Oneida Community, Shakers And The Mormons

Even though the idea of complete equality is appealing, it is individualism that makes life interesting. Everything that makes a person unique would cease to exist. Robert Owen created the first American Utopia in 1825 called “the New Harmony Community” along the Wabash River in western Indiana. The residents

In the middle of winter in Missouri 1838, eight thousand to ten thousand Mormons trekked through the belligerent weather conditions searching to find a place of refuge. They were compelled out of the state of Missouri due to the infamous Mormon Extermination Order. The Extermination Order, which at the time was thought to be a compromise, ended up causing even more conflict in the form of violent rhetoric, battles, fights, and mobs. The members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and the Missourians had been struggling to find compromise. The Mormon Extermination Order was an attempt to create compromise for LDS members being persecuted in Missouri while ending the political and religious conflict the large numbers of Saints

Every person has their own personal vision of utopia. My utopia may be filled with libraries and cats, while yours would probably look very different. In Frankenstein, Shelley gives us Victor Frankenstein, a man who envisions a world where he will never feel the pain of losing someone he loves again. He devises a way to cheat

Utopian communities have had an incredible impact on both American society and various recognized religious sects throughout the United States as a whole. Many people saw, and still see, democratic government as unfair, leaving the poor behind to become poorer while the rich continued to get richer; they felt a change in work and fairness was officially in order. Utopian societies were created with commendable intentions, and their idea of the perfect cooperative society is an attractive conference, but they were all considered experiments because they all declined swiftly and hopelessly.

Most new societies that have a Utopian idea most likely stem from a traumatic event where humanity believed it had no other choice but to go to the extreme.

Utopianism is the belief that a society can be made perfect in every aspect of life. During the Second Great Awakening, there were many attempts at successful utopias. The Brook Farm Association was an attempt. In the Brook Farm Association Constitution made in 1841, the members state that they want to apply the laws

I chose the Stockbridge-Munsee Tribe. I primarily chose this tribe because it is one that was influential in my life having gone to school in Bonduel. I have friends among this tribe and have genuinely enjoyed the knowledge and heritage they have shared with me.

The Yuma Tribe resides in what is currently modern day southwestern Arizona, specifically the city of Yuma, and parts of southeastern California. Yuma Indians lived in small settlements called rancherias that were located along the Colorado River. The climate is hot and barren with temperatures reaching over 100℉.

Spring: The Dakotas tribe were returning to their camps when Spring had arrived. They got straight to tapping the maple trees.They would use the syrup for sugar and hard candies. They would also use the syrup for geese and duck bills.They would trade the syrup for other goodies .They would hunt muskrats,otters, beavers,minks, and martens. The muskrats were used to feed hunters.

The Utes are a Colorado tribe whose land was gradually overrun by mineral and gold miners. Chief Ouray signed a treaty in 1863 allowing settlers to mine Ute land and relinquishing all mineral rights. He signed another treaty in 1868 that allotted 16 million acres of forests and meadows in the Rockies as a personal reservation that prohibited white trespass. When disputes arose, Nathan Meeker attempted to assimilate the Utes into Euro-American culture, but William Vickers opposed the idea and started "The Utes Must Go!" campaign in 1879. Vickers called on the US cavalry to prevent an uprising by the Utes. The Utes responded by killing all the white men at the White River Indian agency. In 1881, as a result of outrage over the White River Massacre,

     Between the 1820’s and 1860’s, Americans were trying new things and promoting different ideas and ways of thinking. Once such idea is that of a utopian society. A utopian

To begin, there were many concerns when admitting new states in the West, including race and Mormon marriage. Out of these two issues, race was most definitely a major problem in more than one state. First, unlike in the Eastern states, when Utah had reached level of statehood, many Mormon’s practiced plural marriage. The government did not like this and therefore made it illegal to marry multiple wives. Instead, Mormons were not convicted of this crime and many ignored it. Eventually, Utah reached the population for statehood and Mormons decided becoming a state was more important than plural marriage. In my opinion, the biggest concern when admitting states to the West was race. Like the East, race issues also played a big role in statehood.

I chose to research the Oneida Nation Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin Elderly Heath Care. Here is a little background on the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin. They are located in Brown and Outagamie Counties. They are descendants of an indigenous Iroquoian-speaking nation that arose in the present-day central-western New York. The Oneida Tribe is a sovereign government. Oneida means “long awaited” and they spoke Oneida. Lastly, they have three clans: Turtle, Bear, and Wolf Clan. The Turtle Clan represents the shifting of the earth and the cycles of the moon. The people of this clan represent the well of information and the keepers of the land. The Bear Clan known as Medicine people, the healers. There are stories passed down about how the Bear

The Utopians live in a society that is free from the grips of money and hoarding, one that is as close to perfect as one can feasibly imagine. It is a world where people get along together in harmony, with “nothing private anywhere” (More 231). The only have gardening competitions, and even their gardens are not permanent, dying with each passing year. They “change houses by lot” every ten years to keep people from hoarding earthly goods, and by doing this create a society where not only does everyone contribute, and everyone also communicates and relates to those around them (More 231). This happens in large part, according to More, because of “communal living and their moneyless economy” (More 269). Through this revolutionary and ideal living, they create a place where there is no bribery because there is no money, with

Another thing I would like to mention in this letter is that these people have little to no fortitude. In times of trouble, they try to avoid war and violence. If they can not, then they would hire mercenary arms to fight for them. The only reason why I mention that they have some fortitude is that they would only fight during times of absolute trouble when all other options are gone, and if that time does come, they will be ready because they train. However, even in battle, the Utopians say that they try to avoid killing as many men as possible. They would instead capture them as
