• meaning:
• why its important:

• buffalo
• role in plains indians lives:

activity 2: identify and give a brief reason for choosing the two factors you think are going to pose the largest problems leading to clashes between plains indians (described above) and us settlers - defended by the us government - as they moved onto the great plains.
activity 3: fill in the venn diagram to compare and contrast concepts associated with settlers and the us government on one side and plains indians on the other. in the middle, include at least one thing they had in common.

1. indian removal, reservation system, indian wars: what these were and how theyre related

Explanation:

The questions cover historical events and social - issues related to Reconstruction in the US and Westward Expansion, focusing on the experiences of African - Americans and Native Americans. Key historical concepts like Manifest Destiny, and policies such as Indian Removal are involved.

Answer:

1. For Activity 13, question 1: Without seeing the cartoon, it's hard to state the central idea precisely. However, one would analyze the visual elements (words, familiar faces, prominent things, symbols) to determine the message about African - American rights during Reconstruction.

• For question 2: One would study the slides 44 and 47 to identify the type of restriction on Southern African - Americans, such as sharecropping, Black Codes, Jim Crow Laws which limited their economic, social, and political freedoms.

1. For Activity 2: Two factors leading to clashes between Plains Indians and US settlers could be land ownership (US settlers moving onto Native American lands) and cultural differences (Native American way of life vs. settler's agricultural and industrial lifestyle).
2. For Activity 3: In the Venn Diagram, for settlers and US government - side: concepts like land acquisition, expansionist policies. For Plains Indians - side: concepts like traditional land rights, nomadic lifestyle. In common: both needed resources like water and food. Regarding US policies toward Natives, the Indian Removal was about forcing Native Americans off their lands to make way for settlers. The Reservation system confined them to specific areas. Indian Wars were conflicts over land and sovereignty. The Sand Creek Massacre was a violent attack on a Cheyenne and Arapaho village by US forces. The Treaty of Fort Laramie had provisions regarding Native American lands and rights, though often violated. The Battle of Little Bighorn was a significant Native American victory against US forces, but it also led to increased US efforts to subdue the tribes.
