Chief Joseph of the Nez Pearce


When his father died in 1871, Joseph was elected to succeed him. He inherited not only a name but a situation made increasingly volatile as white settlers continued to arrive in the Wallowa Valley. Joseph staunchly resisted all efforts to force his band onto the small Idaho reservation, and in 1873 a federal order to remove white settlers and let his people remain in the Wallowa Valley made it appear that he might be successful. But the federal government soon reversed itself, and in 1877 General Oliver Otis Howard threatened a cavalry attack to force Joseph's band and other hold-outs onto the reservation. Believing military resistance futile, Joseph reluctantly led his people toward Idaho.

Joseph's fame did him little good. Although he had surrendered with the understanding that he would be allowed to return home, Joseph and his people were instead taken first to eastern Kansas and then to a reservation in Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) where many of them died of epidemic diseases. Although he was allowed to visit Washington, D.C., in 1879 to plead his case to U.S. President Rutherford B. Hayes, it was not until 1885 that Joseph and the other refugees were returned to the Pacific Northwest. Even then, half, including Joseph, were taken to a non-Nez Percé reservation in northern Washington, separated from the rest of their people in Idaho and their homeland in the Wallowa Valley.

Oskanondonha


English speakers wrote his name in a bewildering variety of ways including Skenando, Skenandoa, and Skonondon. Among the translations given for this name are Aged Hemlock, Ghost Faced, and Running Deer. His real name, pronounced (H)o-ska-non-don-ha, means the Deer. He took the Christian name John when baptized, probably in the 1760s.

He must have epitomized the ideals of leadership to an extraordinary degree. Freedom-loving Oneidas obeyed their chiefs only to the extent that the leaders continued to be respected and to inspire confidence. Both sachems and chief warriors were expected to be generous and so selflessly concerned for the common good that they would consider the interests of those unborn seven generations into the future. All Oneida leaders worked hard and quietly to build consensus on important issues. The Oneidas respected the ancient titles and traditions of the sachems but took a practical view of leadership.

The Oneida Nation chose to support the colonists' fight for liberty during the Revolutionary War. Oneidas contributed greatly to the American victory and sacrificed much for their stand. Their part in the war is still neglected by historians.

The Oneida Nation sent its warriors to battlegrounds ranging from Valley Forge, PA to the Canadian border of New York during the Revolution.The price paid by the Oneida Nation for this stand is almost beyond comprehension. They lost their homes and property, they endured starvation, disease, and the sometimes violent bigotry of their allies; and they lost the lives of at least a third of their people. At the most crucial moment of the conflict, in the decisive year of war, the Oneidas stood forth and played a strategically significant role in the American Revolution.
Oskanondonha played a key role in the Oneida decision to back the American cause. This was common knowledge in his time. As noted in his obituary: "In the Revolutionary War, his influence induced the Oneidas to take up arms in favor of the Americans."


Tecumseh (and his brother, the Prophet)


On 5 October 1813, Tecumseh (also known as Tecumthe), the leader of an Indian confederacy, died at the Battle of The Thames. Before his death, Tecumseh wielded more power than any other North American Indian before him did, and no other Indian after him would ever come close to his domination. His power was not due to the number of his followers, but on the strategic importance and potential that the confederation held along the western frontier. The Indians that joined him came from thirty-two tribes and his authority spread across an area of nearly half a million square miles, greater in size than the United States itself in 1812. The death of Tecumseh shook the various Indian tribes to their very roots. Although they would not know this until years later, his death signaled the beginning of the end of any large-scale organized Indian resistance in North America. His death also ended Indian support to the British in the western theater of operations during the War of 1812. When Tecumseh died, the British did not lose a subservient Indian leader, but a man more powerful and capable than any British officer in the western theater. The Americans won not only the Battle of the Thames when he died, but also the western theater.

Tecumseh was an Indian who believed in retaining the traditional ways, he preferred the traditional tomahawk and bow and arrow over the British guns and rifles. However, he was not foolhardy enough to not recognize their power. He also despised the influence that the Americans had on the Indian way of life. Indians continued to slaughter animals in the forests for their fur and were at the mercy of white traders. When he died in 1813, so did his dream of the United Native American Nation.

Tenskwatawa, Tecumseh's younger brother, joined him in his dream of peace. Tenskwatawa believed the Great Spirit had given him magic powers and that he could tell the future. This is why he is referred to as the Prophet. Late in 1811 Harrison led one thousand men to attack Tippecanoe. Tenekwatawa told the Indians that his magic powers would protect them from the gunpowder. Many Indians died in the battle.


Andrew Jackson


Andrew Jackson gained fame as a national hero in the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812. The victory gave America a major morale boost, even though it came after the Treaty of Ghent was signed. Americans would remember Jackson's heroics 14 years later when they elected him as the 7th President in the Election of 1828. Before his presidency, Jackson was a supporter for Indian removal. Following orders from President Monroe, Jackson pursued a military campaign into Spanish Florida in 1818. Jackson was especially vengeful of the
Seminoles for harboring runaway slaves. From 1818 to 1824 Jackson played a major role in seven Indian removal treaties. In the treaties, the Indians agreed to voluntary migration to lands in the west. In this way, the U.S. obtained sizable land in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky and Florida. As president, Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act which called for the resettlement of thousands of Native Americans in lands west of the Mississippi. The Cherokees challenged the coercive act in the Supreme Court. In the Cherokee Nation v. Georgia case, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Georgia citing that the Cherokees was not a foreign nation. In a second case, Worcester v. Georgia however, the Supreme Court overruled the previous decision by concluding that Georgia had no jurisdiction within the Cherokee territory. This was a decisive victory for the Cherokees that was short-lived. President Jackson countered by saying, "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it." Jackson's attitude toward Native Americans was paternalistic and patronizing. Jackson saw the Native Americans was children in need of adult guidance. During his presidency, Jackson's administration succeeded at relocating 46,000 Native Americans.

Abraham Lincoln


The president during the beginning of the Reconstruction period (as well as during the Civil War), who formulated the 10% plan, which stated that if 10% of the white voters in a former state pledged loyalty to the Union, it would be readmitted. However, it is clear that Lincoln did not intend that this 10 percent plan be followed for all of the former Confederate States. In fact, he intended for this ten percent plan to be applied to states such as Louisiana and Texas, whereas for North Carolina and Virgina he was willing to use old rebel governments in the transition from war to peace. He clearly opposed the appointment of
carpetbaggers for office in the South; instead he supported allowing Southern states to work out a proper integrated government for themselves. A program of education for the freedmen, he thought, was essential for preparing them for their new status. He also suggested that the vote be given immediately to some Negroes--"as, for instance, the very intelligent, and especially those who have fought gallantly in our ranks." On the question of reconstruction, however, Lincoln and the extremists of his own party stood even farther apart in early 1865 than a year before. Some of the radicals were beginning to demand a period of military occupation for the South, the confiscation of planter estates and their division among the freedmen, and the transfer of political power from the planters to their former slaves. Prior to his death it seemed that Lincoln was indeed moving over closer to these radical views.

Andrew Johnson


The looming showdown between
Lincoln and the Congress over competing reconstruction plans never occurred. The President was assassinated on April 14, 1865. His successor, Andrew Johnson of Tennessee, lacked his predecessor’s skills in handling people; those skills would be badly missed. Johnson’s plan envisioned the following:
  • Pardons would be granted to those taking a loyalty oath

  • No pardons would be available to high Confederate officials and persons owning property valued in excess of $20,000

  • A state needed to abolish slavery before being readmitted

  • A state was required to repeal its secession ordinance before being readmitted.
Most of the seceded states began compliance with the President’s program. Congress was not in session, so there was no immediate objection from that quarter. However, Congress reconvened in December and refused to seat the Southern representatives.

Alexander Stevens


The former vice-president of the Confederacy, who was elected to Congress and contributed to the pro-Southern policies that immediately followed the war under
Johnson. He was engaged, at the beginning of February, 1865, in an abortive peace negotiation, or conference, in the discharge of which he was received, with his fellow commissioners, by President Lincoln, in an interview on board a steamer in Hampton Roads. The Southern commissioners were not disposed or empowered to accept the terms of restoration offered by the President, and the meeting resulted in nothing more than an informal conversation. Georgia legislators named him to the U.S. Senate in January 1866. Outraged Northerners refused to allow the former Confederate vice-president a seat so quickly after the war and began to impose harsher terms of Reconstruction. True to his nature, Stephens rejected any hint of compromise with the North. An accidental fall had left him unable to walk without assistance, but his district elected him to his old house seat in 1873. Georgia by then having complied with congressional demands, Stephens took his seat, holding it until 1882. Elected governor of Georgia that year, he died in early 1883.

Those like Alexander Stevens contributed to the Black Codes. The southern States were also starting to create Black Codes, laws that restricted the rights and movements of the newly freed African Americans. The Black Codes consisted of:

The Black Codes and Johnson's white supremacist attitude angered the Republicans in Congress, but as the President continually vetoed their bills, they were powerless to change anything. However, after the Election of 1866 Republicans controlled Congress with more than a two-thirds majority in the House and the Senate, and now had the means to implement their version of Reconstruction.

Thaddeus Stevens


One of the many "Radical Republicans" who were unhappy with the way the post-bellum era was going. He argued that it was important to achieve racial equality by any means necessary, including by giving land from former slave owners to the former slaves. In the traditional view of Reconstruction, Thaddeus Stevens was the evil genius who wrecked
President Andrew Johnson's lenient policy and turned the South over to the depredations of "black rule." Today, he is seen more sympathetically, as an outspoken foe of slavery who sought to accord blacks the rights of American citizenship and to provide an economic underpinning for their freedom. To Stevens, Reconstruction offered an opportunity to create a "perfect republic," shorn of racial inequality. As Republican floor leader, he shepherded to passage key measures of Congressional Reconstruction — the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the 14th Amendment, and the Reconstruction Act of 1867 — even though none of these was as radical as he desired. He was one of President Johnson's fiercest congressional critics and an early advocate of his impeachment.

Nathan Bedford Forrest


A white supremacist who founded the Ku Klux Klan and fought against racial equality. However, his views were not the radically absurd views they seem like today. The General Forrest actually believed that what he was doing was best for the country, and under his Wizardry the Klan was not the brutal organization that it later became.
An excerpt from an interview with General Forrest

"What are your feelings towards the federal government, general?"

"I loved the old government in 1861. I loved the old Constitution yet. I think it is the best government in the world, if administered as it was before the war. I do not hate it; I am opposing now only the radical revolutionists who are trying to destroy it. I believe that party to be composed, as I know it is in Tennessee, of the worst men on Gods earth-men who would not hesitate at no crime, and who have only one object in view-to enrich themselves."

"What is the character of the organization [regarding the nature of the Ku Klux Klan]; May I inquire?"

"Yes, sir. It is a protective political military organization. I am willing to show any man the constitution of the society. The members are sworn to recognize the government of the United States. It does not say anything at all about the government of Tennessee. Its objects originally were protection against Loyal Leagues and the Grand Army of the Republic; but after it became general it was found that political matters and interests could best be promoted within it, and it was then made a political organization, giving it support, of course, to the democratic party."

"But is the organization connected throughout the state?"

"Yes, it is. In each voting precinct there is a captain, who, in addition to his other duties, is required to make out a list of names of men in his precinct, giving all the radicals and all the democrats who are positively known, and showing also the doubtful on both sides and of both colors. This list of names is forwarded to the grand commander of the State, who is thus enabled to know are our friends and who are not."


Frederick Douglass


A former slave who fought for equality and argued that blacks would not achieve equality until they had an economic base in property. Frederick Douglass wrote an extensive article detailing the lack of structure in attempting to reconstruct the war-torn nation. In this excerpt he details his disappointment with the state of affairs at the time: "Whether the tremendous war so heroically fought and so victoriously ended shall pass into history a miserable failure, barren of permanent results. ...an attempt to re-establish a Union by force, which must be the merest mockery of a Union,--an effort to bring under Federal authority States into which no loyal man from the North may safely enter...

This shows his determination to establish the Union. His sentiments echo those of Abraham Lincoln, in their determination to restore Union before the punishment of those who seceded.

"A solid nation, based upon loyalty, liberty, and equality, must be determined one way or the other by the present session of Congress. The last session really did nothing which can be considered final as to these questions. The
Civil Rights Bill and the Freedmen's Bureau Bill and the proposed constitutional amendments, with the amendment already adopted and recognized as the law of the land...

He is referring to the 3 most important amendments during the Civil War Era.

"The arm of the Federal government is long, but it is far too short to protect the rights of individuals in the interior of distant States. They must have the power to protect themselves, or they will go unprotected, spite of all the laws the Federal government can put upon the national statute-book...

This clearly foreshadows the turmoil faced by African Americans during the Civil Rights Movement.

"Slavery, like all other great systems of wrong, founded in the depths of human selfishness, and existing for ages, has not neglected its own conservation."
