Ow did the views of Native Americans and Europeans differ in terms of property ownership?

History

slamgirl [31]3 years ago

The way Europeans viewed property ownership in the New World was by and large influenced by the "discovery doctrine," wherein any land in the New World belonged to whichever European power discovered it first (assuming the colonial territory hadn't been seized by another European power). When it came to individual land ownership, Europeans believed that all land had a rightful owner, and that land could be passed from one individual to another via inheritance or purchase.

The way natives viewed property ownership is a little bit more complicated simply due to the fact that "Native Americans" were not (and are not) a single cohesive group with the same belief and traditions. Some Native groups, like the Iroquois and the Wendat (aka the Huron)  believed in communal land ownership, wherein a permanently settled plot of land belonged to all the people of the tribe, and would only change hands if conquered by a different tribe. Nomadic native groups, like the Sioux, didn't believe in land ownership at all, and thus had no real concept of it. Finally, some native groups such as the Aztec and Incan empires believed in roughly the same ideas of property ownership as the Europeans (land has rightful individual owners, and can be purchased by individuals and inherited).

The Europeans have a perspective of owning land is considered when someone plants or builds a structure in it. On the other hand, Native Americans think that simply living on the land is already enough for them to be considered as their own property.

Answer:

  • The Soviet Union wanted to gain access to build bases on warm-water ports (ports that do not freeze over in the winter) for easy access to the ocean.
  • The Soviet Union wanted to gain new territory for expansion of communism throughout the world.
  • The Soviet Union desired to increase its influence by surrounding itself with satellite nations that could prove beneficial for military and economic gain.

Explanation:

The Soviet Union had a lot of land mass that bordered the Arctic ocean and other areas in the Soviet Union were quite cold as well which led the Soviets to desire a warm water port that they could use to access the ocean more effectively.

The also wanted to spread communism around the world and so desired territory to do so.

Finally, the Soviet Union wanted to increase its influence so it surrounded itself with Satellite states such as those in the Warsaw Pact and Soviets in the Soviet Union.

What was the outcome of the Worcester v. Georgia court case? A. The Cherokees won the right to stay on their land and were deeme
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:  A. The Cherokees won the right to stay on their land and were deemed an independent nation.

<em>(That was a hollow victory though -- see last paragraph of explanation below.)</em>

<em />

Explanation:

The 1832 case, Worcester v. Georgia, ruled unconstitutional a Georgia law requiring non-Native Americans requiring a license from the state to be on Native American land.  In responding to the case, the Supreme Court asserted that the federal government is the sole authority to deal with a Native American nation.  From this Supreme Court assertion came the beginnings of tribal sovereignty within the United States for Native American nations -- that the US government would deal with them as domestic nations inside the United States.

The court case was named after Samuel Worcester, a Christian minister working among the Cherokee who was supportive of the Cherokee cause.  To block the activity of a man like Rev. Worcester, the state of Georgia passed a law prohibiting white persons to live within the Cherokee Nation territory without permission from the Georgia state government.  Worcester and other missionaries challenged this law, and the case rose to the level of a Supreme Court decision.  The decision by the Supreme Court, written by Chief Justice Marshall, struck down the Georgia law and reprimanded Georgia for interfering in the affairs of the Cherokee Nation.  Marshall wrote that Indian nations are "distinct, independent political communities retaining their original natural rights." 

But President Andrew Jackson chose not to enforce the court's decision.  He said at the time: "The decision of the Supreme Court has fell stillborn, and they find that it cannot coerce Georgia to yield to its mandate."  He told the Cherokee that they would need to operate under the jurisdiction of the state of Georgia or else relocate.  This was a step in the direction of what became known as the "Trail of Tears," when the Cherokee were removed from Georgia and moved to territory in Oklahoma.
