The History Of Art In Nebraska And The Great Plains

Living on the Great Plains was not an easy task to accomplish for homesteaders who want to settle there. You had to worry about the extreme temperature and weather, the lack of water, and the lack of building materials. For me, the most difficult thing to deal with for homesteaders on the Great Plains was the lack of water.

How does Turner explain the recurring need for communication and transportation along the American frontier?

The 1920s were a time of great prosperity and revitalization. This decade gave way to many great social milestones for every class of people. From the limits for immigration to the boom of the auto industry American society was drastically altered. Issues such as foreign immigration,prohibition, the Ku Klux Klan ,evolution, women’s roles, and race were the focus of the populus and drove politics within the nation. Art played a major role in how the black community expressed their new found sense of culture. Painting has always been a way for someone to portrait their ideas.

"The Frontier in American History" was one of the most famous essays by Frederick Turner in the nineteenth century. In this essay, Turner expressed his thoughts about how the frontier set up and created unique American characteristics. He explained the idea of American exceptionalism, which states that America is different than other nations in the world. The development of America included many significant events, and our nation 's identity was made up by many factors, not just only the frontier. Nowadays, the America defines itself as a large and powerful country in the world. We are all proud to be an American. Thus, the stress on a distinct national identity is appropriate within an increasingly diverse nation-state and an ever globalizing world.

The 1880s proved to be a time of change for America. High unemployment rates and low wages in many cities forced many to look to new opportunities in cities and elsewhere. This included the newly expanded west. In the 1880s Kansas had three dominating groups- railroad companies, farmers, and cowboys. All three dealt with individual triumphs and struggles when developing the West and specifically Kansas in the later part of the 19th century. Railroads spent most of the 1880s concerned with previous legislation, farmers worried about land allotment and surviving on the Plains. Cowboys also worried about land allotment and surviving. The worries of the last two created some tension between them but in the end survival of one depended on the

Numerous individuals can contend that the primary driver of the Common War was the Kansas-Nebraska Act, The Missouri Bargain, or even the Trade off of 1850. There are an inexhaustible measure of reasons that individuals can contend how the Common War was begun. What a great many people don 't comprehend, that a large portion of the occasions paving the way to the Common War that individuals banter on, were identified with subjection. Subjugation is the act of, or a framework in light of, utilizing the authorized work of other individuals (for this situation the "other individuals" were African-Americans). At the season of the Common War, the Abolitionists (the general population that needed to end subjection most were in the north) had numerous contentions with the South (who favored bondage). These contentions, for example, the Fringe War and John Cocoa 's Attack, made the North and the South have rough demeanors toward each other. And afterward the "inconvenience that makes the whole situation too much to bear" impact came into spot, and the North and the South in the long run announced war against each other. The primary driver of the Common War was servitude as appeared by the Outskirt War, John Cocoa 's Assault, and the novel Uncle Tom 's Lodge by Harriet Beecher.

Watching Louis Armstrong’s live performance in Berlin during the year 1965 was a pleasure, especially because I am a great fan of his music. Throughout the concert in Berlin, Armstrong and his chamber orchestra played 13 different pieces. With the exception of Jewel Woods’ entrance on vocals for two songs, the makeup of the chamber orchestra did not change throughout the concert. As a result, the cello, clarinet, drums, piano, trombone, and trumpet remained vital parts of each song throughout the concert.

Over the course of history, the arts have played an important role in aspects of people’s lives. More specifically, music is something that has been around for centuries and will continue to play a part in shaping people into who they are.

It is believable that John Vanderlyn, in his painting Landing of Columbus, was trying to portray the success of Columbus and his crew. Columbus heroic stance and elegant expression are made all the more impressive in comparison to the native people who witness the event. The Native Americans are naked, fearful or subservient, bowing down before the explorer in awe and reverence. The symbols of empire are shown in the heroic explorer with his Christian crosses and steel swords symbolizing the significance in the power of civilization. In 1836 of June, Congress had commissioned John Vanderlyn to paint the Landing of Columbus. About eleven years later the painting was

Have you ever been to Iowa State University and seen all of the magnificent art that is located on campus? Iowa State is home to one of the largest campus public art collections in the United States.

In the small farming community of Goodland, Kansas, stands the High Plains Museum. The High Plains museum offers numerous exhibits on the prairie life and the life of a Kansas homesteader throughout each era displayed. Out of all the exhibits to see, the Pioneer exhibit, the Dust Bowl Years exhibit, and the Purvis and Wilson helicopter exhibit make this museum particularly intriguing.

Crash! Boom! Terrified screams and rifle shots filled the air as Margaret snatched up her baby sister into her arms as she ran around frantically in search of shelter. Finally finding a safe hiding spot behind a large rock, Margaret and her little sister watched in desperation as their small shack was ransacked by John Brown and his raiders. As the sky grew black with smoke, angry tears began streaming down Margaret’s face. Why can’t the anti-slavery settlers just leave us alone? Why are they being so violent? What have we done to them? All we want is land to settle on! Margaret wondered in disheartenment. For settlers who had rushed to claim land in Kansas and Nebraska in the stormy 1850’s, facing violent clashes had become a daily

Kansas City developed a vibrant music scene in the 1920’s because of its territory bands, and unique music style. Many musicians of Kansas City were in territory bands, and since these bands traveled so frequently, they picked up musical styles from the places they traveled and also had a repertoire of over 200 songs that were full of styles ranging from polka to country music.

Appalachian music changed after the 1920’s to more of what those outside Appalachian music liked about the music. Appalachian music was no longer the name for the music of this area and Hillbilly music came about for the commercial spread of Appalachian music (Malone, 1994). With the commercial spread of Appalachian music as Hillbilly music gave a way for the music to transform and continue to make new songs (Malone,
