Were The First Nations Unified In The 1870's During And After Confederation?
Have you ever thought if the First nations were as unified as today in the 1870’s during and after confederation? Well I believe that when confederation reached in 1870’s the first nations weren’t as unified like they were before the confederation which leads me to think the woodlands (Ojibwa) are divided for the following reasons, they didn’t work as a group to do anything after confederations, after they moved to their new land they were happy about how part of their group was trying to control the west part of Canada and since society today doesn’t give the attention that the woodland needs because they weren’t as unified.

Firstly, the first nations weren’t happy as Cartier and Macdonald about Ottawa’s attempts to control the West, which if they were unified they would have had the same feelings as each other but Cartier and Macdonald were happy that Ottawa is trying to control the west part of Canada. Some of the first nation people have tried to tell their head people to stop the Ottawa from controlling the west but Cartier and Macdonald didn’t even care since they wanted Ottawa to take control but if they weren’t divided they

    A Summary Of Rupert's Land Rumors

    Rumors have been around for quite a while now that Canada is planning to buy Rupert’s Land. Today, these rumors have become true. The official agreement on the transfer of Rupert’s Land has been made. The news has largely caused concern amongst the Métis who have been claiming the land they farm and live on as their own. The main reason of concern circulates around where they will live if the government chooses to oust them from their self-claimed land.…

    Meech Lake Accord Case Study

    With the 1990 Meech Lake Accord resulting in failure, succeeding it was the Charlottetown Accord in 1992. While primarily focusing on the Issues of Quebec at the time it did also address “the issue of Aboriginal self-government but provided for a waiting period of three years before the concept would be recognized in law. It also dealt with aboriginal representation in Parliament (Gall).” Through a total of five rounds of constitutional politics, the First Nations peoples were managing to achieve some recognition of their right to govern by consent (Russell 169, “Constitutional Odyssey”). However, the process was far from easy, it has been thus far, far from easy. During the Charlotte Accords was no exception, “reaching an accord with [First…

    Dbq on Articles of Confederation

    "From 1781 to 1789 the articles of Confederation provided the United States with an effective government". I disagree with this quote because the articles was to weak to keep the nation unified which made the article a failure. The Articles were set up intentionally to be weak because of the memory of a strong central government of the British. The articles were to weak to govern effectively so it did not have the ability to carry out designs with out controversy from other states. This caused major problems later down the road for America. The Articles did had some good points to it like the Land Ordinance of 1785 but it was ultimately a failure due to financial, foreign, and domestic problem the Articles had made.…

    Louis Riel: a Father of Confederation the Métis’ Struggle

    In the early to mid 1800s, the area that we know of today as Manitoba was called the Red River Valley. Its inhabitants consisted of mostly the Métis, people that had European fathers and native mothers. As a part of Rupert’s Land, the Red River Settlement was greatly affected by the Canadian government’s plan to purchase Rupert’s Land. Many factors contributed to the Canadian government desire to possess this vast territory. The National Dream to build Canada as a nation from “sea to sea” was threatened when the Americans purchased Alaska. As John A. MacDonald said, “I would be quite willing, personally, to leave that whole country a wilderness for the next half-century but I fear if Englishmen do not go there, Yankees will,” expanding Canada westwards was inevitable. In consideration of Manifest Destiny, the belief that the US was justified and destined to conquer all of North America, Prime Minister MacDonald states his fear that the Americans may conquer the surrounding territory around Canada. This motivated the government to purchase Rupert’s Land and to start expanding Canada westwards. In addition, with the growth of the population came a bigger demand for farmland. Stimulated by the cheap plots of land, settlers, mostly Protestants and members of the Orange Order, a group of people that were anti – French and anti – Catholic, established themselves in the Red River Valley. Inevitably, this led to inequity and prejudice against the French and English…

    The articles of confederation created a weak central government that couldn’t enforce laws or collect taxes. The reason for not taxing the colonist is because. The colonies just won the revolutionary war and parted from Britain because they didn't want to be taxed anymore. what they didn’t consider is if the government needed money for a war then they would have to use the government money instead of using the money to improve the city’s and state's.

    Sir John A. Macdonald's Unified Canada

    Sir John A. Macdonald is revered as the father figure of Canada, and in his day united various conflicting factions such as the Maritimes and French Canadians - a powerful force in creating a unified Canada. The political quagmire of the 1860s provided no encouragement for Macdonald’s unification goals, as the interests of Canada East and Canada West were paralyzed by incessant political dispute. The French and English blocs in the legislature could not agree on any matter and adding to Macdonald’s discomfort, the prospect of the Maritimes joining grew increasingly bleak. However, Macdonald’s skill as a politician allowed for him to navigate this rough political terrain - forming a strong coalition between Le Parti Bleu under George-Étienne…

    How Did The Continental Congress Deal With Indians?

    dealing with Indians (Jaimes, p141). The fledgling government understood that changing the worlds perception was paramount to the survival both politically and economically of the United States (Jaimes, p141). What the Continental Congress hoped to gain from the Natives was legitimacy as a nation. If the United States entered into treaties with these nations in the same fashion as other countries it would in turn signal to the world that the United States was recognized on some level as a nation. The tribes had been given national integrity and legitimacy by other European nations through treaty agreements and if these sovereign Native nations would then enter into treaties with the United States it would in turn add legitimacy to the new government and as such would demand that other nations assume a comparable recognition towards the new nation (Jaimes, p141).…

    Pros And Cons Of Confederation

    By now, most of you have heard that the idea of Confederation is going around the government suggested by both John A.Macdonald and George Brown. I believe that we ought to hear them out in order to save our country from falling into the hands of the Americans. The confederation is the most plausible choice at this very moment in time because there is a very high chance that the Americans will take over Canada because we support the Southern states during the Civil war. The Civil war between the Northern and Southern states was a war focused on whether or not to abolish slavery. The Southern states were against slavery, while the Northern states were for slavery. During the Civil war, Canada has supported the Southern states on not abolishing…

    Why Did Reconstruction Establish Itself After The Civil War?

    How could America rebuild itself after the civil war? Post civil war, America was bruised and bloodied from the warring factions. Ultimately the Union won, but how would it incorporate the defeated South back into the Union? The best strategy that the Northern government could collectively pass was the Reconstruction Plan. The Reconstruction Plan focused on punishing the south by helping freedmen and establishing their (limited) rights, preventing confederate soldiers from voting, and having almost total reign over former confederate state government. However, the plan of reconstruction would be so degraded over time that most of the progress made for arican americans would be reversed. Overall the reconstruction plan failed, the reasons behind these failures are numerous but the biggest ones are: the lose of Republicans in government control, the rise of groups who targeted blacks and physically and civilly, and finally the general racism of both Northern and Southern states had a large role in the liberties of freedmen being passed or not. Reconstruction has started out strong and had it continued, we could have had a much different America, but now we can only…

Confederation solved many problems Canada was facing at the time such as, political deadlock, threats from other forces and a railway that was needed. Political deadlock was a major problem in the 1800’s. Since each party had an equal amount of representatives, no decisions could be made because each party had an equal say in the government.…

    How Did The Federalists Struggle To Gain Power?

    When Washington took the office of President in 1789 the prevailing mindset of the founders was that political harmony would guarantee freedom and should be maintained, but despite the initial wishes the following decade produced such heated debate on the best course for the new government that it became known as the “age of passions.” These debates reached the people as the struggle to gain power came at the cost of the first protection of the Bill of Rights, the freedom of speech. The Federalist and Democratic Republicans emerged in response to the Hamilton plan and continued throughout the decade, becoming more pronounced, as Federalist impeded the first protection in the bill of rights, the freedom of speech, in their struggle to repress…

    Personality disorders greatly influence the dropout rates in treatment for homeless individuals. Of the cluster B personality disorders, borderline personality disorder is one of the most difficult to treat in homeless individuals due to its high comorbidity rate with other Axis I disorders and the patient’s difficulty in emotional regulation and maintaining stable relationships with others.
