I am pro-Cavalry. To me they represent strength, gallantry, and savior of the oppressed. The film, Trail of Tears, and the lecture taught me a different side of the US Cavalry. My thought of them as defender for those who cannot defend themselves became blurry. Maybe, as soldiers, who sworn an oath to obey the President of the United State, they were following orders.

Every place holds memories from people that contains a certain emotion, or experience that makes up the individual’s self identity. For some, the Adams County Fairgrounds is a park whose exterior is nothing more than two lakes, dirt trails, lots of open green fields, and small buildings on the side of it. For them, it is another sight to see on their way to and from their desired destination. For me, however, it is a place that holds my self confidence, friendships, and beauty. Four years ago
impacted by the historic events of Andrew Jackson being elected president, Gold Rush, and the stereotype of the indian nation being savages. The Cherokee nation is very overlooked and stepped on. Georgia's gold rush was a big event that lead to the Trail of Tears.

cold hearted killer ANDREW JACKSON! Who is this man Andrew Jackson? Well you may have heard of him from his infamous role in the trail of tears. What is the trail of tears you may ask? Well it was a horrible period in time when Indian tribes were forced from their homeland but I do not want to go into that right now because I am not writing a paper on the Trail of tears, I am writing about the man Andrew Jackson! So lets do this thing. Lets begin at the beginning; Andrew Jackson was born on the fifteenth
In your opinion, what significance does this obscure battle have in the expansion of the United States? The battle of horseshoe was the catalyst of western expansion. The Indians occupied southern and western territories. Some land given by the US Government others have been occupied for centuries by the Indians. Compounding the situation, Indians considered certain areas as sacred and holy. The massacres (Fort Mims near Mobile, Alabama) at the hand of Red Stick Indians desensitized people to
in many ways. Jackson was represented as a villain because of his work against violating rules and hurting many people by his actions on trying to veto the constitution and taking control over the national bank. Also, Jackson was apart of the Trail of Tears because of many Indians being migrated to the west and he ignored the Supreme Court. Jackson viewed himself as a hero for multiple reasons.

Ethnography Works Cited Missing Reflexivity is a qualitative method of research that takes an ethnography one step further, displaying the personal thoughts and reflections of the anthropologist on his informants.

Take an event in American History from 1800-1970, one that is small enough to paste onto a ream paper box, and make a presentation worthy of a museum in the span of 25 days. Events like the moon landing, Trail of Tears, and fall of the Alamo could prove a meaningful topic.
