How did the native Americans react to the westward expansion and American system
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

As Americans began to move westward, they wanted to take the land on which Native Americans lived. Some Native American tribes resisted violently. By 1790, many Native American tribes in the western areas had banded together. Many of these tribes supported the British in the Revolutionary War, and they feared what would happen as the Americans began to expand westward. The Americans defeated a group of Native American tribes in the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794. This led to the Treaty of Greenville in 1795, which required the Native American tribes to give up some of their western lands.

During the 1800s, more battles occurred. Tecumseh tried to organize the Native Americans into a confederation, as he feared what would happen as a result of continued westward expansion by the Americans. The Americans fought the Native Americans in the Battle of Tippecanoe while Tecumseh was away in 1811. The Americans won this battle, preventing any confederation from forming. In 1831–1832, the Sac and Fox tribes were defeated in Black Hawk’s War. These groups also were unsuccessful in stopping the westward expansion of the American people.

As Americans settled west of the Mississippi River after 1850, more conflicts occurred. The Native Americans were relocated to these lands that were west of the Mississippi River with the belief that the United States wouldn’t expand to these lands. When the Americans did move into these areas, battles were fought throughout the West. The Eastern Sioux attacked settlers in Minnesota, and the army defeated them. They were forced to move to the Dakotas. In Colorado, the Sand Creek Massacre occurred. Many Native Americans fighting with Black Kettle were killed in this massacre. In some cases, the Native Americans fought and defeated the United States Army. The Lakota tribe defeated General George Custer at the Battle of Little Bighorn. The Lakota Sioux and other tribes also inflicted a harsh blow when the American army was lured into a trap in what is known as Fetterman’s Massacre. Many American soldiers died here. However, in most cases, the United States Army fought and defeated the Native American tribes.

There were many battles fought between Native American tribes and the American army as the Americans moved westward.

That was actually my fastest typing speed record ;)

In 150 to 200 words, compare and contrast the significance of government and mathematics in ancient Egypt.
Gnoma [55]

The ancient Egyptian and ancient Greek civilizations are two of the oldest known civilizations in our history. The Egyptian civilization, based in the eastern part of North Africa, is believed to have started around 3150 BC and continued till the end of the Pharaoh rule in 31 BC. The ancient Greek civilization is believed to have been in effect from 1100 BC till about 146 BC. Many similarities and differences existed between these two civilizations, as even though they co-existed during a certain timeframe (1150 BC to 146 BC), they were located in different geographical areas. Because of these differences in geography, both these civilizations were subjected to different kinds of exposure, which included contact with other civilization and cultural inheritance. In the political sphere, we find that the Egyptian civilization had stronger emphasis on central authority, while the Greeks had a more decentralized structure, where powers were distributed over the cities and the states as well. As far as art is concerned, we find that the Egyptians were more involved in creating great monumental and gaudy structures, while the Greeks were more involved in creating smaller, more literary pieces of art.

One of the biggest reasons why these two civilizations had these differences is due to their geography. The Egyptians had easy access to large stones that they could bring in to their country and use them to erect such monumental structures. Many scholars believe that it was their power structure and the lust of large buildings that caused the Egyptians to develop a class system where they had to gather mass laborers to work for them. This can also be attributed to the Egyptians have a very strong bureaucracy and a strictly centralized government system. These differences can also be attributed to the difference in religious beliefs of the two civilizations, as the Egyptians had a very strong believe in the after-life and they built all their large pyramids and structures in order to help their dead find a better life after death. The Greeks lacked such beliefs and this is why their social structure was very different from the Egyptians
