History

Vesna [10]3 years ago

The trail began at the old Independence Landing north of Independence, Missouri. Here emigrants left steamboats after a five or six day journey from St. Louis. The center of activity in the small town of Independence was the bustling square. Most of the new pioneers camped a mile or two from the square and were busily purchasing supplies needed for their four to five month trek. Those with horses or mules left first so they could feed upon the shorter grasses. The majority with powerful and durable oxen left two weeks later because cattle have a different dentition than horses.

What cause the retaliation of red cloud and the Sioux Indians?
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Sand Creek Massacre of 1864 and due to intruders having endangered the food resources of the Plains tribes.

Explanation:

The retaliation of red cloud and the Sioux Indians was as a result of Sand Creek Massacre of 1864 and due to intruders having endangered the food resources of the Plains tribes.

After gold was discovered in Montana, the U.S. Army built forts across Lakota hunting grounds, which led to the Bozeman Trail. with its connection to the Oregon Trail, results to miners, immigrants, settlers and wagon trains passing directly through the buffalo feeding areas, which led to damaging the food resources of the Plain Tribes .

Hence, Red Cloud, together with Sioux Indians refused to sign a non-aggression treaty which will allow passage across their lands from Fort Laramie to the gold fields of Montana.

Therefore, various attacks were launched in retaliation against U.S army and settlers, whereby the native warriors employed guerilla tactics.

Who argued that the equal protection clause found in the fourteenth amendment already included women citizens
lakkis [162]

The Equal Protection Clause is part of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The clause, which took effect in 1868, provides that no state shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction "the equal protection of the laws".

A primary motivation for this clause was to validate the equality provisions contained in the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which guaranteed that all people would have rights equal to those of all citizens. As a whole, the Fourteenth Amendment marked a large shift in American constitutionalism, by applying substantially more constitutional restrictions against the states than had applied before the Civil War.

The meaning of the Equal Protection Clause has been the subject of much debate, and inspired the well-known phrase "Equal Justice Under Law". This clause was the basis for Brown v. Board of Education (1954), the Supreme Court decision that helped to dismantle racial segregation, and also the basis for many other decisions rejecting discrimination against people belonging to various groups.

While the Equal Protection Clause itself only applies to state and local governments, the Supreme Court held in Bolling v. Sharpe (1954) that the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment nonetheless imposes various equal protection requirements on the federal government.
