Before today, I didn’t know much about Georgia O’Keeffe and I wasn’t familiar with any of her paintings. After reading through the section, I realized how much I admired this artist that I’d just learned about and how undervalued her art was, or maybe how little she’s spoken of nowadays, compared to other artists. Her landscape paintings all contain a very distinct look to them that make them seem very original. The fact that she makes a place like New Mexico seem like it’s got breathtaking scenery

The cultural differences and control over resources between Native Americans and Americans led to a long journey of Native Americans relocating west due to their land being illegally confiscated from them. The overgrowing population of Americans was the cause of the unjust and inhumane treatment of Native Americans in order for them rapidly expand their culture. Still, Native Americans continued to protect their common title of their land and preserve their existence until thousands of them were

Cherokee rights before the U.S. Supreme Court after the state of Georgia passed legislation that John Ross claimed to "go directly to annihilate the Cherokees as a political society." Georgia retaliated, claiming that the Cherokee nation could not sue since they were not a foreign nation with a constitution, therefore the case should not be brought to court in the first place. This brought upon the Supreme court case Cherokee Nation v. Georgia in 1831. The conclusion of this case, decided upon by Judge

In our “Shaping Of The Modern World” textbook we can find the source “Common sense” by Thomas Paine explaining how ineffective England’s rule over the colonies is, and we can also find “Social Order And Absolute Monarchy” by Jean Domat which argues in

Question 1 I think that Andrew Jackson was a bad president. He was bad because he was disrespectful to the native americans. Andrew Jackson declared federal tariffs of 1828 and 1832 were unconstitutional. The nation suffered a economic downturn through the 20’s. Politicians blamed the change in fortunes on the national tariff policy. I think this was Andrew Jackson's fault because he was president. This was called the nullification crisis. Andrew Jackson signed the indian removal act

President Andrew Jackson passed a law that stated the removal of the Cherokee Indians. They were forced to migrate elsewhere and leave their land. Their migration was called “The Trail of Tears” because of the negative effects it had on the Cherokees. It should not have happened and the U.S. should not have allowed it because it split apart people that were unified. They already had their own laws, and every clan was recognized. The marches took place over two thousand-two hundred miles, moving the

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

Is the twenty-first century and we are still seeing racism and sexism. Isn’t that supposed to be a thing from the past? All this technological advances and new discoveries and some of us are still having the same mentality our ancestors had back in the 30s. We have been seeing these types of prejudice over the years. In 1982, Alice Walker decided to write the novel ‘The Color Purple’ to let us all see life with sexism and racism from the perspective of a black woman. But what exactly is the definition

Just about a year ago, my seventh grade class took a trip to Pigeon Key, FL to spend two days at a Marine Science Center. My school encouraged every student to go on the trip and after hours and hours of driving, we were greeted by many enthusiastic staff members excited to take us on the boat to Pigeon Key. When the boat arrived at the dock, I was immediately overwhelmed by the gorgeous scenery. Water wrapped around the island like a blanket, leaving only a small space for the buildings. At the

The Declaration of Independence is taught to children as a letter sent from America to Britain almost like a breakup note, but this is not really what it was. The intent of the document is to convince a disparate group of British farmers and tradesmen, who lived in a colony far from England, that they had no choice but to unite in revolution against the tyrannical King. The Declaration of Independence artfully sought to find common ground among slave and free colonies, rich landowners and poor settlers

The Indian Removal Act was signed in 1830 by President Andrew Jackson to remove the Cherokee Indians from their homes and force them to settle west of the Mississippi River. The act was passed in hopes to gain agrarian land that would replenish the cotton industry which had plummeted after the Panic of 1819. Andrew Jackson believed that effectively forcing the Cherokees to become more civilized and to christianize them would be beneficial to them. Therefore, he thought the journey westward was necessary

Christianity, learn and speak the English language, learn how to individualize ownership of property and money. The Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, Creek, and the Cherokee tribes became known as the “Five Civilized Tribes.” The land that they belong at is: Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Florida, and Tennessee is where the whites had came all of the

Trail of Tears Native Americans have lived in the United States much longer than anyone of different decent. Way before Columbus ever thought about sailing the ocean blue the Cherokee tribe and others vacated the Southeast part of this country and it was rightfully their home. However they were kicked out from their homeland, where multiple generations of their families have lived for hundreds of years. This obscene removal is now known as the Trail of Tears, and this paper will demonstrate the

Many effects of these casualties can be found within Sherman Alexie’s collection of short stories, Blasphemy. Several of these tales show Native Indians experiencing a great deal of trials, tribulations, and unfortunate circumstances. Stories such as “War Dance,” “Basic Training,” and “This Is What It Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona,” display a generational disconnection between Native Indian fathers and their sons. In no way am I saying there was no kind of father-son relationship in these stories
