Examples Of Jealousy In The American Indian War
Jealousy is a part of the world that people as a whole tend to ignore. We as a group of individuals don't want to admit to ourselves that we feel insecure, and want to be in someone else's position. Throughout history a lot of the wars that occurred happen because of rulers being jealous of what other people have. A couple of examples would be the Revolutionary War, and the American Indian war. In the Revolutionary War Great Britain was jealous of what America had in its land and didn’t want the pilgrims to have it all to themselves, so they heavily taxed tham and tried to keep them under their rule so that they could always have it. In the American Indian war, America wanted to have the land that the Indians had, so they tricked and stole

    Native American relations. Early colonial-Indian relations were an uneasy mix of cooperation and conflict. On the other were a long series of difficult, skirmishes and wars, which almost invariably resulted in an Indian defeat and further loss of land. Although Native Americans benefitted from access to new technology and trade, the disease and thirst for land which the early settlers also brought posed a serious challenge to the Indian's long-established way of life. Those Indians who traded initially had significant advantage over rivals who did not. Some friendly natives were no longer…

    Throughout American history, Native Americans were known as “savages” or the antagonist because of the way they looked and acted. Their rituals and beliefs were very different from the white people, who were forcing them out of their land. From 1850-1870 the Indians had a major territorial loss. It all started when the transcontinental railroad was being built in the early 1800’s. The transcontinental railroad started in Sacramento, California and ended in Council Bluffs, Iowa. They made the railroad on the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific routes.…

    For thousands of years there have been conflicts over the ownership of land. The case between the Native Americans and the European settlers was no different. Europe was becoming overpopulated which prompted brave individuals to venture across the Atlantic Ocean to claim land in the New World. Their claim of land became an issue as the land was already occupied by the Natives. More settlers came and eventually colonies sprung up, which proceeded to push the Natives westwards from their land. Assaults on the colonists by Native Americans to defend their way of life resulted in many deaths. Some of the Natives assimilated to the ideas of the white man resulting in loss of their culture.…

    They were forced to leave their lands and put to live on reservations, where life wasn't easy at all. Some refused to leave their lands but as the situation worsen, they had no other option than accepting. Native Americans and whites were not always fighting, they usually traded and negotiated peacefully. Things went peacefully until the white's started tricking the Indians, like signing the treaty of Traverse de Sioux; when Red Cloud signed it they were promised many things which never happened, the white's tricked him and now he had no option than signing or all of the tribe would be killed. Also General Sherman and General Custer, they were always trying disastrous things against the harmless Native Americans, like burning their homes and forcing them to do things they didn't want to. The whites betrayed the Native Americans, but there was nothing the Indians could do, if they tried to rebel against the whites they would end up just like Sitting…

    As unfair as it sounds, the Americans wanted to conquer land that was already owned by the Natives. To begin with, White settlers began to notice that the west side of the Mississippi river was not the best location for farming. The solution created was to farm on the east side, however, that was the Native Americans territory. Therefore, the plan was to move all Natives to the Plains and bring the settlers into the east to farm. The plan itself was unfair because although it is true the Native Americans believed nobody owned the land, technically, the Natives were the ones who settled in the East first and developed their own culture. American president, Andrew Jackson, supported the farming settlers point of view and began to send troops…
