The Yamasee War: Conflict With Native Americans

The Native American tribes and the United States have a very long and devastating past. The english came from overseas and started taking the Natives land which they didn’t like. The Colonies did barter with some tribes, but fought for territory with most other tribes. The French even became allies with the Natives to try to defeat us in war. We befriended the Cherokee and a couple other dangerous tribes though in defence of their tactics.

In my opinion, I think the United States Government did not let Geronimo return to Arizona because he is a legend and he can start a war on the United States army like what he did when the army of the United States killed a dreamer. He killed the solders and he took most of the men, women, and children with him. Also, I think if he returned to Arizona he can revenge and revenge his people like what he told Mr. Gatewood that he did not learn to do anything except to revenge and always will get revenge. That’s was after a year when his wife and his two girls killed by the Mexican army. He killed more than 50 soldiers in his way to the Mexican border.

Regulars and militia focused their attacks on scouting missions of small groups of British soldiers, making it hard to replenish the British with supplies, and this helped drive the British out of the north. After losing in the north, the British moved to the south taking Savannah and then a few years later Charleston, according to Boot, “the biggest British success” (Boot, 2013). With no Continental army left to fight in the south, a group of veteran militia, of the Cherokee War played an instrumental part in beating the British down and destroying their resolve at this time. They employed guerrilla tactics ambushing the enemy and then hiding in the local swamps and forests. The tattered Continental army along with militia used conventional and non-conventional warfare to weaken the strength of the British driving them out of south.

The day of August 10 of 1680, a rebellion that made history took place in what is now known as the four corners of the United States of America. This uprising is known as the Pueblo Revolt. On this day the Pueblo Indians, composed of several tribes like the Hopi, Zuni, Jemez and Taos, upraised against the European colonizers; and without any special training, forced the Spaniards out of their lands obtaining the victory over the Spanish. The Puebloans tolerated the Spanish who invaded their land and oppressed their people for almost more than eight decades. But what oppressions, distresses and circumstances lead to this revolt?

On the other hand, under the leadership of Black Kettle, the Cheyene Indians had resoted to peaceful alliances with the US government and at a particular time he travelled to Denver with the aim of affirming his peaceful accords.

The massacre majorly led to the deaths of children and women and since then it has been referred to as the Sand Creek

On his second trip he brought dogs to hunt down and rip the arms and legs off the Native Americans who tried to escape.

The Spanish wanted to convert the Native Americans so they forced Christianity upon the Native Americans. The French claimed land in present day

It became a makeshift fortification for Indians and rebels. Since the Alamo was also centrally located, it became a crossroads for siege and battle. When the Commander of the Alamo, William B. Travis realized that Santa Anna and his Mexican troops had surprised them at the Alamo, he decided to write a letter asking for help from men in Texas communities. Having not seen any help arrive for several days, he finally on day 8 got 32 more volunteers to help them which brought their number to almost 200 volunteer defenders. Also fighting for their territory was Davy Crockett a congressman from Tennessee and frontiersman and

It all began on september 15,1864 in Atlanta. After leaving the decimated city of Atlanta on November 16, Sherman led his troops on a destructive campaign which they had taken to port city of Savannah on December 21. It is known for its destruction and sorrow that it caused to the South. There were very few towns that sherman did not burn down because they lied and said that they were making guns and weapons for his fellow troops they went and destroyed about 80 to 90 percent of the south’s

In conclusion, slavery was abolished later on in life, but at this point slaves were getting more violent, determined, and confident in themselves. For example, Nat Turner was a slave who killed his master and 60 other white men. The revolt spread, but it was finally stopped by federal troops. In the 1830’s-1840’s serious slave uprisings came about in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and

Chief black hawk leader of the fox and sauk tribes was a victim of the government 's “persuasive” tactics meaning they tortured and abused the natives to get them to sign treaties but some florida indians fought back for several years but the U.S. had power, weapons and numbers.

King Philips War created immense fear and hatred towards Native Americans and caused rebellions throughout the English colonies, the greatest rebellion being Bacons Rebellion. Ironically, the rebellion began with a pig. A group of Doug Indians took some pigs as payment for a debt that planter Thomas Matthew owed them. Due to the act, Matthew gathered a group of family members and neighbors to track down the Doug Indians, capture them, and beat most of them to death. In retaliation, the surviving Indians attacked Matthews’s plantation and killed one of his indentured servants.

Mystic but instead found women, children, and old men. They did not take mercy on them and they burnt their wigwams, and massacred the ones trying to escape.
