What We'll Cover

Asian Americans and Race

Constructing Orient/Oriental/Orientalism

Western Imperialism in Asian

Coolies

The Rise of Yellow Peril

Chinese Exclusion Act

Key Term:

Orientalism: a way of seeing that imagines, emphasizes, exaggerates and distorts differences of Arab and Asian peoples and cultures as compared to that of Europe and the U.S. It often involves seeing Arab culture as exotic, backward, uncivilized, and at times dangerous.

Asian Americans and Race

Asians, like other non-white communities, were ascribed a race (and color) to show their distinctness from Europeans

Interactions between Europe, the U.S., and Asian countries and societies motivated this classification to place Asians within the continuum of race

Theories about pologenesis emgerged to explain physical differences between Anglos and non-whites

(Right) depictions of preadamite peoples, those that came before Adam [biblical] and map showing the colored make-up of the world

Constructing Orient/Orientals/Orientalism

Asian communities endured the same racializing process as other Communities of Color

Asian scholars describe the unique type of racialization they faced as Orientalism

"Orientalism” is a way of seeing that imagines, emphasizes, exaggerates and distorts differences of Arab and Asian peoples and cultures as compared to that of Europe and the U.S. It often involves seeing Arab culture as exotic, backward, uncivilized, and at times dangerous.

This unique form of racialization provided western powers with the justification to make war, capture land and resources, and exploit peoples within and from these regions

Western Imperialism in Asia

After many of the Colonies in the Americas liberated themselves, the U.S. and European empires sought to establish new colonial relationships with the Asia

UK wanted goods and to trade opium thereby creating an addicted colonial relationship with China/Asia

U.S. wanted to sell railroads and technology to modernize the East and import in workers

End of slavery brought new challenges with finding exploitable workers

Coolies

Coolie Labor System emerges to supplant the African Slavery systems across the U.S. and the West

Coolie derived from the Hindu word for laborer/laborer class

Poor Chinese immigrants came as indentured servants (under exploitative contracts) to work in the us, taking jobs that many Americans didn't want to do 

Agriculture

Building railroads

Mining

Laundry services

Running opium dens

Domestic labor

These workers endured similar conditions as African/African American slaves and were seen as inferior and suitable exploitable labor for similar reasons

The rise of Yellow Peril

In the late 19th century (1800s), there was growing anti Asian sentiment and Coolies were becoming the next Race "problem"

Growing in numbers

Many were making it economically

Competition over jobs and space that racial tensions high

Eventually racist violence exploded, and mobs attacked Asian communities in areas like Santa Ana, LA, San Francisco, and Berkley

Also known as "the driving out" period

The Chinese Exclusion Act

First directly racist law barring emigration of nonwhite people to the U.S.

Lasts 1882-1943

Rationale for the law predicated on keeping the country "white"

Sets the framework for discriminatory/racist immigration laws and is derived from targeted racist laws like Indian Removal and Indian Appropriation Acts.

NatAminUS-TheU.S.andIndianCountry-1.pptx

Native Americans in the U.S. 

The U.S. and Indian Country

Lecture Layout

What we'll be covering:

Early U.S. and Natives

U.S. Government and Indian Relations

Early Treaties and Betrayals

Manifest Destiny

Shift in Indian Policy

Trail of Tears

The Continued Indian War/Problem

Escalating the Indian Wars

Wounded Knee/End of Indian Wars

Key term:

Manifest destiny- the belief that the expansion of the US throughout the American continents was both justified and inevitable

Also, the belief the United States was destined—by God, its advocates believed—to expand its dominion and spread democracy and capitalism across the entire North American continent

Early U.S. and Indians

Indigenous communities play a paradoxical role in the U.S. 

Native societies like the Iroquois provided founding fathers with a governing/constitutional framework

Remember natives also helped the colonist learn how to farm, fish, and hunt in the new world

However, Natives Peoples would not be considered citizens under the constitutional framework 

Many treaties signed between U.S. government and Natives were never honored

U.S. government and Indian relations

The U.S. government attempted to have peaceful relations with tribes in subsequent years 

George Washington sought to develop a policy of "Justice and Humanity" with Natives

He also thought the best way to deal with Natives was to forcibly assimilate them, making them into "Americans"

This was the earliest example of Ethnocentrism/racism in the U.S.

Washington changed his position on natives as the U.S. hoped to settled the west and expand its power

He instructed his leaders of the Department of War (now Department of Defense) to

"lay waste all the settlements around... that the country may not be merely overrun, but destroyed"

Not to listen to any overture of peace before the total ruin of their settlements is effected

Washington's stance on Natives was echoed by many subsequent presidents where tribes were seen as the "Indian problem" impeding U.S. progress

Early Treaties and Betrayals

Peace between the U.S. government and tribal nations was always tenuous

America was concerned about being reconquered or invaded by foreign adversaries

There was also a growing desire to establish the country as a super power like other empires

Governmental leaders sign various treaties with tribes but never had any intention of honoring them 

Like what we will see with the Treaty de Guadalupe Hidalgo

Early treaties:

Delwares/Fort Pitt (1778)

Undone when Pennsylvania Militiamen kill 100 Lenape (mostly women and children)

Treaty of Hopewell (1785/86)

Violated because white settlers continued to move on Native territories

Treaty of Canandaigua/ Pickering/Calico (1794)

Undone when government reduced Iroquois land 

Treaty of Greenville (1795)

Nullified due to continued westward expansion 

Manifest destiny

A primary factor preventing peace between the U.S. was manifest destiny

Manifest destiny was built on two main principles:

the expansion of the US throughout the American continents was both justified and inevitable

the United States was destined—by God, its advocates believed—to expand its dominion and spread democracy and capitalism across the entire North American continent

Consequently, there was an immense push to move west and take as much land as possible

Shift in Indian Policy

1800s marked a shift in Indian policy where conquest and theft were primary motivators

Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson sought the outright destruction of natives

They encouraged war with and removal of native people 

Notable laws:

Indian Removal Act (1830)-authorizing the president to grant lands west of the Mississippi in exchange for Indian lands within existing state borders. A few tribes went peacefully, but many resisted the relocation policy

Indian Appropriation Act (1851)-created the Indian reservation system and provided funds to move Indian tribes onto farming reservations and hopefully keep them under control. Indians were not allowed to leave the reservations without permission.

Trail of Tears

First of many forced relocations of Indians by the U.S. government 

60,000 natives from 5 different tribes moved west to the first "reservations"

Had to cross 9 states (5,043 miles) to reach their final destination

4,000 people died from disease, starvation, and exposure to frigid temperatures 

The Continued Indian War/Problem

The U.S. is temporarily distracted from the Indian problem by the U.S. Mexico War and Civil War

Other wars about Race and citizenship

After these wars end Lincoln and his predecessors restart the focus on Indian problem/war

He presided over the largest mass execution in U.S. history, 38 Dakota warriors publicly hanged

Scots-Irish immigrants and freed African American were used as Indian fighters to settle the west by removing natives 

Escalating the Indian Wars

The U.S. continued to fight wars with natives out west for land and resources 

This was particularly important when gold, oil, and farmable lands were "discovered" in the taken former Mexican territories

U.S. army continued to rely on poor whites and freed blacks to fight this war (a historic precedent for military recruitment) 

The U.S. encouraged migration west to settle lands and justify military force

Force included both direct and indirect violence to exterminate Indians

Wounded Knee/End of Indian Wars

The last major skirmish between U.S. army and Indians happened at Wounded Knee (1890)

Estimated 300 Lakota die at the hands of U.S. troops

This marked the end of the Plains Indian wars and outright militarism towards natives

More indirect and cost-effective methods were used to quell native rebels

Early U.S. and Natives

U.S. Government and Indian Relations

Early Treaties and Betrayals

Manifest Destiny

Shift in Indian Policy

Trail of Tears
