Lowe 1 Lyric Lowe Professor Veraluz History 2010 29 August 2017 Document 3.2 Negotiation There are some cases in life where you have to give to get. It is also better known as negotiation. When there is something you want or need it will not be done or given to you easily. It requires sacrifice and sometimes abiding to the rules just get the right result. The Tuscaroras had to abide by the rules of the British, they did endure pain but I believe the Tuscaroras got what they deserved. In the late seventeenth century, a southern tribe by the name of Tuscaroras started war between their own people for multiple reasons. They felt they had to be the strongest but with every tribe there are strengths and weaknesses. Tuscaroras strength consists of having gained European goods, they also had guns as well. The weakness began with the Indian captives in …show more content…
This to me made them appear to be powerful and can stand on their own because the war resulted in hundreds of settlers were killed while hundreds more fled. Although Tuscaroras excelled in their attack it only made Indian allies among the Yamasee, Catawba and Cherokee nations to join forces. Once the enemies joined forces it resulted in the Tuscaroras having to give in by signing a peace treaty and forfeiting their lands. I believe this is when they began to face certain challenges. Tuscaroras now had to make peace with their own people and break off hostilities. As document 3.2 states “Confirm the sincerity of their past Carriage towards the English, & to raise in us a good opinion of them.” This excerpt is how I feel it should have went based on what Tuscaroras had done. From what I interpreted the Tuscaroras had been given what they deserved. Instead of sacrificing and becoming allies and not having to forfeit their land they decided to try and conquer all but fell
Native Americans used various forms of Guerilla warfare such as tactics, weather, and terrain to their advantage when facing United States (U.S.) Military. Guerilla warfare is a form of tactics used by an adversary against prodigious conventional military force. The disadvantages in numbers, tactics, and weapons systems would encourage significant failures in facing such a powerful enemy in open battle. The U.S. Military after the civil war confronted this new way of fighting for the first time within the western territories. The uprising by the Indians indicated that the Military leadership viewed the Native Americans as savages and did not recognize the underlying culture differences of the Indians. Another contributing factor in a prolonged war understanding the weather and terrain and how their inadequate preparations to fight this new form of war against the Indians in battle. During the American Indian Wars, the United States military employed different strategies, weaponry, and additional forces appropriate to force the American Indians to negotiations. However, this did not end the war quickly but provided an advantage for Military forces in obtaining the upper hand over the Indian and their Guerilla tactics. The effects of culture, terrain, weather, and tactics encountered during the American Indian Wars hindered U.S. forces in defeating the American Indians.
Sauguarrum’s testimony on the negotiations reveals that the English had twisted what the Penobscot leader had said to the English. Firstly, Sauguarrum talked personally to an English man about the structure of the treaty and what will be addressed. However, the answers he gave to the English never showed up in the treaty. For example, Sauguarrum did acknowledge the English king, but did not see King George as his own king. Also, during the negotiations, the English allowed the Indian chiefs to decide on justice if any quarrels occurred between the two parties, but in the treaty, King George and the English get to decide the punishment. This account of the negotiations leading up to the treaty reveal that the English intentionally changed the language in treaty to give English complete control over the Abenaki Indians. The first-hand account of the negotiations also reveals that there were complications ...
Most times the cause of this fighting was that Europeans were taking over land that was not rightfully theirs. The Natives often lost these battles because their weapons and tactics were not as advanced as the Europeans. Therefore, the large number of deaths in battles caused a change in the Native’s population. To add, when the Europeans first arrived in the Americas they established a new economic system called the encomienda system. The encomienda system was a system of forced labor in which Native Americans worked on Spanish-owned estates.

Tecumseh ,Shawnee war chief, was born at Old Piqua, on the Mad River in western Ohio. In 1774, his father, Puckeshinwa, was killed at the Battle of Point Pleasant, and in 1779 his mother, Methoataske, accompanied those Shawnees who migrated to Missouri, later died. Raised by an older sister, Tecumpease, Tecumseh would play war games with other fellow youths in his tribe. Tecumseh accompanied an older brother, Chiksika, on a series of raids against frontier settlements in Kentucky and Tennessee in the late 1780’s. Chiksika had a vision that he would not survive the battle at Buchanan’s station he went ahead as plan and attacked the stockade and was mortally wounded and was carried from the battle field and the dying warrior asked not to be buried but to be placed on a hill. Tecumseh and the other’s retreated back to a Cherokee village where most went back to Ohio while Tecumseh and some other warriors stayed behind. After that Tecumseh went on mostly hunting but occasionally attacking settler’s. After that moved back towards home and come to find out that the Shawnee’s had moved on to where it’s much safer. The battle of Fallen Timber’s broke confidence in British assistance as well as many casualties. Pissed off by the Indian defeat, he refused to sign the Treaty of Greenville (1795). In the 1800’s Tecumseh began to show signs of a prominent war chief. He led a group of yong Indian warriors to a village on the White River in east-central Indiana. There in 1805 Lalawethika ex...
The Battle of Tippecanoe was fought during the early morning hours of November 7, 1811, on a tree-covered knoll just outside of modern day Prophetstown, Indiana. American forces, under the command of William Henry Harrison, were attacked by a band of Indian tribes unified by the Shawnee leader Tecumseh. A relatively minor battle, in comparison to others remembered in American History, this small battle proved to play a significant role in the shaping of the newly formed country. Debatable among historians regarding the constructive effects of the battle against its negative repercussions , its importance is unmistakable. Ultimately, the results of this day would bring to an end any prospect for a United Indian Confederation, and never again would the Native Americans be able to effectively challenge American expansion.
The leaders’ inability to act for the overall well being of their tribe cost the Cherokee supplies, land, and most importantly lives. In a huge sense, it was John Ross being jokingly overambitious during his negotiations with the President that caused a lot of their pain and suffering. He also was the main voice behind trying to resist the government even after the two years was over, not to mention the whole two years they had to leave.
A great effect from the war was that colonists felt closer to each other more than ever, there was a common enemy and teaming up was necessary. The French and Indian war would essentially lay down the first solid foundation for the formulation of Nationalism’s ideas, when settlers had to get together in battle. Ironically, in the next era, they’d use these same ideas against the
The Cherokees were very civilized in dealing with the trails of removal. These people endured more than any other group of people throughout history. They played within the rules in their struggle. They did not want to start a war with the Americans. The Cherokees resisted removal and took it to court. Despite all of their tries to keep their land, they were removed.
...making and leadership. The Indian confederacy was no longer a unified front. However, in its stead were displaced, vengeful, and competent Indian warriors without the discipline of Tecumseh or the Prophet to keep them in check and stay their desires for vengeance.
Both the 1991 animated Disney movie, Beauty and the Beast, and the Indian folktale, The Tale of Tulisa, are examples of Aarne-Thompson Folktale Type 425. Despite their similar classification, both works follow relatively different plots because they are variations of the same Aarne-Thompson Folktale Type. In fact, Beauty and the Beast is specifically AT Tale Type 425C, while The Tale of Tulisa is AT Tale Type 425A. As subsets of “The Search for the Lost Husband,” the basic scheme involves a maiden who falls in love with a man who transforms into his monstrous form; however, this does not account for small details that set the two apart. From her father’s occupation to how Belle does not only see Beast at night, Beauty and the Beast proves
Immigrants took land illegally and crimes against Indians went unpunished. The Indians signed more treaties giving up most of their lands to the United States. With foreign tribesmen coming and settlers being angered a conference was conducted at Fort Greenville with Tecumseh as “principal speaker”. Settlers now occupied these lands, but the Indians did not want to give up their lands feeling that it was given to them by the master of life. Tecumseh agreed that the Greenville treaty line and other established boundaries and it should stand so the border could be used as a defense against further American
A number of factors led to the military's campaign against the Indians. Westward-bound settlers came into conflict with the nomadic tribes that claimed the buffalo plains as their homeland during the nineteenth century. To provide a measure of protection for these settlers, the Army established a series of frontier forts. The outbreak of the Civil War resulted in a withdrawal of the military from the western frontier. The Indians took advantage of the situation and aggressively exerted control over the Southern Plains. There was an outcry for the government to take action.
The Battle of Little Bighorn is one of the most significant battles in American history. This is not because of the weaponry used, the casualties, or even the battle strategies. This is because the battle is one of the only big battles that Native Americans won against the U.S. military. After this battle, the Native American power in the West ended. Ironically, by winning the Battle of Little Bighorn, the Sioux and Cheyenne actually sped up the downfall of Native American power.
The whole reason for going to war in this novel is because of the land issue. In the beginning of chapter two Umuaro decides to go to war against Okperi. British general T.K. Winterbottom steps in to try to solve the dispute between the two villages, but when Umuaro and its people refused to convert to the British ways, T.K. Winterbottom chooses to give the land to the people of Okperi. This also connects to the road building problem because Winterbottom takes the people of Umuaro who he did not like and who hurt him in the media, to work on the road and then did not pay them. Back to the land though, this is another view of the colonials getting themselves involved in things that only the natives should be involved in. There was no reason for Winterbottom to put himself between two native’s tribes when they had already had a plan to dissolve the matter; even if the plan was war.
