 * When Did You Last See Your Father?**

In this painting the young boy and girl seem to be siblings. They are both well dressed which might indicate they are high class and their parents are wealthy. The young boy seems to be being asked questions by the man sitting behind the table most likely about their father based on the title of the painting. The young boy does not seem to be afraid at all while his sister seems very upset. Also behind the table also are four men. Three seem to be very intent on what the boy is saying while the clerk is recording what the boy is saying. On the left of the table is an army official maybe who seems very bored with the whole thing. Standing beside the young girl is the soldier that most likely arrested the family. He does not seem very happy about the goings on and looks to be comforting the girl. Standing behind the girl and soldier are two ladies maybe relatives.

Krystal Blood Mr. Rowley Historical Research and Writing November 30, 2010 Westward Expansion, So Who's the Savage?!?!?!? “We, the great mass of the people think only of the love we have to our land for...we do love the land where we were brought up. We will never let our hold to this land go...to let it go it will be like throwing away...(our) mothers that gave (us) birth.” This is a part taken out of a letter from Aitooweyah to John Ross during the 1800s who was the principal chief of the Cherokee Indian tribe. After the Civil War many farmers and former slaves were uprooted and now had no place to go. The West was a rather unexplored area that took over the imagination of many settlers. So many then packed their wagons with their possessions, family, and supplies and started on a long journey to the unsettled west, home of the Indians and untamed wilderness. When many arrived they treated the Indians as animals, such as they had treated slaves before the end of the Civil War. Many settlers becoming violent toward the Indians and the Indians had no other choice but to fight back. Although settlers desperately wanted to expand into the Indian territory, taking over native land was unjustified, because they had no legal or moral right to do so.
