Sitting Bull's Stereotypes

Susan B. Anthony, a women’s rights supporter, knew exactly what she believed in. She stood firm for herself and her beliefs. She felt the need to represent other women in fighting for their rights. She fought for women by campaigning for women’s rights all around the nation. When male members of the movement refused to let her speak at rallies, simply because she was a woman, she realized that women had to win the right to speak in public and to vote

First and foremost, the fight for women’s rights is something that has occurred throughout time not only in the United States, but in every part of the world. When it comes to the United States, one cannot deny that it was an important historical event. “The struggle for women’s suffrage in the United States had occupied better part of a century” (Source 1). Truly a struggle, for it was not acknowledged by men in the past, primarily white man who had full rights in the nation. Susan B. Anthony was an important leading figure of the Suffrage Movement and contributed to the Suffrage Movement.

Martha Carrier, a supposed witch, was taken to trial on August 2, 1692. At the trial, there were five pieces of “evidence” that proved she was a witch. Martha Carrier had nine people testify against her in court. Furthermore, the nine people had no legitimate evidence, but rather spoke against her with irrational fears, logic defying acts, and unjust accusations. After reading the trial against Martha Carrier, it is easy to see the court was severely biased in their accusations. Unfortunately, Martha Carrier was found guilty of witchcraft and sentenced to death on August 19, 1692.

“It took 400 years after the declaration of independence was signed and 50 years after black men were given voting rights before women were treated as full American citizens and able to vote.” A women named Susan B. Anthony was one of those women struggling to be the same as mankind. Susan B. Anthony worked helped form women’s way to the 19th amendment. Anthony was denied an opportunity to speak at a convention because she was a woman. She then realized that no one would take females seriously unless they had the right to vote. Soon after that she became the founder of the National Woman Suffrage Association in 1869. In 1872, she voted in the presidential election illegally and then arrested with a hundred dollar fine she never paid.” I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand.”(Anthony) When Susan B. Anthony died on March 13, 1906, women still didn’t have the right to vote. 14 years after her death, the 19th amendment was passed. In honor of Anthony her portrait was put on one dollar coins in

Around the 1960s Sitting Bull was named chief and around that time gold was found in the on the Sioux land area called the black the Black Hills. The government found out about his gold and they wanted to buy the the land to land for the gold. The Sioux did not want to sell their land, this caused the government to send out soldiers and fight for the land.

Susan B. Anthony, an American women’s rights activist is one of the most famous women in American History. Susan B. Anthony was born on February 15, 1820 in Adams, Massachusetts and passed away March 13, 1906 due to pneumonia and heart failure. She had 8 brothers and sisters. When her family moved to Battenville, New York, she became homeschooled. She is most famous for her prominent role in the women’s suffrage movement pushing the 19th Amendment that gave women the right to vote, but she has numerous additional accomplishments including: founding the National Woman’s Suffrage Association (NWSA) in 1869, the International Council of Women in 1888, and the International Woman Suffrage Council in 1904, publishing “The Revolution”, wrote the Susan B. Anthony Amendment in 1878, which became the 19th Amendment to give women the right to vote, first person to be arrested for illegally voting in a presidential and put on trial for voting, campaigning for women to learn self-reliance and self-confidence, the first women to appear on a U.S. coin. Anthony worked as a teacher in Canajoharie, New York and became involved in the teacher’s union where she discovered the inequality of male teachers salary versus

Anthony was insane for trying women equal but she always told herself that “[F]ailure was impossible” (qtd. in Matthews). Anthony registered to vote in Rochester and was charged $100 fine that she never paid, “[I]n 1872 after concluding that nothing in the Constitution specifically prohibited women from voting” (Susan B. Anthony). She refused to pay because it wasn’t fair that men got to vote but women didn’t. What made men more important than women? “Some saw no point in women voting; with no understanding of politics, they would only vote as their menfolk told them” (Lavender, William, and Mary). This is why people insulted and made fun of her, she believed in something not very many other people did. She needed to get men to agree with her. When Susan B. Anthony began the women’s suffrage movement “...women had few legal rights. [T]oday women have opportunities for higher education, the privilege of working at almost any occupation, the right to control or own property and children, the right to hold public office, and the right to vote” (Susan B.. Anthony). Through Susan Anthony’s hard work, efforts, and dedication she helped the world of women better. She knew that women were capable of things that nobody else thought we were able to do. Anthony never got to see the ratification of the 19th Amendment, because it took a century to get the world to agree with her. Before this happened, she wanted to get black men out of slavery so more people would start to like

In attempt to be able to change laws and allowing the married women to own their own property, Stanton gave some public speeches and had spoken to members of the New York Legislature. The Women’s rights convention was on july 19th-20th and was located in Seneca Falls, New York (Adams, Page 17). At Least 40 of the 300 people that had attended this, were none other than men (Adams, Page 17). One of those men was Frederick Douglas, Douglas was a former slave and an abolitionist. He was with the argument to give women the rights that they needed. He had stated that “without women, they would have no way of protecting their rights or to make changes in the laws (Adams, Page 17).” Sixty-eight women and thirty-two men had signed the declaration at the end of the convention (Adams, Page 17). Susan B. Anthony kept the women’s movement moving the right direction. Anthony also went around the country giving speeches that were written by Stanton. She was a very dedicated person when it came to problems like this.

Anthony, who never married, spent more than 50 years of her life fighting for women’s equality rights and right to vote, and African American rights. She gave speeches, published a feminist newspaper, petitioned Congress and state legislatures, and supported African American rights. Susan B. Anthony died 14 years before adult women over 21 were given the right to vote

Around 1831, a child was born in Hunkpapa Lakota, a tribe of Sioux residing in Grand River known as present-day Dakota for a very long time. That child was named Jumping Badger by his family; however, because of quiet and , everyone called him “Slow” during the boyhood. At the age of 10, that young boy killed his first buffalo and gave meat away to elders who could not hunt anymore. The next four years, he joined his first war party and struck a Crow warrior with a tomahawk. Celebrating for the child’s bravery and equanimity, the father gave him a name as Tatanka Iyotanka, which meant Sitting Bull.

Sitting Bull (c.1831-1890) was the Native American chief under whom the Sioux tribes united in their struggle for survival on the North American Great Plains. After the discovery of gold in the Black Hills of South Dakota in 1874, the Sioux came into increased conflict with U.S. authorities. The Great Sioux wars of the 1870s would culminate in the 1876 Battle of the Little Bighorn, in which Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse and a confederation of tribes would defeat federal troops under George Armstrong Custer. After several years in Canada, Sitting Bull finally surrendered to U.S. forces with his people on the brink of starvation, and was finally forced to settle on a reservation. In 1890, Sitting Bull was shot and killed while being arrested by U.S.

On June 6, 1861 in a mountain, North of the Grand River a man and his crew were digging for gold. It was common for people to be look for gold because of the Gold Rush. The land they were in was a plan field near a mountain where there once used to be a field of buffalo . There was no buffalo because of the of the recent railroad construction. What also lead to the destruction of the land was the new people that started to moving into the indians territory. They started building new towns where rows of field used to be. This caused tension between the indians and the newly established people.

In 1874 gold was discovered in the Black Hills. President Grant was forced to make a harsh decision because the Black Hills were located in the Great Sioux Reservation that the Indians had gained under the Treaty of 1868. President Grant allowed miners to enter the Black Hills and insisted that this act would be legalized. Government attempted to acquire the Black Hills, where the gold was located however Sitting Bull was against the sale of the land. The Great War of Sioux 1876 resulted from a disagreement between miners and Indians. Miners had already begun to come to the Black Hills to mine for goal and the government allowed these things to happen. Because Sitting Bull and his army men were not sure of what would have happened when the white men entered they were forced to attack in fear. “They had not interfered with the gold rush, and although they had not signed the Treaty of 1868, in sanctioned their residence in the unceded territory” (Utley pg34). Sitting Bull gave orders to his young soldiers to harass whites at Yellowstone and in other areas all because he was trying to be proactive and attack them before they attacked him and his people. Sitting Bull was unaware that his actions were considered to be an improper thing to do. Because of the actions of Sitting Bull’s army, they were forced to leave the reservation or come face to face to the military. After all of these things occurred they were still naive to the fact that the Americans were trying to start a

For decades, the fight for women’s rights has been a constant struggle in a male-dominated American society. During the early 1800s, women's traditional roles included providing for the household, such as educating and raising their children. At this time, women were not given the right to own property or vote, and they had very minimal economic independence. However, throughout the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era, a time of business expansion and social reforms, the women’s civil rights movement had escalated due to the actions of many influential figures and reform groups. One of the most substantial women of the time was Susan B.Anthony, who led the National Woman Suffrage Association (often abbreviated as NWSA).
