    Dollar Bill Dbq

    One of the reasons of why the dollar bill represents why the Indian Removal Act was enforced was because of Manifest Destiny. Manifest Destiny was nothing more than an idea or belief that was popular in the 19th century. This belief was surrounded by Christianity. The belief was that the US was chosen by God to have land/resources. This relates to the dollar bill because it says: “In God We Trust”. The Native Tribes were being swept away and the white settlers believed that it was right for them to be swept away because they didn't believe in god. Their decisions were easier to justify because God was on their side. Manifest destiny was religion plus nationality. If you take your religion and say that you are chosen by god, it turns religion…

    Wild Swans is a personal account of three generations of women in China. In this chapter Jung Chang records the experience of her mother on the Long March across China to spread the ideas of the communist leader, Mao Zedong. After traveling from Jinzhou to Tianjin by train they had to continue their journey on foot. The route was fraught with danger as there were bandits and units of retreating Kuomintang soldiers ready to attack the marchers. They ‘had to walk long distances every day, often on rough paths, carrying their bedrolls and other belongings on their backs.’ Jung Chang’s mother’s feet were covered in blisters and she stumbled often in the slippery mud when it rained. They had to climb a steep mountain and she nearly toppled over the cliffs a number of times. She nearly drowned crossing a fast-flowing river. Her husband was allowed to travel in a jeep, with his bodyguards and he was not very sympathetic to his wife’s misery. Later she suffered a miscarriage as a result of this hardship and trauma.…

Once in China Jing Mei decides her mother was right and she "has never really known what it meant to be Chinese" (307). She has never understood her mother or her heritage.
