Nation States were instrumental in funding voyages and improving the human condition during the age of exploration. England, a Nation State, helped bridge the New World and Old World together. Together they created an array of wealth and opportunity, which as a result bettered the lives of both the people in England, and the settlers of the New World.

Over the past years Native Americans had cared for their own sacred lands, the story and religion that their primogenitors had taught them. The Native Americans had still carried the strong belief, that their land shall stay the same as if it should've been until new people had come in from elsewhere to change the land to something we all see outside till this day. However, there is a new project “The Dakota Access Pipeline” that had crossed the line of Native American trust between the new people that had changed everything the Natives had had since their ancestors were still living. No matter what effect the pipeline puts on most people there are some positive causes that can change a person such as protesters to think positive towards the pipeline being built on Indian reservation land. Even if the pipeline can cause many people to have a thought that the pipeline should not be built, only if they can hear from both sides, they can have a second thought and allow the pipeline to be built.

The Spanish colonization of the Americas was a complex and lengthy process that involved a wide range of strategies and institutions. One of the pivotal rudiments of this process was the establishment of presidios, which were military strongholds used by garrisons of varying sizes to cover and protect Spanish homes and populations from external risks. The presidios were constantly located in remote regions. The garrisons that occupied these strongholds consisted of legionnaires known as dragones de cuera, brave soldiers trained for frontier warfare. Meanwhile, the Spanish carried out different missions to convert the indigenous populations to Christianity, for which they reckoned on religious institutions.

Humans have been fighting wars and conquering each other since they set foot on this world. We fight like dogs and cats, taking each other's wealth, land, and power, yet we still say it is wrong to take something away from someone. Why is it wrong for the Americans to take the Native American's land when the Native Americans take other people's lands too? Whether the land is yours or not depends solely on how strong your army is and how large your land is. If Whites developed more advanced weaponry, better battle strategies, and were more determined than the Native people already on the land, then the land they take belongs to them.

In 1793 Timothy Pickering had a suggestion for how to prevent the extinction of the Native American population, by moving them over the Mississippi (Garrison 13). Between the years of 1816 and 1850 more than 100,000 Native Americans from all over North America were forced onto certain lands of territory west of the Mississippi (O’Neill 37). They were often forced to move to territory that had little to no resemblance of where they came from; villages that roamed hills, forests and lush vegetation had the possibility of being relocated to an area that was nothing but barren desert (O’Neill 12). Many had attempted to move Native Americans, but President Andrew Jackson and his administration were the first to have their proposal legislated by

When the settlers of Europe first came to the new world, they were introduced to the Native Americans. The settlers wanted the Natives to follow their culture and its benefits such as education, religion, and the usage of the environment. The Native Americans refused the request, stating they have their own type of culture, believing it to be the most superior; as a result, the Natives’ statement angered the ethnocentric settlers. Consequently, this caused a conflict between the two groups because of their culture differences. Firstly, the main culture difference consists of religion, tradition, and way of living.

One who is a supporter may argue that it helped US industry; an opponent may think it was unfair of the US to take over land owned by other forces.
