    In his message, “On Indian Removal”, Andrew Jackson uses the term “savages” to refer to the Native Americans. It is very obvious that the word “savage” is used as a derogatory term towards the native Americans. This contributes to the tone of the message as a whole because Jackson is convincing the Congress that the removal of the Native Americans is positive for white men and woman. In “Samuel’s Memory”, Michael Rutledge uses the term “whites” to refer to the white soldiers that were sent to remove the tribes from their land.…

    When thinking about the Social History involved in Dispossessing the Wilderness, the Civil war comes to mind up. Spencer writes that prior to the war the Americans and Indians tensions were okay. The Americans saw Indians and the wilderness as one. He mentions that it wasn’t until “after” the civil war started that the Americans and Indians tensions rose. This was due to many numerous frontier battles that occurred along the great western planes. It was after this time that the Americans started to view the Indians as “evil savages”. Here we are introduced to the concept of perception and how that alters social history.…

    Columbus trivialized the natives of the land by convincing himself that they were a simple people because they didn't wear clothes and most of them painted themselves different colors. As Sale wrote, "Colon immediately presumed the inferiority of the natives, not merely because they were naked, but because they seemed to be so technologically backwards." Columbus was proven right of his assumption when he introduced the natives to weapons as he said, "They bear no arms, nor are they acquainted with them, for I showed them sword and they grasped them by the blade and cut themselves through ignorance." They had no possessions of any kind and lacked a coherent language, thus as Columbus had previously assumed, they were…

    Columbus treated the Native Americans intolerably when he arrived to the New World. Upon arrival, his plan was for him and his crew to exasperate, ravage, kill, mangle, and destroy the Natives, as well as acquire gold from their king (Document 7). He and his crew committed harrowing crimes against the Indians that were irreversible and deadly. He forcefully made Natives strip mountains top to bottom, split rocks, move stones, and carry dirt to the rivers to be panned out for gold; this put great pain into the Natives lives. Also, Columbus ordered for the Natives to carry him and his…

    Granted Ben Franklin meant well when writing the "Remarks Concerning the Savages of North America", it was not always taken that way. At first glimpse he makes it seem like he agrees with what the "white people" were saying about the Indians, but that was not the case. He suggests that the Native Americans should not have been treated so bad because they did not practice the same civility as others. Ben Franklin also thought that the Native Americans should have been welcomed instead of made fun and treated like circus clowns. He also treated them in a favorable light by opening his mind to their culture. On the other hand John Smith treated them in a negative light by thinking of them as slaves. He used the Native Americans, and not just for work but for supplies and shelter. He would tell them he would give them copper and other things in return for their labor. If you really look closely at how John Smith treated them you would see how history is repeating itself today.…

    First, we can see his Native American heritage in the language of the poem. For example, he refers to the elderly woman whom he is conversing with as "white" (line 1), which gives the impression he is not; there would be no real reason of mentioning skin color unless it was important to him. He is also very negative about the white woman's definition of history. The woman says, "'Look, / look at all the history,…
