"The land allotment program of the Dawes Act was a total failure in terms of improving conditions for Native Americans.
The Dawes Severalty Act, also called the General Allotment Act, was passed by the U.S. Congress in 1887. The Act stipulated that Native Americans give up their tribal lands in return for individual land grants. Sponsored by Senator Henry Laurens Dawes, the Dawes Act was intended to promote the integration of the Indians into the homesteading way of life. The main effect of the Dawes Act, however, was to open up Indian territory to white settlers. As a land-rich tribe, the Sioux Nation was particularly vulnerable to changes in federal government land policy. Consequently, the Sioux lost a significant portion of their tribal lands as a result of the Dawes Act.

The Dawes Act of 1887 was the most important piece of.."

Abstract
The paper identifies and analyzes Eudora Welty's writing techniques in "Death of a Traveling Salesman", "Why I live at the P.O", "A Worn Path", "Lilly Daw and the Three Ladies", and "The Hitch-Hikers". The paper describes how Welty portrays people living in the South with an outsider's perspective. The paper relates that she does not use characters as tragic figures and illustrates how the detail Welty adds almost brings her characters to life. The paper also shows how Welty utilizes sarcasm and satire and seems to include a solitary theme and a theme of hopelessness in her works.

From the Paper
"The 1930's were difficult times in America. The Great Depression was at its worst, and American's were beginning to give up hope for improvement. Part of President Roosevelt's New Deal, the Works Progress Administration employed over 8 million Americans. One of which was Eudora Welty, a Mississippi photographer. Through the program, Mrs. Welty had her first story published and began her career as a writer of Southern Modernism. In her first published collection, Eudora Welty is praised for her story, "The Worn Path" that fits the mold perfectly of her well-known Modernistic style. Eudora Welty, a Mississippi woman, began her job at the WPA taking photographs. As an acclaimed photographer, she took photos of The Depression the way that is actually was. Inspired by her exposure to everyday life in the Southern Depression Era, Welty began writing fiction. (Cr.nps.gov)"

Abstract
This paper examines how the history of the Native American is fraught with attempts to assimilate and with acts of dispossession and how the indigenous culture is multi-faceted. It looks at how Melissa Meyer, in her book, "The White Earth Tragedy", argues that Minnesota's White Earth Reservation of the Anishinaabe, or Chippewa, could have been an experimental showcase for assimilation, how the Dawes Act went awry, and how the Anishinaabe were dispossessed of their land and its resources.

From the Paper
"The Anishinaabe people were originally composed of a number of bands whose migratory habits brought them into contact with one another only on occasion. The introduction of settlers or Euroamericans (mainly French) into the area brought yet another element into their society. By the end of the nineteenth century there existed two major factions among the Chippewa of Minnesota: those of mixed blood and full blood conservatives. The Metis or mixed blood members of the tribe were interested in following the course set down by the government. They advocated assimilation and the inclusion of Western marketing. The conservatives, on the other hand, thought to preserve the integrity of the "old ways" by following the cultural agenda of tradition."

Abstract
The paper discusses the Trail of Tears as a harbinger of what was to come in the century ahead as attempts were made to make Native Americans into model American citizens. The paper explains that in addition to the physical force and relocation, Native Americans also had to combat the terrible weapon of disease and suffer murders by vigilantes, and so their population dropped significantly. The paper notes the similarities between the racial subordination of the Native Americans and the blacks and also addresses the Dawes Severalty Act of 1887 and the fact that children were taken from their parents and sent to white Christian boarding schools. The paper clearly shows how the Whites only succeeded in settling the American West at the expense of the region's indigenous peoples.

From the Paper
"When the American settlers began moving westward at the beginning of the 19th century, they saw the Indian nations as a major obstacle to their new frontier lives. In 1830, President Jackson signed the "Indian Removal Act," giving him power to negotiate treaties with Indians east of the Mississippi to exchange their land for lands to the west. Few Cherokee agreed to move, and they were given two years to migrate voluntarily. Just 2,000 had migrated by 1838, and 16,000 stayed on their original land. The federal government sent 7,000 troops to coerce them to leave. They were not given time to collect their belongings, which the whites looted. This began the Trail of Tears, a march westward where 4,000 Cherokees died of cold, hunger, and disease (Ehle 1997). For the Native Americans, this deathly migration was a harbinger of what was to come in the century ahead as attempts were made to make them model American citizens.
"One of the major concerns of the settlers was how to eliminate the rebelliousness of the Indians, who refused to be relegated to their new reservations in the West and to accept the ways of the white pioneers. There were those who truly many who believed the saying, "The only good Indian is a dead Indian." More "humane" were individuals such as Richard Pratt, who was concerned about the way the Indians were being treated, but for the wrong reasons."

Abstract
This paper examines the formative laws that set in motion the creation of Indian reservations in America. From there, the paper explores the attitudes that made seemingly racist laws appear intuitive and even desirable. The paper notes how selfishness - in addition to paternalism - explains the determination to shove natives onto reservations; the paper uses the Dawes Act of 1887 as proof of both this paternalistic streak and, more obviously, as proof of the ill intentions of American legislators as they greedily explored new ways of gobbling up tribal lands and resources.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the Treaty of Versailles, which was signed after the end of World War I and questions its nature in relation to the problems it caused 20th Century Europe. It looks at how the treaty, which the allies forced upon the Germans in 1919, has been one of the most controversial political acts of the twentieth century and how on almost every aspect can be seen as a failure, although it did provide Europe with twenty years of peace from 1919 to 1939. It examines such issues as reparations forced on the Germans who could not pay and the territorial changes that were made in Europe. It evaluates how the treaty was too harsh upon the Germans and how it caused resentment amongst them, which Hitler skilfully brought to the surface.

From the Paper
"The other key feature of Versailles was the reparations which the allies believed that the Germans had to pay. These ranged from the modest to the ridiculous. The French believed 200 million German Marks would be the minimum that the Germans would have to pay. Both Britain and France wanted reparations, by France desperately needed them, as the war had left the French economy in ruins. Therefore the French aims with Versailles was to hamstring the German economy in such a way that the Germans would have paid for France's war and left themselves bankrupt. To the French this was the ideal situation, as a bankrupt Germany would pose no threat to the safety of France. However the French could not see that by hamstringing the German economy, the whole of the European economy would be wrecked."

Abstract
The League of Nations, which lasted from 1920 to 1946, was born out American outrage over the idea that Americans were sacrificing increasing numbers of men towards making the world safe for democracy while Europeans were concerned with potential war booty. This paper traces the beginnings of the League with Woodrow Wilson's "Fourteen Points", his intentional exclusion of Russia and Germany from the League and the part the League played in causing the Second World War.

From the Paper
"Americans distrusted foreign alliances after the revelation of the secret treaties and subsequent revelations that most of the horror stories of German atrocities that encouraging America's entry into the war had been fabricated in London. (Brinkley, p. 358.) Whether or not America's participation in the League of Nations could have prevented World War II is a matter of speculation, but Wilson predicted the possibility as he fruitlessly campaigned for his cause. The complex issues leading to World War II were based in the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles that included reparations of $32 billion. The forces in Germany that had pursued policies of world domination before 1914 remained powerful and expectant; the German right denied there had been any Allied victory."

Abstract
This paper provides a history of digital recording technology, from the advent of digital technologies in the late 1960s to the development of modern digital recording technologies like CDs, DVDs, MP3 files and others. The benefits of this transition from analog to digital technologies are provided.

From the Paper
"In 'Getting into Digital Recording' Paul D Lehrman asserts Digital recording had revolutionized the world of audio in the last decade and a half. Just about any recorded music you hear today has existed in a digital format somewhere along the way. Despite the ubiquitous nature of digital recording technologies their history is relatively recent. Until the sixties all recording technology relied on a physical analog. Formerly only motion picture studios or large recording studios could afford digital recording."
