Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Iowa Journal of History and Politics, Vol. 14: 1916 Since the time when the first white settlers landed in America there has been almost constant friction between the aboriginal inhabitants and the newcomers. Along the line of the constantly receding frontier the two races have faced each other for centuries - sometimes as open enemies, and always as rivals. The various national and State governments in North America have struggled with the problem of pacifying and protecting the Indians without permanently checking the advance of the pioneers. The treachery of which the white people have been accused has been, for the most part, due to the struggle between these opposing forces - the desire of the government to satisfy the Indians, at least temporarily, and the irresistible expansion of the white race. When the English colonists first came in contact with the natives three lines of procedure were open to them: (1) to recognize the sovereignty of the Indian tribes and their ownership of the land; (2) to recognize their political sovereignty without recognizing their right to the soil; or (3) to refuse to treat with them as independent nations in any way.
