Historians who practice historiography agree that the writings from the beginning of what is now known as the United States of America can be translated various ways. In James H. Merrell’s “The Indians’ New World,” the initial encounters and relationships between various Native American tribes and Europeans and their African American slaves are explained; based on Merrell’s argument that after the arrival of Europeans to North America in 1492, not only would the Europeans’ lives drastically change, but a new world would be created for the Native Americans’ as their communities and lifestyles slowly intertwined for better or worse. Examples of these changes include: “deadly bacteria, material riches, and [invading] alien people.” (Merrell 53)

Throughout the seventeenth century, conflict between Europeans and Native Americans was rampant and constant. As more and more Europeans migrated to America, violence became increasingly consistent. This seemingly institutionalized pattern of conflict begs a question: Was conflict between Europeans and Native Americans inevitable? Kevin Kenny and Cynthia J. Van Zandt take opposing sides on the issue. Kevin Kenny asserts that William Penn’s vision for cordial relations with local Native Americans was destined for failure due to European colonists’ demands for privately owned land. On the other hand, Cynthia J. Van Zandt argues that despite military disputes among the two bodies, trade alliances between the groups continued. Van Zandt further claimed that relational failure stemmed from conflict among various Europeans nations advocating for dominance over the New World. The overarching purpose of the argument is to determine

In 1775 to 1800, American revolution essentially transformed American society overall in politically, socially and economically. When the U.S earned its independence from Great Britain. people started wondering how,what,who should run it new unified country. It’s first form of government was the Articles of confederation that was ineffective. Just after the constitution was put in place in 1787 that was brought by the wealthy, powerful at the time. Along with the development brought many conflicts that fundamentally needed to be resolve. Much change politically, socially and economically between 1775 to 1800 in the growth of american society.

During the 1800’s the US went through government changes. In 1776 the Declaration of Independence was approved, in 1777 the Articles of Confederation were adopted, and in 1787 the Constitution was signed. With each new change America improved more, but problems still occurred. America was gaining immigrants which was forcing Americans westward towards the Indians which caused tension issues among the immigrants and the natives. Since government was not fully solidified, there were also issues there. Backcountry farmers were involved in these issues and when this happened, the farmers would take the law into their own hands and lead violent protests against their issues. Examples of what these protests were about are: excise taxes on

The Kansa Indians were at war with many tribes like “the Sacs and Foxes, Omahas, Osages, Iowas, Otoes, Pawnees, and the Cheyennes” (27). The Osages and Pawnees often proved to be the most dangerous to the Kansas and were treated as such. Despite their previous dealings, the Kansas experienced a change when white traders started to roam the area. The Osages and the Kansas spent “the winter of 1806-1807 hunting and trapping…” together (86). The interaction with the traders influenced the Kansas to halt hostilities towards its former enemy. The United States had to step in to prevent the violent killings that the Kansas and Pawnees enacted on each other. The United States “secured the usual promises from all tribes in attendance that hostilities would cedar immediately” (158). The Kansa Indians experienced a transformation from constant warfare to peaceful cooperation. The interactions that the Kansas had with other tribes changed after the arrival of white traders and then

In the 18th century, during the years of 1825 to 1850 America was going through Reform movements. The Reform movement sought to expand democratic ideals in the United States. The Reform movement had social, economic and political changes or events in America. Out of all of these three things, the Reform movement had a lot more social changes and events than the other two. As the Reform movement was more of a social movement that aim to make gradual changes in society or at least some parts of society.

During the Gilded age, the Native Americans were unfairly treated by the Americans from being moved out of their reservations to being denied equal rights as human beings which all lead to horrific battles between the Natives and Americans. In order to compromise for the growing settler population on reservations, the Native Americans were forced by the American army to keep moving farther west to avoid further conflict. Unfortunately, conflict still arose between the two populations. The American army sought out to eradicate the Native American tribes by destroying the economy such as their villages and buffalo population (p489). In order for Indians to save their selves, some sought refuge to Canada such as, the Nez Perce Indians, which ended

Thousands of years ago, there was a man, with no chosen future on the island of Hawai’i. His name was Kamehameha. He was adopted and raised by his uncle, Kalaniopu’u and trainer, Kekuhaupi’o who taught him basic warfare which made Kamehameha want to seek the journey and adventure of being a warrior. Later, after most islands were fought over, Kamehameha became the first King ever to rule all Hawaiian islands. Kamehameha was an effective leader because he was fearless, intelligent, and hardworking.

Here I will discuss some of the Puritan beliefs revealed that led to tensions, conflicts, and concerns among the colonists and the Native Americans.

White colonizers moving westward posed a huge threat to Native American tribes in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. These tribes were threatened with the loss of their homes, ways of life, and families when white people came to forcefully eject them from land that was rightfully theirs. Tecumseh, a Shawnee leader, recognized that the only way to defeat the violent white men was to unite his tribe with other tribes faced with the same problems. Tecumseh met with the neighboring tribe, the Osages, to deliver a speech calling for the unification of the tribes. Through his use of figurative language, diction, and allusion, Tecumseh attempts to unite the Shawnee with the Osages against their common enemy, the white man.

Kamehameha was a great Hawaiian leader. He was a great leader and was able to reach such victories because of allies like Kekuhaupi’o And John Young And Isaac Davis. Kekuhaupi’o , John Young and Isaac Davis helped Kamehameha win wars by using strategy and weaponry. He was the first leader to ever unify all the hawaiian islands under one ruler. Kamehameha was an effective leader because he was insightful, respectful, and intelligent.

One of the most destructive conflicts was the King Philip 's war. The Wampanoag would form an alliance with the Pequot and the Mohegan tribes to fight against the colonist. This new alliance would be led by the Wampanoag chief, Metacom, who was known by the colonist as King Philip. Before this conflict started, Metacom’s father was Massasoit. Massasoit had helped the first English settlers establish Plymouth in 1620. Then more and more settlers would settle in present day massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Maine, sending Native Americans off their land. After Massasoit died in 1661 his eldest son, Wamsutta, became Chief but died suspiciously during a diplomatic visit to Plymouth. In 1662, Metacom became chief of the Wampanoags and he has his reasons as why he hates

The American Revolution was the war in which Great Britain’s thirteen North American colonies won their independence. The revolution began in 1775 and ended in 1783. Some causes of the revolution were unfair, harsh taxes, the American colonies wanted to be independent and they felt that it was necessary to have a say in what goes on in Britain’s parliament or to at least vote for Britain’s law makers. After the war, the colonies became a new country, the United States of America after a Declaration of Independence in 1776. Some effects of the American Revolution were the Abolition Movement, the Native Americans losing their homes, the Treaty of Paris and the southern slaves still being enslaved.

We learn from everyone around us whether we partake in noting it or not. It may be positive or negative and it is up to us to choose if we want to follow what we have learned or not. Ever since I was born, I have allows followed the practices of Mata Amritanandamayi. When I was younger, I was just following my parents. However, now that I have the ability to think for myself, I would not have changed it any other way.

In the early 1600s, Europeans began their adventures by sailing miles across oceans to different continents. By the middle of the seventeenth century, the Europeans had come to North America, now known as United States of America (Norton et.al., 60). The arrival of the Europeans in North America had an impact both on their lives and the indigenous people 's lives. When they came, they also brought their cultures, diseases, and ideologies. More importantly, they had a "western foreign policy", which already existed in their own countries. People in Europe, as well as the Englishmen who came to North America, had the ideas of feudalism and colonialism, the policy or practice of acquiring full or partial political control over another country, occupying it with settlers, and exploiting it economically (Oxford Dictionary, online). Neither of the two ideas existed in the Native Americans ' ideologies. The Native Americans carried out a communal system. The process of colonization for the United States of America was very notable in what the Englishmen had as their ideologies of expansion, how those ideologies fit into colonialism, and how the thirteen Colonies were set up until the American Revolution.
