    John L. O’Sullivan had said, “‘... our manifest destiny to overspread the continent allotted by Providence for the free development of our yearly multiplying millions.’” (www.britanica.com) During Andrew Jackson’s term, America had set its sights on the untamed West - which, inconveniently, happened to be the Indians’ territory. President Jackson decided to create a controversial treaty that would allow America to exchange the Indians’ land for a large piece of land in the Louisiana Territory. It was created on May 28, 1830 and sparked much criticism and support throughout the nation. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was justified because the Indians were enemies of America, they were given good land, and they were offered the government’s protection.…

    The Native American Indians and the white settlers that eventually kicked the Indians off their lands quite obviously did not share the same idea of what it meant to own an area of land. The Native Americans viewed the land that they lived on as sacred, spiritual, even religious. The white settlers who forced them away from their homes, however, did not have this same concept of the land that they chose to live on; these people viewed land as a way to make money or as another pillar of their personal wealth.…

    The European desire for capital was socially disastrous because they implemented the strategy of divide and conquer within the Native American and African-origin peoples. Hartman quotes Walter Rodney in saying “There was in existence a fundamental class contradiction between the ruling nobility and the commoners; and the ruling classes joined hands with the Europeans in exploiting the African masses” (Hartman 31). Indeed, the Europeans’ entitlement made them foreign to the idea of family and ultimately led to a divided Africa nation. In Lose Your Mother, an elder of the Akan people reflected on his merchant life and said “The desire we have for your fascinating goods and your brandy, bring it to pass that one brother cannot trust the other,…
