Seneca orator was known as the Red Coat, he sent and received messages during the Revolutionary War. Seneca had many indian names, although the only one we know by heart is Sagoyewatha, which means roughly “he keeps them awake,” and apparently alludes to his abilities as an orator. After the War of 1812, he was involved in successful negotiations with the Americans to protect Seneca lands in western New York. He gave a memorable outstanding speech that was directed toward the missionary Jacob Cram in 1805. Cram came from Massachusetts to Senecas to build up a mission station. He told the people including the Red Coat that there was only one religion and one way to serve God. If you don’t serve God right you will forever be unhappy. Jacob use a person to translate what he was saying. The Red Coat’s decided to reply back to him saying that the rules of a white Christian may not be the same as the non-white indigenous people. Even though the non-white indigenous people don’t have the same religion or beliefs as everybody else. Doesn’t mean they should immediately shut down their religious beliefs. After the speech the Red Coat’s started to think that Jacob was a separatists. He said that he thanked the Great Spirit for letting them have a meeting and also for helping them to open up their mind about things.Then they went to add thanks for letting him speak so freely and from their hearts. The audience listened to what they had to say. He didn’t want to hold them up, so he went
The combined tribe known as the Seneca-Cayuga Tribe of Oklahoma that is currently located near the four-state area, consists of members who survived throughout the rough journeys, such as the Trail of Tears, which the majority of Indians went through. These Indians were once a part of the Iroquois Confederacy, which originated from New York State. Later, these tribes united in Oklahoma, also known as “Indian Territory”, after the nineteenth century war, between the States.
I have learned today that they were Christians. And like all or most of the
In “The Keynote Address of Seneca Falls”, Elizabeth Stanton uses the rhetorical devices, repetition, imagery, and tone to portray her feelings about women’s rights and to speak up for all women who believe that woman are just as great as man. Seneca Falls in New York was where one of the first women’s right’s convention was held, which over three hundred people, men and woman, attended. This convention is where Elizabeth gave her speech to hundreds of people who wanted to reach the same goals.
Only two religions allowed in a population, Voltaire says, would create animosity and competition between the two groups for power. But if all religions are tolerated, accepted, and represented, then peace will be prominent and government will function much for efficiently and to the benefit of all of the people. Everyone’s rights will be represented because all of the focus will not just be on one or two groups of people but a multitude of groups, creating religious equality for all.
I hope you are well despite the recent events that have disturbed our town. In the past, I understand that I may have hurt you. However, I write to you as a man who fears for the stability of his town, not as a former companion. I always take it upon myself to judge others, and now I judge myself as well. Since I believe in the need for honesty, I am prepared to go to court to expose us if I must. I simply hope that will not be necessary, and that you and I can come to a compromise. Think of how it felt when your heart broke, how easily that could happen, and how debilitating heartbreak can be. This town is as fragile as a heart, and it feels the strain of jealousy and mistrust. Like a heart, after just one break or crack, it takes time and care to make the town whole again. As loathe as I am to admit to my selfishness, I must disclose that I do not wish to tarnish my reputation. Abigail, it is absolutely imperative that you reveal your lies because, if you do not, countless innocents will die and mistrust will thrive.
Throughout the stories told in both Mohawk Saint and The Unredeemed Captive, the unintended consequences of attempting to convert the American Indians to Christianity are powerful players in the unfolding events. When these Christian groups arrived in the New World, they came armed with the word of God that they wished to share among a group of people that have never before encountered the concept of Christianity. While eventually these relationships improved and Christians and American Indians began to have closer contact, there were still results from the conversion process that no one could have expected when the progress had started. In both of these stories, the unintended consequences of the encounters between Christian religious and

Patrick Henry: The Trumpet of the Revolution.

When people think of Central Park, the thought of African-Americans once owning the land is inconceivable. Yet, this was the case 150 years ago when there once thrived a place called Seneca Village.
In the early 1800's, many of the women in the United States were plain and simple getting fed up with their lack of writes. Men had dominated everything in the past and they were still continuing to do so. Women were finally ready to come forward and voice their opinions about how men and women are created equal. It was now time for women to go out and become what ever they want to be and not have to worry about the fact that they are females. The Seneca Falls Convention would soon be one of the biggest victories for women's rights.
The Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments is very similar to the Declaration of Independence. This is because they are both lists of problems written by people who wanted to change something about the United States. The Declaration of Independence was explaining to the British government why the United States colonists wanted their independence from their government. The Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments is a list of the problems women have with the way that they are being treated. Both of these were written to try and make a change for the better. The first of the line in the Declaration of Sentiments is “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal”. While the first line in the Declaration of Independence
Finally, goes a man by the name of Daniel Webster. Mr Webster was from New England and gave “7th of March Speech” and called for the north to support the Fugitive Slave Law and to compromise.
Authority is important for any leader or government, because that is how decisions are accepted as right. Sovereignty is the recognition by other states that one government has the authority to control a certain territory. As well as the acceptance of rule by the people
