Respond to these 2 classmates posts it is not a critique of their post however putting your input and more knowledgepost 1 Skylar Pogue posted Jul 30, 2020 6:48 PMSubscribeDeduce what is meant by the sentence, “The willingness of the federal and territorial officials to commit themselves to such an expense, not to mention the cost in lives and property, demonstrated clearly their preferred solution to the ‘Indian problem.’”To me this clearly means that no matter the amount of lives that were lost, the government would obtain more land and solve their “Indian problem” by killing or removing Indians from their lands. We saw that cost was no issue when President Lincoln promised 2 million dollars to move all Indians from Minnesota. This is not the first nor only time millions have been spent to kill or remove natives, if we look back at the beginning of this module, the State of California paid roughly 1.7 million for the scalps of murdered natives. Money wasn’t only paid to those who killed or removed the Indians but it was also paid to those who went out killing Indians main food source, the bison, saying “Kill every buffalo you can! Every buffalo dead is an Indian gone.”Blakemore, Erin. “California's Little-Known Genocide.” History.com, A&E Television Networks, 16 Nov. 2017, www.history.com/news/californias-little-known-genocide.Post 2 Tatiana D'Angelo posted Jul 30, 2020 9:22 PMSubscribeDeduce what is meant by the sentence, “The willingness of the federal and territorial officials to commit themselves to such an expense, not to mention the cost in lives and property, demonstrated clearly their preferred solution to the ‘Indian problem.’”When I read this sentence I picture an educated, rational minded person but most likely man at the time trying to possibly lay out some ideas how to handle the Indian situation. But looking through some of the reports and descriptions of what had transpired between the Indians and the local government "state" and the federal representation "Washington" was very obvious on where there option actually stood. So the not so mildly sarcastic statement that I see was there to basically say that those people made there decision on how they were going to handle the "Indian problem". Phippen, J. Weston.

Be succinct and specific to this course and what you’re learningIdentify the author, the page number and the direct quote (if you are quoting).For example (and you may use this format until you get comfortable with your own voice):As I read hook’s text the following quote seemed particularly relevant to me, “We must courageously challenge the privileged who aggressively see to deny the disadvantaged a chance to change their lot” (p. 99). How is it that we are still having this conversation around who gets what and why in 2018? This was written in 2000, and in my own naïveté, I have always assumed that people generally want to help others. I think this connects directly to Baldwin’s “A Talk to Teachers” and it seems that the same people are talking about the same issues and ideasSecond Assignment Revisionist History: Listen to the Podcast by Malcom Gladwell, titled, “Miss Buchanan’s Period Of Adjustment”. Listen to it very carefully. When you are finished, think about the messages the Gladwell wants you to take away from the story(ies). How does this connect to the ideas that you have noted in your Take-Aways? Write a thoughtful response (200-300 words) to the following (and any other) questions:Why is it important for us to look at historical events with different lenses (than we have to date)?What does it mean to our constructed narratives when we do?How does your vision of “things I know to be true in the past” change when you’re given new insights and stories? What changes? How does it change?How will you use these ideas moving forward in the course?How does this idea of "knowing" history show up in the readings for the course so far (cite a specific example)
