Presentation transcript:

Frederick Jackson Turner’s Frontier Thesis “American social development has been continually beginning over again on the frontier. This perennial rebirth, this fluidity of American life, this expansion westward with its new opportunities, its continuous touch with the simplicity of primitive society, furnish the forces dominating American character....In the crucible of the frontier the immigrants were Americanized, liberated, and fused into a mixed race, English in neither nationality nor characteristics...." Believed that the frontier was the basis of the American identity – self-reliance, innovation, adaptation, independence, and opportunity The frontier is unique to America

The Homestead Act: Citizens could claim 160 acres of government land west of the Mississippi Pay a small filing fee Must improve the land Must build a dwelling After five years, the land became theirs, free of charge.

What features make a sod house look like a regular house? Why was this type of structure popular for pioneers to build as their homes? What possible problems may arise for sodbusters out on the plains?

The Indian Wars

White settlers clashed with local tribes over land and customs Treaties were signed that began the reservation system Not signed by real “chief” Cheated out of compensation promised to them

Battle of Little Bighorn (AKA: Custer’s Last Stand) Battle against a united Sioux nation Led by “Crazy Horse” and “Sitting Bull” Refused to go to the reservation. U.S. Army crushed by Indian forces One of the few Indian victories

Nez Perce Led by Chief Joseph Fled placement on the reservation Caught and defeated at the Battle of Bear Paw 40% died once on the reservation “From where the sun now stands I will fight no more Forever.” - Chief Joseph Apache Geronimo – fierce fighter Caught and made a “prisoner of war” by the U.S. Government

The “Ghost Dance” Sioux tribe religious dance Celebrated a hoped-for where whites would be cast out of Indian lands Prompted the Battle of Wounded Knee Not a battle but a massacre: 200+ Indians were killed, essentially killed for dancing. This marked the end of the Indian Wars.

The Dawes Act Gave each head of household 160 acres of reservation land for farming Citizenship could be earned after 25 years Meant to kill the Indian way of life Carlisle Indian School: Boarding schools where Indian children were taught white culture “Kill the Indian, save the child”

Towns of 5,000 people sprang up almost overnight
