Mini Arguements « Thread Started on Feb 8, 2004, 3:08pm »
Mini Arguement#1 Atrocious, ghastly, and lurid injustice were committed against American Indians by the U.S. government during Westward expansion of the United States. Jim Carnes (1995) indicates that the government doesn’t care about the Indians except their land “In the 1830s, the government systematically removing all Native Americans from the Eastern U.S.” (p.16). In mid-May 1830 it also designate how Andrew Jackson is a manifest destiny who is greedy for land “Congress gave Andrew Jackson his wish by passing the Indian removal act” (p.17). The government no longer desire to coexist with the Indians.
Mini Arguement#2 The Cherokees struggled against persecution, aggrieve during the 19th century. Jim Carnes (1995) explicate why Indians were made to sign treaties “In treaty after treaty, they exchanged one more piece of land for one more promise of respect and coexistence” (p.16). Carnes (1995) evoke Indians were hassle because they couldn’t read English “Ironically, many white harassed Indians who couldn’t read the English section of the Cherokee newspaper” (p.16). Carnes (1995) explains that the government policy towards Indians were awful “Government policy back then towards the Indians Amounted to war strategy was divide and conquer land” (p.1).

Intolerant injustices had committed against American Indians during the impetuous westward expansion. In 1830, the government kept on removing all Native Americans from Eastern US to the west. Jim Carne (1995) implies that, “the tribes were corralled inside the fixed borders of reservation - mostly barren patches of land that the whites hadn’t yet found a use for.”(p.?) The government no longer desires to coexist with the Indians.
Many Indians like Sitting Bull, a notorious Native American leader, have done abundant amounts of things that helped the oppressed Native Americans from the obnoxious whites. Carne noted that, “Sitting Bull earned membership in the elite Strong Heart Society of warriors before he turned 17. He later became a society’s leader.”(p.?) Carne also explained, “He led the Sioux who refused to sign a treaty confining the tribe to a reservation.”(p.?) Sitting Bull did things to raise the hopes of his people. Carne added, “He invited some Sioux to teach the Ghost Dance so it would give at least something to hope for.”(p.?)

The United States government discriminated and oppressed the Native Americans. The Native Americans would have to face consequences for trying to fight back. United States would trade the Native Americans a promise of respect for a piece of land. During the Revolutionary War, Cherokees were afraid that Americans would take over their land so they took the side of the British. Nearly 100,000 Native Americans from the five southeastern tribes would take over their land so they took the side of the British.
The Sioux and Sitting Bull were discriminated by the whites and evil laws were based on them. The Cherokees had to face the Trail of Tears. The U.S government wanted to kick the Sioux off their own land. They wanted the Cherokees out of their land. Sitting Bull was shot in the head by a policeman. It caused the Massacre at Wounded Knee Creek. The Sioux tribes were killed in Wounded Knee Creek. Innocent women and children were being killed.

Mini Argument #1 There were great injustices done at Wounded Knee Creek. The Native Americans went to Wounded Knee to surrender but they were later killed. 290 Sioux were killed during the battle at Wounde Knee Creek. But only a few of the white men were killed. "When the guns went silent, the soldiers removed their own 25 dead. A blizzard that night laid a clean blanket over the corpses of 290 Sioux." Natives were killed in their blankets, tepees and those who were running from the scene of fighting. Innocent people were killed just becaose of a gunshot that was led off accidnetally. "The single gunshot set the soldiers in motion." Mini Argument #2 One of the many injustices that were committed against American Indians during the westward expansion of the United States was the Trail of Tears. They were forced out of their land. Many of them were forced to sign a treaty. They weren't allowed to hunt buffalos and were put into reservations. They were slaughtered if they didn't do their job and they were sometimes killed.

THESIS Cultural Stereotypes were used to justify official mistreatment of American Indians from 1830's through the early 1900's. THe United States could've approached territorial expansion differently, in a way that recognized the equality and humanity of the Indians. One of the many injustices that was committed against American Indians during the westward expansion of the United States was the Trail of Tears. There was great injustice done at Wounded Knee Creek. The U.S. government could have appraoched territorial expansion differently by giving the American Indians a choice of leaving the land other than pushing them out of it. Many people were trying to make a difference in the way that the Native Americans lived. Native Americans were discriminated and they shouldn't have been treated the way they were treated.
