Chief Logan Character Traits

Logan, Miles, Daisy, and Philip changed a lot from the beginning to the end of The Candymakers. Logan, at the beginning, was shy and nervous he wouldn’t make a good first impression. Logan also really wanted to win the contest to please his parents. At the beginning, Logan was not aware that people cared and they were curious about his scars. Miles, at the beginning, was shy but slowly getting talkative. Miles also said he was allergic to a bunch of things because witnessed a horrible accident. He was also very nervous for Logan because of the scars. At the beginning, all Daisy wanted to do was get in and get out of that factory with the secret ingredient. Daisy also didn’t like Philip at all at the beginning. Philip, at the beginning, thought he was kicked out of the factory and that it was Logan’s fault that his truck fell into the vat of chocolate. All Philip wanted to do was win the candy contest to prove that he was better than his brother, Andrew and he was rude and unpleasant in an effort to win.

In the end, the Cherokee’s alliance turned out to be ill-fated. The Cherokee were not one to give up so easily evidenced by the last general to surrender was Cherokee General Stand Watie. His late surrender certainly did not improve the feelings of the citizens of the United States towards him and his tribe. After the war, the Cherokee tribe was a laughingstock and were regarded as traitors. Even after their defeat, the Cherokee could still be proud they enjoyed a bit of freedom from the United States.

Shawnee leader, Tecumseh, was not a happy Native. He blamed the greed and oppression of the Europeans for the destruction of the Native American cultures. The Europeans greed led them to strip the land from the Natives, and try in forcing their religion upon the Natives. Tecumseh believed that the land was for all. There was nothing about selling, taking, and giving the land away. The Europeans just did not have that mindset at all. Red Jacket was a Seneca leader. He was very discouraged of the fact that they took the land of the Natives, but even more because they wanted to force their religion upon the Native Americans. The Europeans were ruthless when it came to this. They did not think about their feelings and the actions that could hurt the Natives. (Doc 4, 5, 6)

It held many struggles and disagreements, which lead to many retaliations, from both the Indians and the settlers. The Indians had been alliances with the white men until the massacre, which stated the settlers betrayal to all tribes.

In the 2011 film, Captain America: The First Avenger by Joe Johnston, a rejected military soldier transforms into Captain America after taking a super-soldier serum to fight in the war against a terrorist organization, and discovers that to be the hero everyone loves sacrifices have to be made. Steve Rogers, the main character, symbolizes a young man who wants to fight for their country in World War 2, but is too weak and small to be enlisted. The film reinvents the typical man by making Steve into a super-soldier making him taller, stronger, and better looking, thereby encompassing the physicality of masculinity. However, Steve ultimately rejects the modern conceptions of what it means to be a man which creates a new type of masculinity that focuses more on emotions and natural goodness, and is therefore somewhat feminized. Although the film appears to just be another stereotypical representation of a male leading others to victory fearlessly, it also challenges the hegemonic codes for masculinity while also presenting an idea of what a “real” man should be.

Nowadays, people know Caesar Rodney’s name because of the school district. But exactly how many know who Caesar Rodney was and what he did for Delaware? Born in 1728 in Dover, Rodney was the eldest of eight children. He attended the Latin School in Philadelphia and went on to hold many important government jobs. Rodney didn’t let his asthma or cancer affect his career, often putting his own needs off to continue serving his people. Perhaps his greatest achievements included delegate to the Continental Congress and signer of the Declaration of Independence. Though he had an informal education, he became one of the most important men in Delaware’s history.

The situation became a crisis when, the colonists decided to fight back and made the grave mistake of attacking the wrong Indians, which caused many more Native American attacks to take place. To prevent future attacks, Governor Berkeley ordered an investigation into the issue. He set up what was to be a disaster of a meeting between the Indians and himself, which resulted in the murders of several tribal chiefs.

The dawn of the new American republic saw also the birth of U.S. Indian policy. In observing the bureaucracy of the United States government, one could clearly note the American view of proper dealings with Native peoples. It was the official U.S. policy to deal with the Indian tribes as separate foreign entities, grouping Choctaws, Shawnee, Cherokee and Creek peoples with the Spaniards, English and French. Curiously enough, the Secretary of War, not the Secretary of State, became responsible for Indian affairs. Clearly, the United States saw the Indians as a threat, either real or potential. In addition, the United States saw the Indians as a barrier to new and prosperous lands in the Western territories. An unofficial policy of provocation emerged. Using a multi-pronged assault, Americans would often enter Indian land and commit a crime worthy of retaliation by native peoples. Such an event precipitated Lord Dunmore's War; John Logan, a prominent Indian favored by many white men, was horrified to find his family murdered by white intruders. Vowing revenge, Logan led an attack on white settlements and the event quickly escalated to a full-blown war between the Shawnee and the whites, culminating in an Indian defeat and a subsequent land session. Such

Indians were already settled and peaceful in the Connecticut region, but things got rough when the New England colonists began to look for land in the rising Connecticut, Massachusetts Bay, and Plymouth colonies lands. The Pequot Indians were not welcoming of the white settlers at all. Colonists approached and began to establish their policies. The Indians attempted their best to maintain their control of the land. This help lead to the Pequot War of 1637 (Richards, “Pequot War of 1637”). The main spark for the war was when eight Europeans were killed because a tribe was not paid proper ransom. The Pequot started to attack towns in the colonies. Colonists were killed, kidnapped, and their lands were destroyed. Later on, the Connecticut colonists attacked the Pequot village of Misistuck, and it ended with a massacre. The war ended when the Treaty of Hartford was signed. The Pequots were distributed to the Naragansett, Mohegan, and Metoac tribes as slaves or shipped by colonists to Bermuda as slaves. Colonists declared ownership of the lands (Copper, “13 Things About the Pequot War”). Not only did The New England colonists fight, but The Chesapeake colonists fought Native Americans too. Much of the conflict is

Due to the fact that colonists lacked agricultural skills that were needed for survival, they confronted relationship difficulties with the Indians. John Smith, being a man with great leadership skills, forced colonists to work in the fields multiple hours per day. Colonists disliked Smith’s way of thinking, which led him to being exiled from Jamestown. Without a leader, settlers began to starve and become ill. This tragic time became known as the “Starving Time”. (Doc. E) Lacking options, the settlers made their way towards the Indians and forced them to give them grain. Obviously, this angered the Indians which led to distrust. Distrust ultimately caused an immense amounts of deaths, about 110 to be more accurate. (Doc. E) Due to the

In 1791 the United States government assigned Major General Arthur St. Clair with the task of forcing the Native Americans to honor the Treaty of Fort Harmar. In order to accomplish this feat, St. Clair had to march his group from what is now known as Cincinnati, Ohio to Fort Wayne, Indiana (Buffenbarger). Neither the United States Army nor St. Clair could have ever guessed what the end result of this mission would be. Little Turtle, a chief of the Miami tribe, led a confederacy onto St. Clair’s camp and proceeded to commit the greatest defeat the United States Army would ever see by the Native Americans (“St. Clair’s Defeat”). There were many events that gave Little Turtle and his

Taoyateduta fought in the war, even though he didn’t believe the Dakota could win because the majority of the tribe wanted war. The Dakota were outraged with frustration at the White Americans for late land payments, corrupt government officials and traders and not having their opinions heard. There were two hundred Indians following “Little Crow” in war. Not all Dakota fought in the war, as some were not equipped to. Although, there were more Indians joined by the second battle of New Ulm.

The first people that the opening of the land attracted were miners, followed by entrepreneurs to capitalize on new mining settlements. These miners were violent and lawless and had no feeling for the Indian whose land they were slowly taking over. The tension came to a head in 1860 when an Apache Chief, Mangas Coloradas visited a mining camp alone in good faith. Upon arrival “the miners tied him to a tree and lashed him unmercifully with their bullwhips.” (Debo 61) The treacherous act sent Mangas Coloradas on the warpath with the help of Apache leader Cochise. The Apaches attacked settlements and supply trains, stole horses and looted the cornfields. Although Geronimo himself had not been wronged, his people had been so he fought along side his tribe.
