Answer:

American Colonization Society (ACS), originally known as the The Society for the Colonization of Free People of Color of America, was founded in 1816 by Robert Finley to encourage and support the migration of free African Americans to the continent of Africa. There were several factors that led to the establishment of the American Colonization Society. The number of free people of color grew steadily following the American Revolutionary War, from 60,000 in 1790 to 300,000 by 1830. Consequently, slaveowners grew increasingly concerned that free blacks might encourage or help their slaves to escape or rebel. In addition, most white Americans saw African Americans as "racially" inferior and felt that "amalgamation," or integration, of African Americans with white American culture was impossible and undesirable. This reinforced the notion that African Americans should be relocated to somewhere they could live free of prejudice, where they could be citizens. The African-American community and abolitionist movement overwhelmingly opposed the project. In most cases, African Americans' families had lived in the United States for generations, and their prevailing sentiment was that they were no more African than white Americans were European. Contrary to stated claims that emigration was voluntary, many African Americans, both free and enslaved, were pressured into emigrating. Indeed, enslavers sometimes manumitted their slaves on condition that the freedmen leave the country immediately. According to historian Marc Leepson, "Colonization proved to be a giant failure, doing nothing to stem the forces that brought the nation to Civil War." Between 1821 and 1847, only a few thousand African Americans, out of the then millions in the US, emigrated to what would become Liberia. Close to half of them died from tropical diseases. In addition, the transportation of the emigrants to the African continent, including the provisioning of requisite tools and supplies, proved very expensive.

All of the above

Explanation: There were a series of wars between the colonial force and the native Americans which were mainly Indians.Even after the independence of the America from British there was a war between Indians and whites. After, independence the federal government took some policy Indians which were not pleasant for them, which led a bloody war between the Indians and white troops.

The duration of the war was long. But the in the long run the Indians were defeated. There were some reasons for the defeat of Indians. The buffalo soldiers were an important part of the war. They were the strength of the Indians warriors. But the decrease of their number became a reason of their defeat.

On the other hand, the white soldiers had advanced military technology like as guns, canons etc. But Indians did not have enough modern weapon to fight against the white soldiers.

Moreover, the number of Indians were less than white Americans. As a result they were outnumbered.

Therefore, all these factors led the defeat of Plains Indians.

Answer:

The two themes I choose:

- Separation of Powers

The "Separation of Powers" states that governmental powers are to be evenly split between "x" amount of branches, x being determined by the Founding Fathers. Each of these branches are given a certain power (or job) that they need to do. For example, The Powers were separated and given to 3 branches:

Executive Branch: This branch is has the power to create a bill, as well as veto, line-veto, give ideas on what to change in a bill, create diplomatic relations with countries, ask congress to start wars, set up Judicial Judges.

Legislative Branch: This branch has the power to create bills, pass the bill, declare war, regulate commerce, control taxation and spending policies, veto or approve Judicial Judges.

Judicial Branch: This branch has the power to impeach Presidents, declare a law or bill as unconstitutional, have the last word on cases that reaches the Supreme Court.

- Checks and Balances

As stated above, there are 3 branches. Each of these branches (I will reiterate what i said) have the powers over the other, so as to not be able to overstep their bounds. Think of it as a triangle, in which they have more power and less power than the others.

Executive Branch:

Powers:

Veto/Pass Bills

Instate Judges

Start relations with other countries

Weakness:

Can be impeached

Veto can be overturned by Congress; Bills passed can be overturned by the Supreme Court

Must ask Congress to start wars if relations turn sour

Legislative Branch:

Powers:

Able to pass laws

Able to declare war

Able to regulate country and foreign commerce

Able to control taxes and how the government spends its funds

Weakness:

Congressmen & women can be replaced

Laws passed can be vetoed/declared unconstitutional

Judicial Branch:

Powers:

Life long term if appointed unless... (which would be put in weakness)

Able to declare laws unconstitutional

Able to have final word in how laws would be interpreted

Weaknesses:

Judges can be replaced

Rulings can be changed if the law is changed later on
