The blog that i found during class was an article called The Indian written in The Weekly Arizona, July 17, 1869. It is events from the January 1868 to the present day of 1869. he article is about everything that the Indians have done wrong. All of their killings and stealing. There are certain points that describe the Indians taking 200 mules and horses from someone else's farm. Looking at the list the Indians would kill at least 2 men and then would take some cattle,mules, or horses, always alternating. It says that sometimes they would just kill for fun if there was ever a mild argument. Just to think of this it was a killing spree over 18 months that the government did not help to stop.
Having all these unfortunate events happen around me is just frightening. i don't feel safe anymore. what am i supposed to do if an Indian comes my way and tries to kill me? i have no weapon to use for protection, Indians have killed many of my friends and have even stole from many. they mostly steal animals and never any other valuables.But i am scared to walk outside of my house, i just want this to stop. that is why i am okay if the military aids the Indians. i would rather be able to make some settlement on what to agree on, but unfortunately that is not possible.
I totally agree that indians were treated awfully back then!
ReplyDeleteI agree, most people did not think highly of the Indians because of the harsh things they had done.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you are saying. This is written beautifully. The way the indians were treated makes me sad. :(
