this has a little of my intro in it to

The Native Americans where mistreated during the 18 hundreds because of who they where, they had there land stolen from them and hundreds of there ancestors killed and hundreds of Native Americans put into slave camps. The Americans could have approached to getting more lands in some other ways like sharing; the Americans back then just took the land. Most Native Americans wrote poems about how Americans took there lands and killed there people, women and children and also stepping in the Indians burial ground and disrespecting the Native American’s dead.

Cultural stereotypes were used to justify official mistreatment of American Indians from the 1830s through the early 1900s and the Untied STates government should have approached territorial expansion different in a way to recognized the equality and humanity of the Indians. During the westward expansion the U.S. government committed serval injustice against the American Indians just to conquer more land. The American Indians did what they could to survive peacefully with the Whites without having wars or masscres. To recognized the equality and humanity of the American Indians, the U.S. government should have approached hte territorial expanison differently withoult any violence. After conquering the American Indians land, the U.S. government went one conquering other places in the world today.

Calvin, nice picture. lol. anyways...

Intro

Cultural stereotypes were used to justify official mistreatment of Native Americans from the 1830’s through the early 1900’s. More Europeans are coming into America and are taking up more and more land. It was a huge problem because of the huge population. The Europeans decided to steal the land from the Native Americans by tricking them and doing other racist acts. The US government should have approached this problem a different way.

Chris- Does this increase my grade or decrease it?

Cultural stereotypes were used to justify official mistreatment of American Inidans from the 1830's throught the early 1900's. The United States government ought to have approached territorial expansion differently, so that in a way they could recognize the equality and humanitiy of the Indians. The U.S government treated the Indians as if they were garbage and considered land to be more valuable than them. It's uncivilized and inhumanity. They deserve to be more than nothing and should be equal as the U.S government despite of their cultural differences and race. This is suppose to be the America, the place that is known for freedom, but the U.S government abused that rule and took matters in their own hands.

Many races were oppressed terribly throughout history. But there’s one race that had been oppressed the most horribly. A race that was nothing but innocent and caring had been pushed off their land and almost wiped out from extinction. Treated like animals by the Americans, many Native Americans weren’t only pushed off their land, but were humiliated when their people were killed in battle. They were the reason why the Puritans who had just come to America had survived. Yet they were backstabbed by the whites and were betrayed.

Statement
The American Indians from the 1830s through the early 1900s were being discriminated by Americans in many ways, which led them into having deep misunderstandings and created conflicts between the two nations that can never be solved.

Statement PARAGRAPH
When the pilgrims first settled in America, they were feared by this new strange land. They had nothing, no food, and no shelter. Then one brave Indian came along, welcomed them with the rest of his tribes, and the pilgrims, soon to be Americans, started to take their lands. American Indians from the 1830s through the early 1900s were being discriminated by Americans in many ways, the Indians were always peaceful, but the Whites settlers were thinking that they were ¡§savages¡¨, which led them into having deep misunderstandings and created conflicts between the two nations that can never be solved.

Cultural stereotypes were used to justify official mistreatment towards American Indians from the 1830s through the early 1900s but the United States government could have used a different approach for territorial expansion that could recognize the equality and humanity of the Indians. Since the day Europeans settled in America, land was taken away from the Native Americans, pushing them out of their homelands and the expansion of land westward forced these Indians into reservations. Injustices were shown on these American Indians but their voices weren’t loud over the screams of Americans. The way the American government drove the Indians to a land of nowhere could have been done in a different way, less violent and more effective that could have satisfied both groups. Today, Indians still fight for their freedom and rights in their reservations. Little by little they get partially what they want, but it wasn’t enough.

Cultural stereotypes were used to justify official mistreatment of American Indians from the 1830's through the early 1900's. The United States government have accomplished the territorial expansion using the wrong way which caused hatred between the two nations. During the first winter, the Pilgrims couldn't even have survived if it wasn't for the Native Americans helping them thus saving them also. Their thanks in return was being massacred and their land being taken away by the Americans. They were looked upon as "savages" and "simple-minded" when they're actually quite the opposite. The American Indians were oppressed and discriminated because of their culture and religion. Even now, they're still struggling through oppression and getting their rights back.

INTRO: Have you ever witnessed a terrible and unfair arangment made? If so has it changed the future and the opinions of the United States of America? Well, I have yet to witness one, but I have heard of one. It was about how the United States wanted more teritorial land so they began to conquer the Sioux Reservation in South Dakota. Instead of calmly talking out the problem, stating a reason and signing a paper, the United States had to once again prove a point by using violence (killing men, children, and women) for no good reason
THESIS: Honestly, I think that the United States Government approached the teritorial expantion in South Dakota wrong, they should have approached the Sioux Tribe less violently.
P.S. Crish i wrote the Thesis as well as the Intro do I get extra credit for that to???

Thesis Statement:
The cultural stereotypes used were to justify official mistreatment of American Indians from the 1830s; and many of those mistreatments came from the movement of Indians to the West.
Thesis Paragraph:
Many events were led to the misfortunes of the Native Americans. Because the Unites States government wanted territorial expansion, they had forced the Native Americans to go west. Sitting Bull described that experience like “they were an island, surrounded by a sea/ocean of whites.” The cultural stereotypes used were to justify official mistreatment of American Indians from the 1830s; and many of those mistreatments came from the movement of Indians to the West. The Native Americans died in different ways, but had the same results of a huge population destroyed. If the United States government had approached territorial expansion in another way, many Indians wouldn’t have died. The U.S government and the Indians didn’t have to start a battle at Wounded Knee Creek, but could’ve settled the disagreement peacefully.
