When Czolgosz was asked why he killed the president, Czolgosz said, “I thought it would be a good thing for this country to kill the president.” In his final statement, he said, “I killed the president because he was enemy of the good people - the good working people. I am not sorry for my crime. I am sorry I could not see my father.” Later, in his

    Another editorial review from the El Paso Herald-Post claims the book “will be the best introduction to Indian acculturation in the southwest for a long time to come.” The El Paso Herald-Post was founded in 1881 and ceased publication in 1997. Though one of the highlighted editorial reviews is from a post that has been out of business for almost twenty years, Cycles of Conquest continues to be used as a source book for anthropologists and historians. Edward H Spicer’s Cycles of Conquest contains dated language that is modernly considered slander. But college-aged students should not be protected from offensive and insensitive language; the malicious vocabulary should be noted and discussed. To sensor historical works that contain insensitive language is a masking agent: it hides social progress that is exponentially improving. Cycles of Conquest should not be retired as a source book for information about southwestern cultural change because of its offensive language, it should be retired because of its outdated…

    During the year 1763, the town of Paxton, in eastern Pennsylvania, had become a hotspot of political and racial unrest. Inhabitants of this town, including many Scots-Irish immigrants, had grown tired of their government’s lack of interest in their vulnerability from outside attacks and inadequate supplement of means for defending themselves. So in December, after a day of heavy drinking, the Paxton Boys decided to take it upon themselves to defend their own. The boys raided a small village of friendly, peaceful Conestoga Indians, killing 6 and taking 14 captive. This led to warrants being sent out for their arrest, but because of fellow frontiersmen who felt the same as they did, there were…

    Robertson stayed true to his objective and only shows slight bias. An unfair representation of the Native Americans was conveyed when Robertson called the Indians savages. Yet, he supported his claim by illustrating the Indian’s savage behaviors later in the text. While displaying the Indian’s savage behavior, he did not thoroughly examine their culture; and therefore, showed slight bias in his work. However, it does not diminish Robertson’s overall objectivity.…

    In “Move the Cherokee to Indian Territory” by Jack Andrews, it states, “We should also remember that these Indians have waged war on America since 1775.” This quote shows that the Americans and the Indians have been enemies since 1775. The article also says, “In 1776 the Cherokees ravaged American settlements in North and South Carolina, killing men, women and children. In many cases their victims were scalped alive and even burned at the stake.” This shows that the Americans are justified for the seeing the Indians as enemies because of the way that the Indians have treated them in the past. It would be madness to invite someone who had kidnapped and murdered a friend to stay at one’s home. The opposing side might argue that Americans have treated the Indians badly as well by cheating them during trading and breaking agreements. However, if the Indians were to move away to the Indian Territory, they would be free to govern themselves and would not have to deal with any or all Americans ever…

    Tim O’Brien’s novel In the Lake of the Woods perpetually references the preceding atrocities that blemish American history. Within the chapters titled ‘Evidence’, scattered amongst the evidence accumulated for the fictional investigation into Kathy Wade’s disappearance, quotations from characters both authentic and fake exhibit the catalogue of concealed violence embedded in American history. Quotations reference the brutality in the battles of Lexington and Concord where the colonists were “as deplorable as the Indians for scalping and cutting the dead men’s auditory perceivers and nasal perceivers off” (262). Further references contained in the Evidence chapters regarding the Native Americans reiterate the words “exterminate” (260) and verbalize…

    One of history’s greatest ironies concerns the American treatment of Indians, particularly those who once inhabited the New English Colonies. While Nathaniel Philbrick’s Mayflower depicts these Native Americans as essential to both the Pilgrims and Colonist’s survivals, it also fails to elaborate on how utterly meaningless the role of these people became over the course of two centuries. What was once a large, prosperous nation of self-sufficient individuals became a mere smudge of paint on the vast portrait of American Society. Contemporary rights activists and inquisitive historians alike will value Philbrick’s novel as an accurate representation of native american/colonial relations, and how they began to deteriorate over time.…

    Quickly reacting to the McKinley assassination, the New York Legislature in 1902 passed a law that made it a felony to advocate the “doctrine that organized government must be overthrown by force or violence . . . or by unlawful means.” That criminal anarchy statute came about because New York authorities felt frustrated by their inability to prosecute the real perpetrators of the crime, anarchist orator Emma Goldman (whose lectures the assassin had attended) and her like, for the McKinley murder. The purpose of the criminal anarchy statute was to outlaw dangerous doctrines before any consequences occurred or were likely to occur. It was passed to supply a basis for future prosecutions of people like Emma Goldman and Ben Gitlow.…

    Unfortunately, despite how precisely Indians followed white men’s laws and requirements, the Indian Removal would have eventually transpired. The Five Civilized Tribes shed their Indian traditions and culture to take on the Americans way of life. Indians not only adopted principles in government and agriculture, but also religiously. Despite all of this, whites still wanted to kick Indians out of their lands in order to bring profit to themselves. Even the national government could not terminate the Indian Removal. Through both the United States Constitution and Worcester v. Georgia, the national government declared that states could not operate the removal of Indians. All of this, illustrates the inhumanity and lack of compassion whites had…

    Most of the Native Americans that was in this campaign belong to the Oneida Indian Nation group. This Oneida Indian Nation group had a lot to say about this situation. Ray Halbritter, a representative for the Oneida Indian Nation said “ The use of such an Offensive term has negative consequences for the Native American community when it comes to issues of self-identity and imagery.” (Skinner). With this being said this issue spread to Native Americans everywhere and they would not stay quiet while others would disgrace their family’s…

    Hurt, shame, humiliation, and pain. The struggle for Indigenous people is a continuous cycle of abuse and one of broken hopes and dreams. In Deborah Miranda’s tribal memoir, Bad Indians, she uses her narrative along with primary sources and related stories to reassess previous knowledge about how the lives of American Indians were affected by colonialism. Through the use of tone, point of view, and counter discourse, Miranda sheds light on how the gender-based violence and sexual abuse that accompanies colonialism, despite the notion that settlers were following Christian ideals, shaped a new Indigenous society that tore their culture apart and led to a mosaic of their broken identities. By creating a distinction between historically dominant…

    Divergent Indian Tribes, throughout North and South America, had been thriving and living for generations with a deep reverence for their God or Spirit, and living in symbiosis with the land. As the new settlers arrived, they introduced their own brand of social order, however, they failed to understand the impact their desire to conform or corral the native people would forever alter, and in some instances destroy, the lives of future generations of Indians. One of the most startling examples of this was the decimation of the Lakota Indians by the 7th Calvary at Wounded Knee, South Dakota in 1890. Their leader, Big Foot, certainly was feeling the hopelessness and frustration of his people living on the Cheyenne River Reservation having to rely on the handouts from corrupt government officials for survival. It is likely, compelled by the desire to create a better existence for his people; Big Foot left the reservation in late December with approximately 300 of his people to meet Red Cloud, the Oglala Indian leader, at Pine Ridge. Previous to their ill- fated journey, their hopes had been temporarily inspired by Sitting Bull’s Ghost Dance; the Lakota Indians would dance tirelessly and endlessly whereby hoping to restore their nation’s personal freedoms and way of life prior to the intrusion of the white settlers on their lands. Unfortunately, their efforts would prove unsuccessful and succeeded only in producing further doubts by the white settlers and, likely, the justification for the actions of the 7th Calvary soldiers at Wounded Knee when the Lakota would be summarily executed even as they stood…

    Black Americans, segregation, and slavery. Most of the people who have studied American history recognize the inhumane actions towards people of color during the 1960’s and 1980’s. Yet, people often are not aware of the similar acts perpetrated on the Native Americans during the same period of time. The Native Americans had to suffer their past of external shame imposed on their culture and tradition by the White American society, followed by a coercion of White American culture due to the government proposal of the “Indian problem.” Nevertheless, the Native Americans maintained their pride in their identity and culture internally, within their tribes, and carried out such acts as Ghost Dance, valuing their own tradition. While it may seem paradoxical, both shame and pride of culture and identity simultaneously resonate in Native Americans today as a means of letting go of the unpleasant past and moving on to the future with a new hope.…
