A Summary Of The Wild West

Historical dominance has been part of the global history for centuries. One of the biggest

examples set are by the Whites to the Natives. The history between the natives and the whites is

marked with distrust and animosity. It is sad to know by how the history between them has been

presented. The word “Unfair” for what the whites did to the natives is way too insignificant to be

justified. The natives have been robbed of their lands, viewed as barbarians, forced to follow

laws made by the whites and have been treated with such inequality where no common man in

natives could also have been seen on some amicable terms, however, it was the age of

dominance. The whites had developed a sense of superiority complex among themselves against

the natives which was clearly recognizable. They distinguished the uniqueness of the natives as a

being savages. The whites hypocritically justified how the natives had caused harm to their

people and community. The war between Britain and the White Americans clearly justified how

much the natives wanted the whites to leave their land as they took the side a foreign enemy who
