The Cayuse killed Marcus and his wife and took many men ,women ,and children hostage. This lead

to a series of conflicts between natives and white settlers.

The main reason why the conflict started was that both peoples thought they were superior then the

other. The white settlers thought the Cayuse were a savage people and came so that they could turn

them into civilised Christians and the Cayuse thought the white settlers were their to wipe them out

    Black R.

    As the Frenchman once said, “look at him, dressed like a savage chieftain. We're not colonizing the Indians; they're colonizing us.” Europeans thought of the Indigenous as savage people. Their first impressions of them made many want to tame them and teach them the European way of life so that they could become a part of their society and share what land and possessions they have. The Indigenous thought of the Europeans as the enemy of the world. They do not understand nature and seem like demons that just want to destroy and conquer. The natives were also not a united people. Any group of Indians associating with the French became a threat to other Indian groups, and many Indians would kill a European before helping them. The Algonquin Indians were more tolerant of helping the French priest named Laforgue on his mission while, the Montagnais and Iroquois would be the first to kill and torture him. The Huron’s were accepting of Christianity in the end of the mission. Even though the Algonquin did not trust the French they would become tolerant and help them and keep their word to Champlain, and over time they became more accepting to French culture and ideas of Christianity, but some still thought of the French as demons.…

    Walt Whitman Paper

    Walter Whitman was an American poet, essayist, journalist, and humanist. He was a part of the transition between Transcendentalism and realism, incorporating both views in his works. Whitman is among the most influential poets in the American canon, often called the father of free verse. His work was very controversial in its time, particularly his poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was described as obscene for its overt sexuality. Born on Long Island, Whitman worked as a journalist, a teacher, a government clerk, and a volunteer nurse during the American Civil War in addition to publishing his poetry. Early in his career, he also produced a temperance novel, Franklin Evans (1842). Whitman's major work, Leaves of Grass, was first published in 1855 with his own money. The work was an attempt at reaching out to the common person with an American epic. He continued expanding and revising it until his death in 1892. After a stroke towards the end of his life, he moved to Camden, New Jersey where his health further declined. He died at age 72 and his funeral became a public spectacle. Whitman's sexuality is often discussed alongside his poetry. Though biographers continue to debate his sexuality, he is usually described as either homosexual or bisexual in his feelings and attractions. However, there is disagreement among biographers as to whether Whitman had actual sexual experiences with men. Whitman was concerned with politics throughout his life. He supported the Wilmot Proviso and opposed the extension of slavery generally. His poetry presented an egalitarian view of the races, and at one point he called for the abolition of slavery, but later he saw the abolitionist movement as a threat to democracy.…

    Why Did The Arab Israeli Conflict Start

    What is actually the main reason why the Arab-Israeli conflict started? My opinion is that the British started the Arab Israeli conflict by making promises over the land that the Jews and the Arabs both owned. My opinion is that I think it's very unfair of the British to make such promised. I find it unrespect full and injustice to start this conflict between Palestine and Israel. I think this is unfair because the Jewish and Palestinian both owned this country once and the British thought they could just give it away.…

    Walt Whitman is thus of the first generation of Americans who were born in the newly formed United States and grew up assuming the stable existence of the new country. Pride in the emergent nation was rampant, and Walter Sr.—after giving his first son Jesse (1818-1870) his own father’s name, his second son his own name, his daughter Mary (1822-1899) the name of Walt’s maternal great grandmothers, and his daughter Hannah (1823-1908) the name of his own mother—turned to the heroes of the Revolution and t he War of 1812 for the names of his other three sons: Andrew Jackson Whitman (1827-1863), George…
