give the period after the War of 1812 the name of “Era of Good Feelings” would be somewhat-inaccurate. America’s victory in the war surely did unite the states and brought upon some “good feelings” such as unity and growth as a thriving nation, but these good feelings were not all that came out of the war. The states were heavily separated even after the war with conflicts amongst each other and within themselves. Examples of America’s sectionalism come from their social, political, and economic differences, all in which pertain to distrust between the northern and southern parts of the country. Despite all of this, however, there is no denying that there was a sense of pride and togetherness during this time period.

Christopher Columbus seems to have thought well of the Native Americans for the most part, but he did not treat them well. He described them as timorous. Yet, Columbus also described the Natives as handsome, intelligent, kind, hospitable, honest, and hardworking. Though Columbus thought well of the Natives, he did not treat them kindly. In one case, his positive description of them even led to the Natives experiencing a great deal of hardship.

And that is why I am grateful to have learned many details that shine the light on the way that Christopher Columbus actually was like, a villain. I have my reasons for considering Columbus a villain. For example Because of him there is much less diversity in animals. And if that wasn’t bad enough he is also the reason why there are very few native americans left.

well she still went there to free the slaves no matter what it took. “Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit” said Conrad Hilton. That quote was something that Harriet Tubman did a lot.

Even though the Spanish did enslave them like the Europeans, they had much more freedom after their time had been up. Also, within the colony, the had some rights to themselves. The French treatment of Indians was much like the Spanish treatment, with a few exceptions. The French were keen on treating the Indians with respect and dignity for their own personal benefit. With their rather minute population, the key to a successful settlement was the humane relationship between the French and the Indians.

Although, the Colonization of European powers can be seen as a success, it was a calamity because many Native individuals were tortured, through military force to conquer land, and many Africans were enslaved in order to create the Americas. The tragedy of the European colonization of the Americas is such a crucial point in time, because this violence and hate still coincides with today’s generations. Many African and Native Americans are still being oppressed and taken advantage of.

There were Black codes and Jim Crow`s laws which were like speed bumps for blacks on the way to a better life. Today we can say that the Civil war and reconstruction had a great impact on today’s standards of

Reconstruction had many faces during and after the Civil War. First, there was Lincoln’s plan, and then Johnson’s plan, but the Military Reconstruction Act affected the country the most. Because of the effects, this act is viewed in many ways. Some viewed it as a failure while others viewed it as a success. Many view Reconstruction as a failure, but it should be viewed as a success because the educational system was improved, colored received their basic rights, and

The Civil War in 1865 and Reconstruction in 1865-1877 is the reason for peace and good relations with other states. In other words, it typically brought America together, and that is key for a good nation. The effects the Civil War had on the U.S becoming a nation was significantly dramatic. This includes when the two regions that were having slavery at the time, causing a bad perspective on the U.S., the Civil War had put an end to that slavery. Over 3 million of slaves have finally gotten their freedom.

In conclusion there is evidence that The Black Legend was no more atrocious than that of any other European country that settled in the new world. However, with the hatred of the Spanish people and the exploitation of things that were done to the Native Americans it was easy to make believers of the people of Europe. The one thing that keeps coming to mind is something I watched as my children grew up, “He was bad daddy but I didn’t do anything wrong.”

Throughout the years the Spanish, English, French and Dutch which are four main colonies have had good relationships with the Natives and some of the colonies did not have a good relationship with the Natives. The colonies gave the Natives disease that they brought over from their homeland. Most of the colonies tried to make the Natives slaves and take the all of Natives supplies and food. Some colonies tried to take the Native’s lands so the colonies could build on them. Even though these hard times were happening throughout the years to the Natives there was still some good that came out of all that bad.
