Narcissa Prentiss Whitman was the first woman missionary to go to Oregon Country from New York. She crossed the Rocky Mountains and along with her husband Marcus Whitman, founded the Whitman Mission.
The couple went to the Oregon Country to try to civilize and Christianize the Cayuse Indians. Her aim was to try to help bring as many natives as she can to Christianity. Their efforts then turn to paving a way for the whites to gain access to the Oregon trial. But the plan did not work and the Cayuse natives murdered her and her family in Walla Walla in 1847.
The Tariff of Abominations of 1828 impacted the Southern economy as it set a 38% tax on a few imported goods while a 45% tax on a few imported materials.
<h3><em><u>From the earliest days of colonial contact, relations between white European settlers and indigenous people in the Americas were plagued by conflict over land and its natural resources. John C. Calhoun, who served as Secretary of War under President James Monroe, was the first to design a plan for removing Native Americans to lands west of the Mississippi River, but the Georgia delegation in the House of Representatives sunk the bill.</u></em></h3>
