During westward expansion many Native American Tribes were forced out of their homelands and moved into what was known as “Indian Territory” which is modern-day Oklahoma. The Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, and Creeks, known as the “five civilized tribes” and the Plains Indians, which had been relocated to the western part of the territory on land leased from the Five Civilized Tribes, were moved into this area. Many of these tribes were enemies and were now being forced to live next to each other, which was not easy. Because of this, the tribes struggled for power amongst themselves. Cherokee nation was usually most powerful but now they were having to learn to live in a western way which didn’t carry on their traditional activities.…

This paper represents a comparison between two different viewpoints of events that led up to the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. One perspective is represented by Van Hastings Garner who has a more harmonous intrepretiation. As opposed to Henry Warner Bowden who has a more adverse account of events. A more detailed account can be found in the book What Caused the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 by David J. Weber…
The Great Pueblo revolt of 1680 all started with the droughts of 1660 when the Southwest had severe drought that brought famine and disease. During this, hungry Apaches who couldn't find food on plains attacked the pueblos. This angered the people on the pueblos, but there new leader Pope', a mysterious medicine doctor, tried to keep the Indian beliefs around and resisted the Christian religion. The Spaniards hated this, so they captured his older brother. This enraged Pope' against the Spaniards so he held meetings to tell everybody that the Spaniards must leave. The Spaniards found out about this and arrested Pope, publicly flogged him and released him back to the pueblos. When he was captured, the pueblo people set fires in the Indian villages in New Mexico. To take care of the fires, the Spaniards sent troops to halt the ritual of setting the fires by pueblo people, and they arrested all of the medicine doctors, killing several of them. The people believed that the doctors protected them from evil, so all of the pueblo towns wanted to unite against the Spaniards. The group from the pueblos went to the governor of Santa Fe and told him that if the doctors that were imprisoned weren't released by sundown, all of the Spaniards in New Mexico would be killed. They released the prisoners because the Indians outnumber the Spaniards by a huge amount.…
The Spaniards allied with the Tlaxcalan indians and marched into Tenochtitlan. Montezuma welcomed in Quetzalcoatl’s men with open arms, but Hernan Cortes seized power of the empire by using Montezuma as a figurehead against his will, while Cortes made all the real decisions. Cortes acted as a secret leader until 1520, when events caused tension to escalate, and Cortes demanded Montezuma command his people obey the Spaniards. The Indians didn’t like this at all, and showered their leader in stones, he then went on to die days later in June of 1520. The spanish originally went to Mexico to search for land and gold, or other plunders because they had no prosperity back home in Spain. When they reached Mexico, they discovered the Aztec people and the native indians of the land, and decided to try to eliminate them and their ways (cannibalism, human sacrifices, etc. didn’t appeal to the Spanish, and they didn’t want people like that inhabiting the same land as…
Pope’s rebellion- took place in the late 17th century in what was at the time, the Spanish Southwest (Arizona, New Mexico, California...). The Spanish, continuing to search for precious metals to send back to Spain, used/enslaved the native peoples (in this case, the Pueblos in today's New Mexico area).…
The English and Spanish strategies at colonization in the late 1600’s were very different, resulting in very different outcomes. The English methods of displacement and extermination of the native populations led to wholesale destruction of the cultures targeted. On the other hand, the Spanish attempted to peacefully associate with the local populations. This lead to the creation of a hybrid culture of Spanish and Indian peoples. The birth of this new culture demonstrated the success the Spaniards had in the waning days of the century (Otermin, 2007).…
The Indians organized the Pueblo Revolt because they felt that they were being mistreated by the Spanish, they were given injuries by Francisco Xavier and Alonso Garcia and from some other sargentos, because they were being beat by them and they were also relieved of the possessions they had and also made them work with no form of compensation. Another action that the Indians made was to burn the churches and images and whatever was in them and they shouted that they had done this to claim that their god was no more and god’s mother was no more either and now only the Indian’s god…

What caused the Pueblo revolt of 1680? The answer to this question, with some basic research, can seem easy to answer at first. However the more this topic is examined the more difficult it is to answer this simple question. It is said that one of the main reasons the Spanish came to Mexico is the search for treasure and wealth. While on this mission for wealth, the Spaniards settled in land that was already occupied by Pueblo Indians in Northern Mexico. Later, the Spanish end up creating a pact with the Pueblo people. Eventually, the Spaniards used the Pueblo people as an advantage to use as a labor force and to spread Christianity. In Weber’s novel he compiles several different pieces of people’s work and bundles them into one unit while…

The revolution was in part caused by unfair land reform policies. One policy that caused outrage among the indigenous peoples was the Ley de Terrenos Baldios, which caused 50 million hectares of land to be taken from indigenous farmers. One reaction to this was revolutionary leader Zapata’s Plan de Ayala, which called for the redistribution of land. The Ley de Terrenos Baldios shows the government’s disregard for the importance of farmers’ lives, while Zapata’s plan shows the people’s recognition of the government’s mistreatment. Unfair land reform caused negative reactions toward the government. One of the main revolutionary leaders’ entire platform was dedicated to land reform, showing that unfair land reform was a cause for revolution.…
