222 Words1 Page

As the British settled in South Africa, they began to expand their territory further North. At first, they took over Boer claimed land, however, they were aimed at taking over land from the Xhosa people (Mads). Cradock, the governor of the territory in 1811, ordered lieutenant John Graham to expel the native Xhosa’s out of their land. Once done, crops were destroyed, cattle was stolen, and several Xhosa people were shot. A few months later, Benjamin D’Urban, the British General, led a successful attack against the Xhosa tribe. They pushed their people out by the Kei river, way far from where they originally resided at. The remaining land was used by the settlers. These attacks towards the Xhosa people were justified since the British considered

    The Anishinaabe whom were a historically nomadic people were resettled and confined to a designated area on the island as to make room for new settlers and were now forced into a sedentary agriculture system, as well as constrained in their fishing rights. As Victor Lytwyn mentions in the Native Studies Review, “In those treaties, Native people believed that, among other things, their fishing rights would be 'free as by the past’. However, these expectations were not realized. Instead of protecting Native fishing rights, the government legitimized the takeover of Native fisheries by enacting legislation that. Effectively ignored the treaty promises and allocated the fishery resource to non-Native commercial interests”.

    South Carolina 1860 South Carolina had long been a catalyst for, and a symbol of, Southern dreams of a bold new future and an independent new confederacy as well as Northern nightmares of the American experiment gone awry. Most white South Carolinians believed that their economic prosperity, political interest, and social stability were inextricable tied to state rights, the organization of subjugation, and the manor framework as it had advanced subsequent to the frontier period. It is a commonplace of American history that South Carolina leaders did not always, in the first decades of the Union, defend the extreme state rights doctrines which John C. Calhoun so ably expounded later in the antebellum period. In the convention of 1787 South

    Unknown to many of the Native Americans at the time of their capture, they were leaving their home behind forever as well as their livelihoods. When General Scott and his men came and arrived to force people out of their homes, many people “did not have blankets and many of them had been driven from home barefooted”(Burnett). At the time of their capture, they were not given any information, which made their journey very brutal considering many of them did not have the proper protection from the harsh weather. As they started on their long journey “many of the children rose to their feet and waved their little hands good-by to their mountain homes, knowing they were leaving them forever”(Burnett). The people that were left in the tribe at the time did not sign up to leave their homes, which demonstrates how powerless they were over the invasion.
