...The Battle of the Fallen Timbers In American History, mainly our colonies History, you’ll mostly likely learn about numerous wars between American Settlers and Native Americans. Although most of us won't dare to admit, Native Americans had their rights to be anger and attack. For example, we were the one’s to come and take their territory as if they weren't already innocent people living here. And most Indians didn’t even react wrongly to our behavior, instead, they treated us as nicely as possible and gave us food of their own. But, enough about that, below I would be discussing and describing the ‘Last War against American Settlers and Native Americans’. THE LAST? I know right! The Battle of the Fallen Timbers was the battle that ended the...

...The Battle of Fallen Timbers (August 20, 1794) was the final battle of the Northwest Indian War, a struggle between Native American tribes affiliated with the Western Confederacy, including support from the British led by Captain Alexander McKillop, against the United States for control of the Northwest Territory. “Get over here,” whispered chief wood tick, “we have to go”. So I woke up and went with the tribe, I didn’t know where we were going but I asked my sister starfire, “ where are we going” she said “away from the Europeans”. My grandma was shot from behind, “quick run,” said starfire. I ran as fast as I could we were separated and the Europeans took me and my sister, my heart was pumping and I was hitting and kicking but I could not...

...Reflecting on my resources, are the original questions I asked remain valid? As I review the Indian culture, there is a large wealth of information relating to all aspects of their society. A general concept of Indian warfare has evolved that is not unique to the understanding of historians. As much as the Indians were a part of Pontiac’s War and the Fort Pitt Campaign, the British were equal partners in the event. The Battle of Bushy Run becomes a case study in how the British military was evolving while the Indians were failing to adjust to a changing enemy that was slowly learning how to fight like the Indians and improve upon their military. This is the culmination of approximately 100 years of conflict with another almost 100 years of...

...A hero is defined as many things. One who is selfless, one who shows compassion, one who not only leads others into battle but fights alongside them. In the greek parables, The Odyssey, by Homer and in Oedipus Rex, by Sophocles a hero is described as someone who perseveres on even when burdened by the weight of the unknown. The hero of The Odyssey is named Odysseus, a young man who overcame many trials to get back to his home in Ithaca, and the hero of Oedipus Rex is King Oedipus, a ruler who has his people's best interest at heart. The protagonists in these tales are both reputed to have heroic qualities and yet how they dealt with being receptive to new ideas, their humility, and their relationship with a higher power was what led each to...

...The American surrender, following the British Siege of Detroit during the War of 1812. The city name comes from the Detroit River (French: le détroit du Lac Érie), meaning the strait of Lake Erie, linking Lake Huron and Lake Erie; in the historical context, the strait included Lake St. Clair and the St. Clair River.[6] The sieur de Cadillac in 1698 proposed to his government in Paris that Detroit be established as a shelter for displaced Indian allies. Paris approved and in 1701 Cadillac led a party of 100 Frenchmen to establish a post called Fort Pontchartrain du Détroit, naming it after his sponsor the comte de Pontchartrain, Minister of Marine under Louis XIV. In 1704 he was given ownership over the strenuous opposition of officials in New France. An investigation by de Pontchartrain showed Cadillac was a tyrannical profiteer whose mischief hurt the French cause, so Cadillac was removed and sent to faraway New Orleans as governor of Louisiana.[7] Ste. Anne de Détroit, founded 1701, is the second oldest continuously operating Catholic parish in the United States; it was the first building erected in Detroit.[1] Grants of free land attracted families to Detroit, which grew to 800 people in 1765. The main business was trading furs with the Indians, using goods supplied from Montreal.[8] It was the largest French village between Montreal and New Orleans.[9] Francois Marie Picoté, sieur de Belestre (Montreal 1719–1793), the last French commander at Fort Detroit (1758–1760)...

...Bark Beetle Management Over 41.7 millions of acres of conifer forests have been affected by the bark beetle, since 1997. Since, bark beetles are native insects not subject to eradication and need to be managed as integral parts of the ecosystem. The U.S. Forest Service strategy is a direct control approach, focused on three primary goals: human safety, forest recovery, and long-term forest resiliency, according to the “Western Bark Beetle Strategy,” published on July 11, 2011. The Forest Service and the Natural Resources Conservation Service is undertaking an effort to battle the bark beetle problem as a joint task force. Coordination will occur with State and federal agencies alongside with civilian partners to determine the risk to human safety, communicate the risks to the public, and leverage available partner capacity and funds to increase the scope of projects. With the integration and support from specific programs like Recreation, Road Management, Trail Management, Forest Health Protection, Hazardous Fuels, Facilities Maintenance, Forest Management, Vegetation Management and Salvage Sale, approximately $138 million in agency and supplemental appropriations is expected to fund the overwhelming toll the beetles have inflected on the forests. Hazard Rating System: Because outbreaks usually develop in mature to over mature forests, especially in lodgepole pine, large reserves of these forests pose a constant hazard in areas climatically favorable to the different...

...Andrew Bertubin HST 400 Dr. Rees 10/22/13 The War of 1812 The war of 1812 was a war that many people have forgotten. However it is a war that has shaped our country to what it is today. There are many variables to take into consideration when breaking down the war and how each positive and negative action has impacted our country. Importantly enough, the battles that took place on the Great Lakes significantly determined control over the Lakes and easy access for the British from the north. One battle in particular was the battle at Lake Erie. Oliver Hazard Perry was able to lead a fleet of ships against the giant Royal Navy. Throughout this paper I will discuss the buildup of tension on the lakes, hardship of building the fleets, recruiting manpower and supplies, and the infamous battle at Put-In-Bay. All of these events have a monumental impact on how the rest of the war could have played out. During the war of 1812 America wasn’t the only country having conflict with Great Britain. Great Britain was dealing with the Napoleonic wars lead by none other than Napoleon of France. This is important because this took heavy amounts of tension off the Americans because Britain was fighting a war back home. Okay, now we turn our path to Lake Erie. Early on in the war the United States didn’t put much emphasis on the importance of Lake Erie. Not up in till a couple of events took place on the lakes did the Americans pay closer attention to the lake. The first beginning...

...APUSH Study Guide 8 A weak Confederacy and the Constitution, 1776-1790 Themes/Constructs: The federal Constitution represented a moderately conservative reaction against the democratilizing effects of the Revolution and the Articles of Confederation. The American Revolution was not a radical transformation like the French or Russian revolutions, but it produced political innovations and some social change in the direction of greater equality and democracy. The American Revolution did not overturn the social order, but it did produce substantial changes in social customs, political institutions, and ideas about society and government. Among the changes were the separation of church and state in some places, the abolition of slavery in the North, written political constitutions, and a shift in political power from the eastern seaboard toward the frontier. The first weak government, the Articles of Confederation, was unable to exercise real authority, although it did successfully deal with the western lands issue. The Confederation’s weakness in handling foreign policy, commerce and the Shays Rebellion spurred the movement to alter the Articles. Instead of revising the Articles, the well-off delegates to the Constitutional Convention created a charter for a whole new government. In a series of compromises, the convention produced a plan that provided for a vigorous central government, a strong executive, the protection for property, while still upholding republican...

...the Aquitani another, those who in their own language are called Celts, in our Gauls, the third. All these differ from each other in language, customs and laws. The river Garonne separates the Gauls from the Aquitani; the Marne and the Seine separate them from the Belgae. Of all these, the Belgae are the bravest, because they are furthest from the civilization and refinement of [our] Province, and merchants least frequently resort to them, and import those things which tend to effeminate the mind; and they are the nearest to the Germans, who dwell beyond the Rhine, with whom they are continually waging war; for which reason the Helvetii also surpass the rest of the Gauls in valor, as they contend with the Germans in almost daily battles, when they either repel them from their own territories, or themselves wage war on their frontiers. One part of these, which it has been said that the Gauls occupy, takes its beginning at the river Rhone; it is bounded by the river Garonne, the ocean, and the territories of the Belgae; it borders, too, on the side of the Sequani and the Helvetii, upon the river Rhine, and stretches toward the north. The Belgae rises from the extreme frontier of Gaul, extend to the lower part of the river Rhine; and look toward the north and the rising sun. Aquitania extends from the river Garonne to the Pyrenaean mountains and to that part of the ocean which is near Spain: it looks between the setting of the sun, and the north star....
