Before today, I didn’t know much about Georgia O’Keeffe and I wasn’t familiar with any of her paintings.

Her landscape paintings all contain a very distinct look to them that make them seem very original. The fact that she makes a place like New Mexico seem like it’s got breathtaking scenery

Still, Native Americans continued to protect their common title of their land and preserve their existence until thousands of them were

Cherokee rights before the U.S. Supreme Court after the state of Georgia passed legislation that John Ross claimed to "go directly to annihilate the Cherokees as a political society." Georgia retaliated, claiming that the Cherokee nation could not sue since they were not a foreign nation with a constitution, therefore the case should not be brought to court in the first place.

Question 1 I think that Andrew Jackson was a bad president. He was bad because he was disrespectful to the native americans. Andrew Jackson declared federal tariffs of 1828 and 1832 were unconstitutional. The nation suffered a economic downturn through the 20’s.

Andrew Jackson signed the indian removal act

Their migration was called “The Trail of Tears” because of the negative effects it had on the Cherokees. It should not have happened and the U.S. should not have allowed it because it split apart people that were unified. They already had their own laws, and every clan was recognized. The marches took place over two thousand-two hundred miles, moving the

Just about a year ago, my seventh grade class took a trip to Pigeon Key, FL to spend two days at a Marine Science Center. My school encouraged every student to go on the trip and after hours and hours of driving, we were greeted by many enthusiastic staff members excited to take us on the boat to Pigeon Key. When the boat arrived at the dock, I was immediately overwhelmed by the gorgeous scenery. Water wrapped around the island like a blanket, leaving only a small space for the buildings. At the

The Declaration of Independence is taught to children as a letter sent from America to Britain almost like a breakup note, but this is not really what it was. The intent of the document is to convince a disparate group of British farmers and tradesmen, who lived in a colony far from England, that they had no choice but to unite in revolution against the tyrannical King. The Declaration of Independence artfully sought to find common ground among slave and free colonies, rich landowners and poor settlers
