Several Native Americans from the Cherokee tribe had feared that the whites would encroach upon their settlements in the near future so they moved west of the Mississippi many years before the Indian Removal Act was put into place. This good foresight and early movement allowed for them to pick the time that they wanted to leave and they allowed themselves the leisure of moving at their own pace and stopping when they wanted which cut down on casualties extremely and this also allowed them to allocate the appropriate amount of supplies for the trip before attempting to make it prematurely and causing catastrophe to hit. They established a government and worked out a peaceful way of life with the nearby surroundings and allowed themselves to blend into the area that they desired rather than an area that was designated for them. There was always a large tension building between the whites and Cherokee which had reached its climax after the discovery of gold in Georgia. This drove a frenzy that many people wanted in on to make out with a good sum of money as gold was in high demand and worth a lot at the time. When the gold was found it started a miniature gold rush and pulled in whites and

In 1829 Andrew Jackson wrote a message to congress discussing the problem with the Indians living within the states. He said that they were either to live by the laws of the state or they would move them somewhere else by force. When they put this into place they offered the Indians free land and happiness. The trip to their new homes which was in Kansas was long and hard. Many people died on the trip to Kansas and once they got to their new homes it was cramped and a desert land which was what Lewis and Clark called it when they visited Kansas before the Indians came. The good thing was that even though they didn’t know at first Kansas had really rich soil which

Most often, geography and history are relatively synonymous, because several locations have a resounding places in history. The main concepts of geography such as location, place, and regions are related with the major ideas of history such as time, period, and events. The relationship between history and geography is especially close because they represent two fundamental dimensions of the same phenomenon (Guide to teaching world history 2001-2004). Similarly, by studying the geography and history of Pike’s Peak, one can learn the effect of pike’s peak over Colorado history. The influence of pikes peak in history of Colorado
At the beginning of the semester, I was under the impression that I knew quite a lot about the geography of South Dakota. However, I quickly realized that there was an abundance of information left for me to learn. This course allowed me to expand my knowledge on many factors of South Dakota’s geography.

The Americans drove out the Indians from the East, and moved them to the west of mississippi. The goverment moved the Indians even when some of them didn’t want to move. Then they forced them out and didn’t let them take anything from their homes. The Indians tried to fight for their homes in the Battle of Thames in 1812. This led to many Indians death including Tecumsah.
Pacific Northwest is not only a region in northwest America but also my second home. Pacific Northwest includes: part of Alaska, most of British Columbia, Canada, Washington State, Oregon State, Idaho State, and part of northern California. From the view of climate, most of area of Pacific Northwest has oceanic climate. In oceanic climate, the temperature in summer season is cool, and the temperature in winter season is cold, but not too cold. Also, there is much precipitation during winter season, whereas there is less precipitation during summer season. In Seattle (WA), Portland (OR), and Vancouver (BC), we have a rainy season from mid-October to mid-April. In contrast, it is not so hot, but dry and less humid during summer. The condition
The laws and practices that the government created for Native Americans were not fair. The government created treaties for the Native Americans stating where they could, or could not live. The government created these treaties so that the white citizens could have the new land that they wanted. The first treaty the Native Americans had to sign was the Medicine Lodge Treaty of 1867. This treaty started that the Native Americans had to live in what is now the state of Oklahoma. The second treaty the Native Americans signed was the Fort Laramie Treaty. This was the treaty that made the Native Americans have to live on reservations so that Americans settlers could have land in the west. These reservations were a small plot of land for the large number of Native Americans in a specific tribe. In return for living on reservations the Native Americans were told they would receive money and provisions. The government also passed the Dawes Severalty
Every muscles springs to life with every step taken that’s followed by a faint squeak echoing underneath my Adidas J Wall 1. Every step feels like dead weight that’s stuck in time while images wash across my brain over the tears shed last year and the hype of Kentucky’s unimaginable season up to now. Lights illuminate the hallway packed with every member that represents UW-Madison, but the only noise that’s expressed can be heard is the roar from the inside of Lucas Oil Stadium. Thousands of die-hard fans fill the entire room, yet they only appear like a sea of colors while patiently waiting for the announcer to begin. My mind draws a blank before rising slowly to make my way onto the freshly waxed hardwood floor.
