The Wounded Knee Massacre was the last major armed conflict between the Great Sioux Nation and the United States of America, and was later described as a "massacre" in a letter to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. [1] On December 29, 1890, the cavalry troops of the U.S. 7th Cavalry opened fire, also using four Hotchkiss guns (capable of firing two pound explosive shells, fifty times per minute), against a surrounded encampment of Minneconjou Lakota Sioux, while cavalry troops were disarming them. Since the very thorough disarmament ...

Rasta, or the Rastafari movement, is a religious movement that accepts Haile Selassie I, the former emperor of Ethiopia, as King of Kings, Lord of Lords and the Lion of Judah as Jah (the Rastafari name for God, from a shortened form of Jehovah found in Psalm 68:4 in the King James Version of the Bible), and part of the Holy Trinity. The name Rastafari comes from Ras Täfäri, the pre-coronation name of Haile Selassie I. The movement emerged in Jamaica among working-class and peasant black people in the earl ...

The two most famous anti-Tom books are The Sword and the Distaff by William Gilmore Simms and The Planter's Northern Bride by Caroline Lee Hentz. Simms' The Sword and the Distaff came out only a few months after Stowe's novel and contains a number of sections and discussions that clearly debate Stowe's book and view of slavery. The novel focuses on the Revolutionary War and its aftermath through the lives of Captain Porgy and one of his slaves [2]. Simms novel w ...

In 1823 Decatur was founded at the intersection of two Native American trails. The town was named for naval hero Stephen Decatur. In the 1830s, the Western and Atlantic Railroad wanted to make Decatur the southernmost stop on its railroad. The citizens of Decatur did not want the noise, pollution and growth that would come with such a major terminal, so they rejected the proposal. In response, the railroad founded a new city to the west-southwest of Decatur for the terminal. This town wo ...

There are least five touristless suburban "Chinatowns" east of the old Chinatown, all contained within the San Gabriel Valley. While they contain prominent Chinese-language signage, these communities do not feature the Chinese-style gateways found in Chinatown. They have become renowned for their varieties of Chinese cuisine. They are unlike the Chinatown, Los Angeles or Chinatown, San Francisco, in which the latter is undoubtedly still the largest in North America. Indeed this "Chinatown" tends to be suburban style strip malls and shopping ...

White flight has been taking place in many American cities and regions, especially in the Northeastern, Midwestern, and Western sections of the United States, since the 1950s. The effects of white flight have been significant for the cities that have been affected by this phenomenon, especially in Detroit, St. Louis, and New Orleans, each of which lost more than half of their peak populations largely due to white flight. In New York City many whites have moved from parts of the Bronx and Brooklyn to Staten Island, suburban Long Island ...

Outside of some isolated and relatively minor examples in former colonies in Africa, such as Orania in South Africa, white separatism remains primarily a reaction in the United States to the American Civil Rights Movement. White flight, as a passive reaction to that movement, has an active counterpart in white separatism. Contemporary white separatism is therefore conflated with active reactions to the civil rights movement ...

Most languages indigenous to regions that came into contact with Spaniards are deeply influenced by the Spanish language. These languages include Tagalog of the Philippines, Chamorro of the Marianas, and most noticeably the indigenous languages of the Americas, in particular Quechua and Guaraní. All of these, however, are NOT creole languages. Apart from the generous borrowings from Spanish and various other languages, they remain fundamentally native in gr ...

Some writers point to Kipling's history of satirical writing, and propose that The White Man's Burden is in fact a sly work of satire that undermines imperial aspirations. Chris Snodgrass, in A Companion to Victorian Poetry (Blackwell, Oxford, 2002), describes Kipling's poetry as problematising "imperial sensibilities with wry irony and scepticism, viewing all human endeavour as ultimately transitory." Alzina Stone Dale (in Outline of Sanity, iUniverse, 2005) recognises that the poem has been used to encourage pow ...

While there is no existing Australian government policy that segregates Aborigines, their poor socio-economic conditions typically leave them somewhat segregated from the rest of Australian society. This situation has led a number of commentators and civil rights groups to characterize the situation as Apartheid. [1][2][3] In fact, Australia's government policies are viewed by some as the original impetus for the Apartheid system in South Africa. [4][5][6] Additionally, Australia's new anti-terrorism laws have been likened to the Apar ...

Sometime in 1890, Jack Wilson, a Native American religious leader, claimed that during the total eclipse of the sun on January 1, 1889, he experienced a revelation that identified him as the messiah of his people. The spiritual movement he subsequently established became known as the Ghost Dance, a syncretic mix of Paiute spiritualism and Shaker Christianity. Although Wilson preached that earthquakes would be sent to kill all white people, he also taught that until judgment day, Native A ...

Rastafari developed amongst very poor people, who felt society had nothing to offer them except more suffering. Rastas see themselves as conforming to a vision of how Africans should live, reclaiming what they see as a culture stolen from them when they were brought on slave ships to Jamaica, birthplace of the movement. The doctrines of Rastafari depart radically from the norms of the modern western mind, something encouraged deliberately by the Rastas themselves. Unlike many modern religious and Christian groups that tend to stress c ...

Rastafari movement - Marcus Garvey. Rastas see Marcus Garvey as a prophet, even a second John the Baptist according to some. One of the most famous prophecies attributed to him involving the coronation of Haile Selassie I was the 1927 pronouncement "Look to Africa, for there a king shall be crowned," though an associate of Garvey's, James Morris Webb, had made very similar public statements as early as 1921.[1][2] Marcus Garvey promoted Pan-Africanism, the belief that all black people of the world should join in ...
