Summary

     In Mykaella's blog she talked about the whites gaining their freedom from taking away the freedom of the Native Americans. I learned that the whites took away the Native Americans lands and and they took away their culture by accimilation. Accilimilation is forcing people to do what you believe is to be civilized. The whites used violence to force the Indians into doing whatever they wanted.
     In Natassia's blog she wrote about the abuse that the Indians had to go through when the whites were taking their land away. I learned that many people died trying to protect their culture and the way that they lived. The whites killed many Native Americans because they wanted to take away their land as always. They killed innocent children and women and broke many of their promises.
     In Albert's blog he talked about if the Native Americans were using self defense or if they were just violent. The old western movies showed that the Indians were just savages and attack the whites for no reason. In reality they did have a reason, they were using self defense because the whites were mostly attacking them. The whites mostly drove the Indians away from their land and put them in reservation camps.
    In Ligny's blog she wrote about assimilation to the Indians. The Indians were very calm and peaceful people but the whites saw them as savages. The whites tricked the Native Americans to give up their lands and they were forced to move to0 reservation camps. The whites broke all of their promises that they made to the Native Americans.
     In Ruben's blog he talked about how the psycological state of the whites change after all they had been through to get the land that they had with the British. They saw the Native Americans as another treat that wanted to take away their land so they took it away because the land was kind of the whites pride. In my opinion thiswas kind of true because th whites had to go through alot to get where they were and they want tokeep their pride intact so they will do anything to keep it.
