(1830). Indian Removal Act.
"On February 24, 1830, a removal bill was reported out from the House Committee on Indian Affairs (John Bell of Tennessee, chairman). The same bill was also introduced into the Senate by its Indian Committee (also chaired by a Jacskon man from Tennessee). The text of the bill...was briefer than the President's message recommending it. In eight sections, it authorized the President to set aside an Indian territory on public lands west of the Mississippi; to exchange districts there for land now occupied by Indians in the East; to grant the triebes absolute ownership of their new homes 'forever'; to treat with tribes for the rearrangement of boundaries in order to effect the removal; to ensure that property left behind by emigrating Indians be properly appraised and fair compensation be paid; to give the emigrants 'aid and assistance' on their journey and for the first year after their arrival in the their new country; to protect the emigrants from hostile Indians in the West and from any other intruders; to continue the 'superintendence' now exercised over the Indians by the Trade and Intecourse Laws. And to carry out these responsibilities, the Congress appropriated the sum (soon to prove woefully inadequate) of $500,000."

(1831). Cherokee Nation v. State of Georgia. US, U.S. Supreme Court. 30: 1.
A suit to prevent Georgia from extending state law over the Cherokee lands within its borders. In the majority opinion Justice Marshall declared Indian tribes in the US to be "domestic dependent nations" that do not have true sovereignty. Lacking sovereign nation status, the Court did not have original jurisdiction for this case and the Cherokee case was dismissed. Justice Thompson dissented, saying that the Cherokee have always been treated by the federal government as independent nations, so their case had merit and the Court had jurisdiction.

(1832). Worcester v. State of Georgia. US, Supreme Court. 31: 515.
Worcester, a missionary to the Cherokee Nation in Georgia, sued on a writ of error, claiming that the Georgia law which had convicted him was unconstitutional. The law forbade white settlement on Cherokee lands unless the individual swore loyalty to Georgia. Georgia claimed its state law extended onto Cherokee territory. The denial of this claim was the basis of Worcester's case. Writing for the majority, Justice Marshall said that Georgia had no legal basis for extending its laws on Indian nations, an act which was counter to the Intercourse Act of 1802. Since only Congress had the power to regulate commerce with Indians, the Georgia law was unconstitutional and void.

They were called "Black Blizzards," dark clouds reaching miles into the sky, churning millions of tons of dirt into torrents of destruction. For ten years beginning in 1930, dust storms ravaged the parched and overplowed Southern Plains, turning bountiful wheat fields into desert. Disease, hardship and death followed, yet the majority of people stayed on, steadfastly refusing to give up on the land and a way of life.
(1998). The Bikini Atoll. Berkeley, Universtiy of California Extension Center for Media and Independent Learning.
On July 1, 1946, less than a year after atomic bombs destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the U.S. military began a program of 12 years of nuclear testing at Bikini Atoll, in the Marshall Islands in the South Pacific. This poignant documentary places the massive Bikini nuclear experiment in historical context and explores its enduring legacy on Bikini and on the exiled Pacific Island people who once inhabited it.
The film covers a 50-year period, from the forced exodus of the Bikinians to the current clean-up and resettlement efforts. It includes archival footage of the nuclear tests, interviews with scientists who developed the bombs used at Bikini, and first-hand accounts from Bikinians who were forcibly displaced to other islands.
The film relates the political squabbles between the Army and Navy in the midst of the testing, shows the devastating effects of the series of nuclear explosions, and examines the conflicting visions of the future of Bikini and its native people. The film also includes spectacular underwater footage of the large naval “atomic graveyard” (now the basis of a scuba-diving resort run by Bikinians) left by the testing, and documents the mixed success of the $90 million decontamination and repopulation program.

Baker gives a largely prima fascie discussion of the IMMSWU strike in the early 1950s at Silver City, Arizona. The movie Salt of the Earth was based on this strike. Baker discusses how the strike was a source of pride for Chicano workers and how women assumed a large role in organizing the strike. Ultimately the strike improved race relations within the IMMSWU as whites gave positions within the organization to Chicanos.

Brückner argues that because geography was placed in the curriculum of early nineteenth century primary education, children of this period grew up as young imperialists. Brückner finds the synthesis of this argument in an 1820s British review, which found that by putting maps in students' hands, they were fostering a taste for expansion. This popular craving, they asserted, led to the will to territorialize. Brückner examined primers (both geographical and general) and pedagogical sources from the period to determine that this was very liekly the case. Moreover, he discovered that general literacy instruction frequently included geography lessons which could inspire a "beligerent territoriality"--of an intellectual rather than actual variety. Students typically learned about the larger territoriality of the "American continent" before regional placenames. Geographic instruction was, thus, a crucial part in the formation of national cohesion and the shared belief in a manifest destiny to expend the borders.

Burns, K. and G. C. Ward (1997). Thomas Jefferson.
Part One: A young Thomas Jefferson from the Virginia wilderness is transformed by the fire of the enlightenment into his country's most articulate voice for human liberty. Torn between serene family personal loss, even as he gives voiced to a new era of democratic government. He then journeys to Paris as U.S. Minister to France for George Washington and supports the rising French Revolution.
Part Two: Returning from France, Jefferson strives to preserve they new, fragile American government and helps create the first political party through his bitter struggles with the Federalists. As third President of the United States, he doubles the size of the country with the Louisiana Purchase, but laces controversy and scandal, finally retiring to his beloved Monticello. His last years are spent founding the University of Virginia and re-establishing his friendship with John Adams. By the end of his remarkable life, he had advanced the cause of religious, political, and intellectual freedom everywhere and hand changed the course of human events.

This documentary mini-series presents the story of how the West was lost and won, from the time of the Gold Rush in 1848 until the last gasp of the Indian Wars at Wounded Knee in 1893, when the West was settled, subdued, exploited, and incorporated into the American empire. Lakotas, Cheyennes, Kiowas, Poncas, Apaches, Nez Perces, and Utes fought back, then watched as everything they had was taken from them, their way of life all but destroyed.

Examining the labor/capital/strikebusting triangle from the perspective of state troops, DeStefanis finds evidence that some Colorado guardsmen saw their work in strikebreaking as bringing civilization to the state. Like Ronning, he sees strikebreaking activities as the natural continuation of the Indian Wars, just with different opponents. Instead of battling a red-skinned menace, troops were battling a "red, anarchist" menace in order to preserve capitalism on the plains.

Foner, E. (1983). Nothing But Freedom: Emancipation and Its Legacy. Baton Rouge, Louisiana State University Press.
"Nothing But Freedom" probes the aftermatch of emancipation in the South, the restructuring of society by which the former slaves gained, beyond their freedom, a new relation to the land they worked on, to the men they worked for, and to the government they lived under. Taking a comparative approach, Eric Foner examines Reconstruction in the souther states against the experience of Haiti, where a violent slave revolt was followed by the imposition of a system of forced labor; in the British Caribbean, where the colonial government oversaw a rapid transition from slavery to the creation of an almost totally dependent, powerless work force; and in early twentieth-century southern and eastern Afreica, where a self-sufficient peasantry was dispossessed in order to create a dependent black work force.
Many scholars, Foner finds, have lost sight of the essential radicalism of Reconstruction. Measuring the progress of freedmen in the post-Civil War South against that of freedmen in other recently emancipated societies, "Nothing But Freedom" reveals Reconstruction to have been, despite its failings, a unique and dramatic exerpeiment in interracial democracy in the aftermath of slavery.

By examining depositions of Revolutionary-era veterans given after the war, Prof. Knouff argues that the Revolutionary war galvanized frontier whites toward reactively thinking about local concerns in terms of race. While property and ethnicity played a large role in frontier interactions before the Revolution, the employment of Naive Americans in the service of the British led white inhabitants to focus primarily on local defense collectively. Thus "whiteness" supplanted ethnicity as the primary factor in determining "Americanness". Knouff calls this "biological citizenship" and sees it developing during the war. He asserts (mildly in his paper but in more detail in the original source, he says) that this new focus on race leads Northerners and Southerners alike to adopt more color-concious legislation after the war.
Interestingly one can see in Knouff's paper the Turnerian belief that the frontier caused the development of immediacy and white-male democracy in the developing nation.

In 1990 Bill Reilly vetoed the Two Forks Dam on the South Platte River, which the Devenver Water Department was relying on to satisfy domestic water consumption. Reilly's actions, which were based on the new administration's pro-environment outlook, forced Denver to enact dramatic water conservation measures. Environmentalists and the DWD are claiming victory in the battle to stay within the limits of available water without hurting growth, but all parties recognize that expansion of the outer suburbs may bring the issue of damming and West Slope water into the spotlight again.

Excerpted...
"I recently enrolled a teenager who is 1/128th Indian, but he's more
Indian than a half-blood or a full blood who doesn't live here," she
said. "It's a question of cultural identity. But who am I to say? My
mother speaks Cherokee. I understand some words. My kids don't, and my
grandkids won't. I can't say who's an Indian and who's not anymore."
As more Americans say they are, Hastings Shade, the Cherokee Nation's
deputy chief, sees the fulfillment of a prophecy. A Cherokee legend tells
of a white snake that devours Indian land and people. Many generations
later, a young Indian learns its ways and drives a stake through its
heart.
"In the end," the legend concludes, "only Indian blood will be left, and
people will be lining up to try to prove they have Indian blood."
"In the legend, it took 14 generations," Shade said.
For the Cherokee Nation, that milestone came just a few years ago when it
enrolled a new member whose Indian ancestor was 14 generations removed.

Passengers on a stagecoach heading for Lordsburg, New Mexico have a rough trip, during which Curly, the sheriff who is riding shotgun, arrests the Ringo Kid, who has broken out of prison to shoot it out with the Plummer brothers. Enroute, one passenger, a young officer's wife, gives birth, with the aid of the Dr. Boone, an alcoholic and Dallas, a beautiful woman of questionable repute. Shortly thereafter, the stagecoach is attacked by Apaches. When they finally arrive in Lordsburg, Curly allows Ringo to settle his dispute, and make a getaway with Dallas, with whom he has fallen in love.

In their estimation of their organized workers, industrialists in the West often took a civilization-versus-savage point of view. This resembled the prevailing national attitudes toward Native Americans. Ronning claims that by doing so, capitalists, soldiers, and lawmen sought to absolve themselves of the savageness which they used to surpress labor organization (especially among the IWW). Ronning sees this as a permutation of xenophobia after World War I; when "Indian hating" ended, the prejudice simply shifted from Native Americans to labor. Labor was sometimes refered to as the "savage working classes." Native Americans themselves became something of a "shadow self" to some labor organizers, embodying what was good and noble about early America.

Profiles historian Angie Debo who, in the course of her research, discovered that Indians in Oklahoma had been swindled out of their land allotments by unscrupulous white people, some of whom were major political figures. Publishers refused to print her book detailing this discovery for years, until Princeton University did in 1950. Debo continued writing about Indian history, devoting her career to telling the story of how U.S. government policies have destroyed the Indian way of life.

Schulten focuses her paper on the popular consumption of maps in the late nineteenth through mid twentieth centuries. She finds that, in general, American maps were inferior in readability than their European counterparts and did not show much more than placenames and political/physical boundaries. Some maps which she studied from Rand McNally and the National Geographic Society are, in fact, almost unreadable because of the amount of information that mapmakers attempted to cram into their charts. In the 1930's Goode's student atlas marked a dramatic change from this style. Aimed at usefulness beyond political geography, Goode abandoned the Mercator projection and moved the United States from the middle of the map and back into the western hemisphere. Traditional mapmakers countered that they were producing maps which depicted the "way that the world should be seen."

Williams, F. (2001). Plains Sense. High Country News. Paonia, CO: 1,8-11.
Explores the depopulation of the Great Plains and the changing attitudes toward the "Buffalo Commons" as proposed by Frank and Deborah Popper. Williams notes that the depopulation of the Plains and the re-emergence of a frontier in the interior of the nation is "Manifest Destiny in reverse. . . . The frontier is not only surviving, it is also expanding at rates unprecedented since the Dust Bowl. If Turner though taming the frontier helped define American values and character, what does it say about us that we have failed? Did Western communities ever really exist as separate and insulated from urban markets and corporate or federal capital?" The Poppers assert that the only way to retain any sustainable population in the arid Plains is to cultivate its primitive, ruggededness, namely buffalo.

Jack Crabb is 121 years old. And he's done it all. He's been a full-fledged Cheyenne, an Indian fighter, a snake oil merchant, master gunman, drinking buddy of Wild Bill Hickok, colleague of Buffalo Bill, and is the only survivor of Custer's Last Stand. Crabb is either the Old West's most neglected hero or the biggest liar ever to cross the Mississippi.
