Native Americans are the indigenous peoples of North America encompassing what is now the continental United States as well as parts of Alaska and Hawaii. They comprise hundreds of distinct tribes and ethnic groups that originally inhabited the land. European colonization led to centuries of conflict as Native American and European cultures clashed greatly. While estimates vary, it is believed millions of Native Americans lived in North America prior to European arrival. As the United States expanded westward in the 18th and 19th centuries, many Native American tribes were forcibly removed from their homelands and assimilated into European-American culture through the government's policies. Today, Native Americans have a unique relationship with the U.S. as they belong to sovereign tribes and nations while also being
This presentation provides a general history of American slavery (with greater emphasis on its development than on its antebellum incarnation) to give students some understanding of the institution. It is the fourth in a series of presentations designed for college students in a seminar on The Civil War and Reconstruction. Students will spend more time engaging antebellum slavery (the slavery that is more familiar to most Americans) in class.

North of the Border
"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe
free," wrote Emma Lazarus in 1883. Inscribed on a bronze plaque at the
base of the Statue of Liberty at the entrance to New York Harbor, these
lines expressed the promise of "the land ofliberty" for generations of im-
migrants to the United States.
During the 1980s, more immigrants arrived in the United States than
in any other decade in history. Yet, unlike millions of their predecessors,
few of them were welcomed by Lady Liberty and few came from Europe.
Most were migrants from Latin America and the Caribbean who had
traveled north, not west, to reach the United States, and crossed borders,
not oceans, to arrive at its shores.
How this nation of immigrants deals with this new wave of immi-
grants from the south may well shape its domestic history and hemi-
spheric relations during the twenty-first century. It may also force the
United States of America to rethink what it means to be "American."
These new immigrants have made the United States the fifth largest
Spanish-speaking country in the world. Today, it has the hemisphere's
largest Puerto Rican city, second largest concentrations of Cubans, Sal-
vadorans, Haitians, and Jamaicans, and fourth largest Mexican metrop-
olis. People of Latin American origin have surpassed African-Americans
North of the Border I 585
as the nation's largest minority group. Their concentrations in such large
states as California, Florida, New York, and Texas-and in some of the
country's biggest cities-will increase their social and political impact
still further. By 202 5, they will be the largest race or ethnic group in Cali-
fornia, comprising 4 3 percent of the population of the largest state. Al-
ready more than half of Miami is of Latin American descent, and the
same is true for nearly 40 percent of Los Angeles and a quarter of Hous-
ton and New York. Increasingly, "Anglos"-a term that "Hispanics,"
people with Spanish American cultural roots, apply to all white English-
speaking North Americans-will have to come to terms with the fact that
they not only share the Americas with their Latin American and
Caribbean neighbors, but that they also share their own country with
growing communities of "Latinos," people of Latin American descent.
The 2000 census revealed that there were more than 3 5 million His-
panics living in the continental United States, a 58 percent increase over
1980 and a nine-fold rise over 1950. By 2005, there were over 40 million
Hispanics living on the mainland and their numbers were growing four
times as fast as the U.S. population as a whole, as a result of immigra-
tion-legal and illegal-as well as higher birth rates. If current trends
continue, there will be more than roo million Hispanic-Americans by
the year 2050, when they will comprise one-quarter of this country's
populatio ...

4.1 The New Imperialism
The industrialization of the last quarter of the 19th century coincided with an era of expansion during which European nations and Japan extended and consolidated their empires. Known as the new imperialism, and lasting into the first decades of the 20th century, it was a time marked by the relentless pursuit of overseas territories. Established nations used new technologies to make their empires more valuable through territorial conquest and the exploitation of natural resources. Despite many Americans’ objections that imperialism was incompatible with the nation’s values, the United States also established an empire in this era by annexing Hawaii, establishing a permanent presence in Cuba, and taking control of the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
World Grab for Colonies
Americans watched as one European nation after another expanded its empire. Portugal and Spain had amassed large empires as early as the 15th and 16th centuries, but by the mid-19th century Great Britain was the dominant colonial power. The possessor of the world’s largest navy, Britain also had a long history of colonization, beginning with Ireland and America in the 16th century. After losing its 13 American colonies, Britain turned toward colonizing parts of Asia, particularly India, and in the late 19th century its empire expanded across the African continent as well. In what became known as the “scramble for Africa” other European nations—including Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, and Portugal—joined the British in carving up the continent between 1881 and 1914
The French also expanded into Southeast Asia, gaining control of nations such as Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. The Russians pushed out from their existing borders to extend their influence in the Middle East and Far East. Even the Japanese, who had historically shied away from relations with the outside world, began to aggressively pursue the extension of their borders. Beginning by conquering nearby islands such as Okinawa and the Kurils, by 1894 Japan waged war against China for control of Korea and Taiwan.
The imperial thrust of European and Asian nations reflected patterns and rivalries established centuries before, such as the many historical conflicts between France and Great Britain. But there was a novel and urgent dimension to the new imperialism as well, including a turn toward modernity and especially industrialization. Economic growth and industrial production created dual demands for raw materials and new markets for manufactured goods and agricultural products. Capitalists invested surplus funds in developing nations and expected their business interests to be protected there in return. Technology and capital thus contributed to bigger and more effective navies, which in turn required colonial outposts to serve as fueling stations and bases of operation.
The period’s revival of evangelical religion also drove overseas expansion by Europeans and Americans. Mi ...

1. What is your earliest memory of the American West?
One of the most outstanding memories about the American West was about the completion of the railroads to the following civil war which opened up a vast number of places to settlement and economic development. During that time, white settlers from the East flocked into Mississippi for mining activities, farming, as well as ranching. Besides, African-Americans settlers also came into the West emanating from the Deep South who were motivated by the promoters of all-black Western towns that prosperity could be found there (White, 2015). Also, diversity was intensified by the Chinese railroad workers within the region’s population. It then led the settlement from the East turn to Great Plains were the herds of Americans bison in the area were virtually omitted from the place as farmers plowed the area as well as the growth of cattle industry as the railroad provided a practical means for getting the cattle to market.
2. From what sources did you learn about the West? This could be anything from school to stories to TV shows to personal experience.
I was able to learn about the American West from various publications and articles available in the libraries of the institution as well as commercial libraries. Besides, learning about the West was made simpler by the availability of a wide range of online materials of study related to the topic. The wide range of online source equips one with the appropriate information about the West in clear details. Besides, the comparison of these sources enables one to acquire all the relevant data about the West and its historical background with regard to the American identity. Again, West is vastly presented in films and TV shows were characters have enacted the events of the period.
3. As you think about your perception of the American West, what individuals populate that space? What kinds of events take place? Set the scene of your imagined American West.
Imaginatively, I tend to perceive that the American West is populated by some widely but inter-related individuals which would be as a result of the different interaction of the different individuals who migrated into the place. Having different races within the same geographical setting means that mixed social, economic and political events will be carried such as the rise of support groups including women empowerment associations. However, this factor leads to the eruption of newly invented activities which would be suitable for all the participants in the region which would traverse across all the races in the West. Therefore, it means that new cultures and events will be generated over time in the American West due to the socialization with variant individuals from different races and ethnic groups.
4. After you’ve drafted your post, read through it and identify at least two images, pictures, TV/movie clips, or soundtracks that embody your ideas of the American Wes.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. Who are they? Native Americans in the United States are the indigenous people from North America now encompassed by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive as intact political communities. The terminology used to refer to Native Americans is controversial: according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the respondents with an expressed preference refer to themselves as American Indians or Indians. European colonization of America led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer subsistence societies with value systems that were significantly different from those of the European colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans – and the shifting alliances among different nations of each culture – led to great misunderstandings and long-lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million.
3. After the colonies revolted against Great Britain and established the United States of America, the ideology of Manifest destiny became integral to the American nationalist movement. In the late 18th century, George Washington and Henry Knox conceived the idea of "civilizing" Native Americans in preparation for American citizenship.Assimilation (whether voluntary as with the Choctaw, or forced) became a consistent policy through American administrations. In the 1830s, most Native Americans of the American Deep South were removed west of the Mississippi River from their homelands to accommodate European-American expansion from the United States. Some groups remained, with descendants living in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Major Native American resistance on the Great Plains took place in the form of "Indian Wars," which were frequent up until the 1890s.
4. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have sovereignty or independence from the government of the United States. Their societies and cultures flourish within a larger immigrated American populace of African, Asian, Middle Eastern, and European peoples. Native Americans who were not already U.S. citizens were granted citizenship in 1924 by the Congress of the United States.
