On November 29, 1864, 700 militiamen from the Colorado Territory launched an assault on communities inhabited by Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians. U.S. Army Col. John Chivington, a Methodist minister and a freemason, served as the militia's commander.
<h3>What was the cause of the Sand Creek Massacre?</h3>
The long-running struggle for dominance of eastern Colorado's Great Plains was one of the main factors leading to the Sand Creek Massacre. Ownership of the region north of the Arkansas River and up to the Nebraska border was secured by the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1851, which also included the Cheyenne and Arapahoe.
Around 160 men, women, and children, including the elderly and infirm, were killed in a surprise attack by the U.S. Army on a non-combatant encampment of Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians in 1864 at the Big Sandy Creek in southeast Colorado.

The War Powers Act of 1941, also known as the First War Powers Act, was an American emergency law that increased Federal power during World War II. The act was signed by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and put into law on December 18, 1941, less than two weeks after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The act was similar to the Departmental Reorganization Act of 1917 as it was signed shortly before the U.S. engaged in a large war and increased the powers of the president's U.S. Executive Branch.
The act gave the President enormous authority to execute World War II in an efficient manner. The president was authorized to reorganize the executive branch, independent government agencies, and government corporations for the war cause. With the act, the President was allowed to censor mail and other forms of communication between the United States and foreign countries. The act and all changes created by its power were to remain intact until six months after the end of the war at which time, the act would become defunct.
Three months after passing the first, the Second War Powers Act was passed on March 27, 1942. This further strengthened the executive branch powers towards executing World War II. This act allowed the acquisition, under condemnation if necessary, of land for military or naval purposes. Some provisions of the Hatch Act of 1939 were also suspended which reduced naturalization standards for aliens within the U.S. Armed Forces. In addition, it created methods for war-related production contracting along with adjusting several other aspects of government affairs.The Second War Powers Act repealed the confidentiality of census data, allowing the FBI to use this information to round up Japanese-Americans.
Under-Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson retroactively delegated his authority from the President under the War Powers Act of 1941 to Leslie Groves for the Manhattan Project. The authority, given in a memorandum to Groves dated April 17, 1944, was retroactive to September 1, 1942. The written delegation was only given in 1944 when Grove's deputy Kenneth Nichols was about to sign a large contract with Du Pont, and it was found that he only had a low delegated authority, as Nichols' higher authority for the Manhattan Project had only been given verbally by General Styer to his predecessor Colonel James C. Marshall.
<h2>Answer: Northwest ordinance
</h2>
The Northwest Ordinance was a law unanimously enacted by the Congress of the United States Confederation in 1787. This law served to establish the initial scheme under which the United States would organize its territories.
However, in principle this ordinance was enacted to officially create the Northwest Territory as the <u>first organized territory of the United States </u> by establishing new laws, among which stand out the prohibition of slavery (Article IV) and respect for the religious beliefs of the territories that made up this region, as mentioned in Article III of said ordinance.
It should be noted that years later this law became part of the expansion policy of the United States to annex territories that were geographically far from its main territory. This can be seen specifically in the year 1898, when the United States triumphed over Spain in the Hispano-American War and as part of the Treaty of Paris, Spain ceded control of the Philippines, Guam and Puerto Rico to the United States.
