    I chose to summarize the speech of Shawnee Chief Tecumseh’s address to General William Henry Harrison. Chief Tecumseh starts his speech by addressing what type of person he is and who he has made himself to by. He is speaking to General Harrison about the division, loss, and sale or Indian lands. He believes the land is provided for everyone not for division among men. He warns of the trouble to be foreseen if village chiefs are continued to be destroyed and the war it will create between the different tribes and the unknown consequences for white people. If boundaries are crossed and the land is not given back it will produce great trouble between the Indians and white people. He asks for pity to be taken upon the red people and explains…

    I have to say while reading about Tecumseh: Speech to the Osages it was very interesting to hear his point of view about a lot of things back then. And I like how he addressed everyone as brothers because what I get from the reading is that we are all equal no matter how we look. And they were saying that back then the white men were weak not very strong and the Indians help them and no they want to kill them instead of thanking them for what they did for them when they were down on their feet. All they want is peace they don’t want to be bothered. We have all come a long way.…

    Not only did the Europeans come to rule the land and perhaps take over Indians; but they never wanted to compromise with the Indians which made it extremely hard for either of the cultures to truly see eye-to-eye. To me, the Indians seemed as if they were willing to work out some negotiations even if it was “unjust” to their culture. However, the Europeans showed no signs of compromise with the Indians. The Europeans were immigrants to the land yet wanted all their rulings to control the land. It would be very hard for me to picture the two getting along for quite a while.…

    The British set up good things like railways, roads, and canals used for transportation, however, they also caused the Indians to lose control of their economy. The British caused Indians to have no control over their own taxation (Doc. 2). Without this control, the Indians didn’t have a voice and were overpowered by the British. Along with losing control of taxation, the Indians were forced to grow cash crops like indigo instead of natural resources. Growing cotton, indigo, and tobacco caused the land to degrade and become unfit for growing other crops which led to a famine (Doc. 6). Also, they weren’t allowed to sell the crops for money, and all of the money made went to the British. Being unable to control their own taxation and the types of crops they grew shows us that the British had a negative economic impact over India because they didn’t allow them to take on much…

    Cohen makes a good case against the hypocritical reasons that the British gave for their treatment of the Native Americans. First, the British did not value the civilization they thrust themselves upon even though it had been successful for thousands of years. The "new world" was not technologically advanced like many European inventions such as the globe, and the black powder weapon; which gave the British the idea that their superior knowledge made them worth more as human beings. Submission to their rule was only alternative for Native Americans. Failing that, then force and treachery were a way to handle the "savages".…

    The Seneca orator known as Red Jacket, for the red jacket the British Awarded to him for his services as a message runner during the Revolutionary War and Benjamin Franklin both made very valid point in their speeches. The Indians had a very peaceful way of life. They had their own governing and civility system and they taught their young the way of their ancestors, never taking what “The Great Spirit” (pg 230) gave them for granted. They always welcomed strangers; giving them clothes, shelter and food without ever expecting anything in return. Even when this visitors broke their most basic of common rules like announcing their presence before entering a village. “We took pity on them, granted their request; and they sat down among us.…

    As Tecumseh and the Shawnee tribe struggled to maintain a peaceful relationship with the colonist, their land was being stripped from them almost daily. The colonists continued attacking the tribe until they drove the tribe off the land (Wikipedia 1-3). In the “Speech of Tecumseh to Governor Harrison,” Tecumseh…

    The British began by building houses in an unobtrusive way which led the indigenous people to believe they could co-habitate, but as the English spread, the natives were forced to move or fight for their land. Eventually interactions with the British led to domination of Native Americans not only by taking their land, but through spreading devastating diseases for which Native tribes had no immunity.…

    In “Move the Cherokee to Indian Territory” by Jack Andrews, it states, “We should also remember that these Indians have waged war on America since 1775.” This quote shows that the Americans and the Indians have been enemies since 1775. The article also says, “In 1776 the Cherokees ravaged American settlements in North and South Carolina, killing men, women and children. In many cases their victims were scalped alive and even burned at the stake.” This shows that the Americans are justified for the seeing the Indians as enemies because of the way that the Indians have treated them in the past. It would be madness to invite someone who had kidnapped and murdered a friend to stay at one’s home. The opposing side might argue that Americans have treated the Indians badly as well by cheating them during trading and breaking agreements. However, if the Indians were to move away to the Indian Territory, they would be free to govern themselves and would not have to deal with any or all Americans ever…

    In 1763, the French and Indian War ended by the final defeat of the French and their Native American allies in America. When the Americans thought the British were leaving, they did the exact opposite. The British brought in more soldiers and these same American colonists found themselves locked with the British more violent than ever. Britain sent more troops to receive money for their war depts. This was shocking news for the America’s English colonists because there was still the policy of salutary neglect existing. Due to this violent control, Americans felt unfair and as if they had no choice to follow what the British say. To stand up as one voice towards Britain, the American colonists justified in waging war and breaking away from Britain. Therefore, the American colonists were reasonable in doing this.…

    The Message to Congress from the Chickasaw Chiefs, July 1783 talks about the Indians just wanting to be friends and being hopeful for the future, and in The united Indian Nations, Speech at the Confederate Council, 1786, it says that the Indians were disappointed in the fact that the British treated the Indians badly and that the Indians expected more kindness and friendship from the British. When settlers first came here, they were kinder to the Natives, and once they weren’t dependent of the Indians for learning the cultivation of food, they treated them awfully. I think that never really changed. They were always driven out of places because of the greed of the British. The colonists wanted the Tories to go back to England because they felt like the Loyalists were trying to make the colonies the same as England, which the colonists wanted to get away from. They figured that if the Loyalists loved England so much, why didn’t they just go…

    Within the years of 1750-1781, Bostonians watched their fellow colonists lie dead on the floor. This incident, known as the Boston Massacre, had a strong effect through the colonies. The Massacre, along with numerous taxes and other burdens, led the American colonists to begin to realize that only by standing together could they stop the British burdens. After Boston trade was hindered by the British, colonies as far as South Carolina showed support for the city by sending over much needed food and supplies. They developed a sense of unity and experienced a feeling of a new identity. They were no longer British, but Americans. And they were going to unite to defend those rights and liberties that made them Americans from anyone, including the British. Major points to defend this would be The Boston relief, The great awakening and the famous “Join, or die.” cartoon.…

    In 1811, Tecumseh delivered a speech to his people in hopes of getting them to go against the Americans. An American killed Tecumseh’s father and then later, because of Andrew Jackson, needed to give up land to the Americans. This angered Tecumseh because his goal was to win back his land. In order to fight against the Americans, Tecumseh needed to gather an army. Tecumseh, “traveled around the Great Lakes region persuading tribes to join his pan-Indian confederacy.” Tecumseh gave speeches to his people encouraging them to join him and many people did.
