Why is it important for the authors to make distinctions between the educational experiences of American Indian children and the experiences of white children? The schools were intended as an alternative to the out-right extermination seriously advocated by Generals Sherman and Sheridan(Rothenberg & Mayhew, 2014). The author also compared the Indian children’s experience to Nazi concentration camps. Thus when evaluating the Psychological experience of the Indian children, the only reference was those of experiences of white children. Again the text reads, “ difference if from ours- the shock to the child upon arrival is still tremendous.”(Rothenberg & Mayhew, 2014)…
The invading Spanish were able to commit terrible acts against the natives because they were very different than them. The natives worshiped different gods, they wore different garb, and they spoke a different language. It was these differences that helped the Spanish justify their violence. Because these people did not conduct themselves like the Spanish did, they did not consider them their equals. When the invaders were committing acts of savagery, they did not believe they were harming human beings. They thought they were harming savages. With this mindset, the Spanish had absolutely no qualms about the crimes the natives…

In this video, I learned that the white Americans who were colonizing America saw the Indians differently from themselves. They stereotyped all Indians as savage and uncivilized things. They used these stereotypes because they were unfamiliar with Indian culture. The Europeans were afraid of tthe Indians and as a result of their Ignorance, they tried to kill them off, assimilatet them, and move them off the land. Since they viewed them as unequals due to their skin tone, it was justification for all the wrong ways the Europeans treated the…

Unfortunately, despite how precisely Indians followed white men’s laws and requirements, the Indian Removal would have eventually transpired. The Five Civilized Tribes shed their Indian traditions and culture to take on the Americans way of life. Indians not only adopted principles in government and agriculture, but also religiously. Despite all of this, whites still wanted to kick Indians out of their lands in order to bring profit to themselves. Even the national government could not terminate the Indian Removal. Through both the United States Constitution and Worcester v. Georgia, the national government declared that states could not operate the removal of Indians. All of this, illustrates the inhumanity and lack of compassion whites had…
In the past, the expression of all of the Indian’s resistance was seen as rebellious and deemed as imprudent choices. Now after full consideration, one can see that that was their only way out, and how anything other than rebellious acts would have just lead to greater and greater events of violence inflicted upon them. Therefore, the conclusions behind Indian’s reasoning’s have changed over time to the point where now it is understandable why they reacted and tried to put a stop to the abuse before it got…
The primary reason for the Indian Removal Act of 1830 was that the white settlers of this country discovered gold in the northern part of Georgia and became hungry for more land. This brought about a gold rush to most of the state and gave president Jackson a reason to push the Indians out of the area in order for more white Americans could come to Georgia (A Brief Histroy). President Jackson also felt a need to protect the United states from threats on the inside of our country in reference he was speaking about the Indians that lived in our country (Prucha, 528). After the American Revolution, the Americans wanted to act civilly toward the Indians and turn over a new leaf by trying to get along with and help the Indians. The Cherokee…
The practice of turning the Jews against each other in the concentration camps actually started with the Americans using the tactic on the Native Americans in the prison camps. In addition, Native Americans were given a number when they entered the reservations and were only recognized by that number by the government. However, reservation would not be the correct term since the Native Americans were not allowed to leave.…
