5. What “hard dilemma” did President Grant face after the discovery of gold in the Black Hills? Why did this conflict between minors and Indians result in the Great Sioux War of 1876? What role did Sitting Bull play in the Battle of Little Bighorn?

The American Patriots totaled 900 men under the leaderships of William Campbell, James Johnston, John Sevier, Benjamin Cleveland, Joseph Winston, Joseph McDowell, Frederick Hambright, James Williams, and Colonel Isaac Shelby. (Hickman, 2015) These American Patriots referred to as the “Over the Mountain Men” (Jones, 2009) most from the backcountry of the Appalachian

This chapter provided information from the trial of Captain Thomas Preston. The chapter asked the question, “What really happened in the Boston Massacre”. Chapter four focused on the overall event of the Massacre and trying to determine if Captain Preston had given the order to fire at Boston citizens. The chapter provides background information and evidence from Preston’s trial to leave the reader answering the question the chapter presents. Although, after looking through all the witnesses’ testimonies some might sway in Captain Preston’s favor, just the way the grand jury did.

“Every thought is a battle, every breath is a war and I don’t think we are winning anymore”. The depressing thoughts in which were made up of dying and not surviving were going through the minds of all the soldiers at Valley Forge as well as mine. The need of food, clothes, and weapons were needed. The wanting to win and return home to our families were mutual between all of us as well. Since the summer of 1775, George Washington has withdrawn from Boston and retreated to New York City after the American Revolution. Recently, he had been unable to stop the British when Howe marched his army into the capital of Philadelphia. Washington had a very hard time trying to keep us in his army. Some of them had signed on for one year or two, but others left or simply deserted us. The question is simple, whether or not you would stay and fight for your country or leave with honor and your dignity. My choice was obvious, staying to fight for my country. There are many reasons surrounding my choice, including the fact that the supplies were provided for us in order to live and fight through the terrible seasons, the encouragement we needed, and the conditions we faced.

Under British occupation, unrest grew among the tribes (Hough,xii0). Pontiac called a meeting of Ottawa, Chippewa, Huron, Potawatomi and other Lake tribes. Pontiac was a powerful orator as well as warrior, and possessed a keen intelligence and skill as a strategist. He spoke to the council of the wrongs they had suffered under the British and spoke of the Master of Life and his urging for the Indians to turn back to their old ways. The warriors

In 1823, Native Americans fired upon a group of American soldiers on the Missouri River. At the time the attack seemed random and unsolicited, but this isn’t true. Conflict over trade between the British and the Native Americans in the wake of the American Revolution manifested itself in the Native Americans’ hostility through the British trade of weapons and alcohol, and American Secretary of War John Calhoun’s willful ignorance to preserve plausible deniability. The introduction of trading houses in U.S. territory by a British company provoked the federal government to send an unofficial military group consisting of irresponsible men to reestablish trade with the Arikara Indians in an attempt to drive the British off their land. Alternatively,

The history of the United States is built on the sacrifice of the men who served it in times of need. Among the many conflicts and bloody wars, there is but one I wish to witness: the French and Indian War. It was not only the war that began stirring tension between the colonies and the mother country Great Britain, but the first steps towards what would be known as “Guerilla warfare”. Now, the French and Indian war had begun simply because French fur trappers came from what is now Canada to North America, west of the colonies. Yes, this can be seen as the beginnings of an assault on Great Britain’s colonies, but I’d would like to see the thought process the king, George II, had gone through to set forth this war. I would also like to see

Next, Green Jacket point of view the Shawnee would get mad because the shawnee were helping the British in the war. Major Dugan is on Green Jacket’s side because he was a British Officer. The Shawnee wouldn’t be on the other side because they aren’t pay them back

The principal influences on my understanding of Native American history is rather vague other than the events of the War of 1812 as being from northwest Ohio and living not far from Fort Meigs my local history is rooted deep in Native American history as many tribes joined forces with the British to fight western expansion as during the months of May and July combined forces of Native Americans and British regulars laid siege to the fort. However, both times the American army forces were able to defend the fort and won victories over the British/Native American forces. Something that I found quite interesting is that during the second siege of Fort Meigs a Native American under the name Tecumseh convinced the British forces that instead of

On hearing the report of Colonel Robertson-Rose, Sir John A Macdonald would not allow his plans for a populated North-West Territories to die down or discouraged immigrant moving in because of all the current evil things that are happening in the Territory. He reasoned also that, “If the conditions described by Butler and confirmed by Colonel Robertson-Rose were not properly dealt with, and the “United States troops continued to be harassed by the Indians operating from the North-West Territories”, the United State government “might annex the Territories and use its own methods to establish order there. Sir John A. Macdonald’s government did not intend to allow this to happen. They had not acquired the North-West from Hudson’s Bay Company only to lose it to the Americans.”7 The government must act fast before it is too late. On April 28, the Prime Minister Macdonald proposed a bill “Respecting the Administration of Justice and for the Establishment of a Police Force in the North-West Territories.” The day after the presentation of the bill, the news of the Battle Creek in far-off Cypress Hill (South Saskatchewan) Massacre arrived Ottawa. “A primordial man had been suddenly confronted by a wave of civilization gone viciously degenerate.

      There are two main types of political systems, one being a presidential system and the other being a parliamentary system. Both of them have their own benefits as well as their own disadvantages. No political system can be perfect or can always have stability, but shown in history there are successful countries that use either one. Also there are countries that have failed with one of the two systems.

The American Political System The American political system is a federal system, which consists of
