John O”Sullivan wrote of the unique mission of Americans, but
also a belief in America as the vessel of the progress of
civilization. “Away, away with all these cobweb tissues of rights
of discovery, exploration, settlement, contiguity….Our claim is
by the right of our manifest destiny to overspread and to possess
the whole of the continent which Providence has given us for the
development of the great experiment of liberty and federative
self government entrusted to us.”

Notes
Between 1869-76 there were more than 200 conflicts between indians and the
United states army. The Plains Indians who had horses were bold and could
win isolated victories, as when Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse massacred
General Custers troops totally in the battle of Little Big Horn 1876.But every
victory lead to a more intense warfare from the whites. The Apache chief
Geronimos capitulation in 1886, the murder of Sitting Bull in 1890 and the

Summary
For eight years dust blew on the southern plains. It came in a
yellowish-brown haze from the South and in rolling walls of
black from the North. The simplest acts of life — breathing,
eating a meal, taking a walk — were no longer simple.
Children wore dust masks to and from school, women hung
wet sheets over windows in a futile attempt to stop the dirt.
farmers watched helplessly as their crops blew away.
