Module 7 Short Responses – Question 1 Name three historical lenses that you could apply to gain a fuller picture of the relationship between Natives and white settlers. Be sure to respond to this question in no more than one sentence, using proper grammar.
To get a better understanding of the relationship between Native Americans and white settlers, I would examine the situation from social, economic, and political perspectives. By using the political lens, I can focus on the laws that were in place during that time period. The
social lens will allow me to study the different groups of people involved. Lastly, the economic lens will help me analyze the relationships between capital and labor.
Module 7 Short Responses – Question 2 Revise the thesis statement at the top of this page to reflect a more complex view of the relationship between Natives and white settlers. Your revised thesis statement should be
longer than one sentence.
During the early 19th century, there were numerous disputes between Native American tribes
and white settlers over land ownership. The white settlers employed various tactics to gain control over the disputed territories, including using force, deception, and manipulation. Unfortunately, government officials also became involved in these conflicts, often siding with the white settlers and using their power to help them achieve their goals. This led to significant injustices being perpetrated against Native American communities, who were often forced to abandon their ancestral lands and relocate to less desirable areas. Overall, this period of history highlights the deep-seated inequalities and power imbalances that existed between Native Americans and white settlers during this time.
