Harrizon [31]
<span>From 1774 to 1789, the Continental Congress served as the government of the 13 American colonies and later the United States. The First Continental Congress, which was comprised of delegates from the colonies, met in 1774 in reaction to the Coercive Acts, a series of measures imposed by the British government on the colonies in response to their resistance to new taxes. In 1775, the Second Continental Congress convened after the American Revolutionary War (1775-83) had already begun. In 1776, it took the momentous step of declaring America’s independence from Britain. Five years later, the Congress ratified the first national constitution, the Articles of Confederation, under which the country would be governed until 1789, when it was replaced by the current U.S. Constitution.</span>

Why might u.s. officials have believed that sitting bull stared the ghost dance movement?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

They believed he might have started the Ghost Dance Movement because of his firce opposition to Anglo-Americans influence on the lives of Native Americans.

The Lakota Sioux chief,<em> Sitting Bull</em>, was one of the most influential leaders of the great plains. He was involved in many battles and the Standing Rock Indian Agency feared that <em>he might incite the Sioux and others to rebel.</em>

When the mystical Ghost Dance ritual started in 1890, the Agents feared it might lead to an Indian uprising. They wrongly believed Sitting Bull was the driving force behind it because of his influence in the tribe. He was shot by an Indian Agent among fears he might escape the reservation with Ghost Dance followers and form some type of armed resistance.

The real founder of the Ghost Dance was a Paiute Indian from Nevada called Wovoka, also known as Jack Wilson.
