The Dawes Act of 1877 provided that Native Americans could have the opportunity to own land, if they agreed to comply with the rules of the American government and leave their heritage. This was seen throughout schools where Native American children were forced to cut off their hair, and accept a "white" man's name.
The location of the famous stand by three hundred Spartans against the Persian army is called Thermopylae. The battle itself was called the Battle of Thermopylae.
