Stand Watie was a leader of the Cherokee Nation. He was also a Brigadier General of the Army of the Confederate States during the Civil War. Watie came from a distinguished family in the State of Georgia and played an important role. especially in the negotiations with the Five Civilized Tribes and the Government of the Confederation. Difficult conversations due to the initial contempt of southerners to these native tribes of America. Despite this, Watie felt that the real fault lay with the federal government, so he sided with the Confederate States, for whom he set up a regiment of 300 Cherokee. In 1864, Watie was appointed Brigadier General due to the excellent performance of the Cherokee.

Stand Watie was a leader of the Cherokee Nation (near present-day Rome, Georgia), and the only Native American to reach a general's rank in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War.  

In 1829, the gold rush led Anglo settlers to pressure the Cherokees to relocate to reservations further west, aided by Congress’ passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830. Stand Watie, who served as a clerk for the Cherokee Supreme Court, was among the tribe members who supported removal to the western Cherokee Nation, believing it was the only way to preserve the tribe’s autonomy.  

In 1835, such Cherokee Supreme Court signed the Treaty of New Echota, ceding their homelands in Georgia in exchange for land on Indian Territory in what is now Oklahoma. However, Under Cherokee law, anyone who separated tribal lands was subject to the death penalty, and in 1839, almost all the signers of the New Echota treaty were executed.  

Watie, managed to escape this fate, becoming a prominent figure in Cherokee politics and a lifelong enemy of Principal Cherokee Chief John Ross. When the Civil War broke out in 1861, Watie joined the Confederacy <em>because he considered the federal government as the Cherokees’ principal enemy and not the South</em>

Ronch [10]

Answer:

i think that this may help...

Explanation:

Relations between the Soviet Union and the United States were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. The distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the Cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.

The United States government was initially hostile to the Soviet leaders for taking Russia out of World War I and was opposed to a state ideologically based on communism. Although the United States embarked on a famine relief program in the Soviet Union in the early 1920s and American businessmen established commercial ties there during the period of the New Economic Policy (1921–29), the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations until 1933. By that time, the totalitarian nature of Joseph Stalin's regime presented an insurmountable obstacle to friendly relations with the West. Although World War II brought the two countries into alliance, based on the common aim of defeating Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union's aggressive, antidemocratic policy toward Eastern Europe had created tensions even before the war ended.

The Soviet Union and the United States stayed far apart during the next three decades of superpower conflict and the nuclear and missile arms race. Beginning in the early 1970s, the Soviet regime proclaimed a policy of détente and sought increased economic cooperation and disarmament negotiations with the West. However, the Soviet stance on human rights and its invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 created new tensions between the two countries. These tensions continued to exist until the dramatic democratic changes of 1989–91 led to the collapse during this past year of the Communist system and opened the way for an unprecedented new friendship between the United States and Russia, as well as the other new nations of the former Soviet Union.

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

1. Boston Tea Party is a political protest by the American colonists against the Tea Act of May 1773. It was conducted or primarily participated by the Sons of Liberty in Boston, Massachusetts in December 1773.

2. The cause of the Boston Tea Party was the imposition of the Tea Act in May 1773 by the Parliament of Great Britain.

3. Some of the Effects of the Boston Tea Party are the following:

(I). the clampdown of Boston Harbor until the British East India Company tea was fully paid for

(ii). It stopped the Massachusetts Constitution and stopped free elections of town officials.

(iii). the establishment of martial law in Massachusetts.

4. The Boston Tea Party was an important step in the sequence of events leading to the colonies declaring independence because it caused so much damages and destruction of private and public properties. This led to Great Britain imposing Intolerable Acts that were seen by the colonists as an infringement of constitutional rights, natural rights, and colonial charters.

5. The Boston Tea Party and the passing of the Intolerable Acts lead to colonists declaring independence (wanting freedom) from Great Britain because it inspired and united many colonists to fight against the overbearing of Great Britain. This led to the First Continental Congress in September 1774 and subsequently the Declaration of Independence and American Revolutionary War.
