What was the cause of the Paiute War in the mid-1800s?
Even though the White visitors were in the 1830s and 1840s, they brought fatal diseases, such as smallpox and cholera. It wasn't until the California Gold Rush in 1848 and its deluge of miners and migrants entering Paiute land that the Northern Paiutes grew hostile.

Take the initiative of a situation that makes us uncomfortable, we may try to dismiss it as not being a problem.

What are some of the reasons that bystanders do not act?
4. Why Bystanders Don't Act a. In emergency situations, many things prohibit bystanders from intervening: 1) If no one else is acting; it is hard to go against the crowd. 2) People may feel that they are risking embarrassment (e.g., What if I'm wrong and they don't need help?). b. Bystanders often hesitate to act because: 1) They fear loss of relationships with the problem person or with others who may disapprove of action. 2) They fear retaliation, especially if the problem person is powerful. 3) They fear embarrassment, especially if they may not be believed or they may be viewed as troublemakers, or viewed as violating other community norms. 4) They feel a lack of competence or uncertainty about what action would be best. 5) They believe someone else will take action (perhaps someone else with more authority or expertise; Rowe, M., Wilcox, L., & Gadlin, H.) With each person taking cues from people around them, a common result is that no action is taken. What can be done about this problem? As professionals and members of the community, we all have a responsibility to help each other.

Report the incident, with or without names - Get help for someone better placed to intervene. Make sure leaders and responders are aware of what is going on

An unprecedented amount of Italian immigrants reached the shores of the United States beginning in the 1880s. Many Italian immigrants made trips back and forth between the two countries; their mobility caused other Americans to label them "birds of passage," until women and families arrived permanently after 1910. Like other immigrants, Italians felt comfortable in their ethnic enclaves. They did not view themselves as Italians, but instead, by the regions and villages from where they had come, limiting their fellowship to those of the geographical same area.

A bystander could be anyone who sees or otherwise becomes aware of behavior that appears worthy of comment or action.

The Emancipation Proclamation served more as a battle cry than an actual law. The proclamation was limited to only slaves in states that seceded from the Union, which fell on deaf ears.

In the mid-1800s, what occurred in Ireland that led to the largest influx of Irish immigrants to the U.S.?
The Potato Famine. ------------------------------------- In 1800, Ireland and England became the United Kingdom, but discontent among the Irish prevailed and many came to the United States for a new start. The majority of the Irish immigrants were skilled laborers, while others were political dissenters. In the 1820s and 1830s most Irish immigrants were unskilled Catholic peasants fleeing their country to find opportunity. The Potato Famine of 1845 -1851 led to the largest influx of Irish immigrants to the United States. Most went to large urban cities mainly in the Northeast and in New Orleans, Chicago, and San Francisco. Longstanding English stereotypes of Irish being lazy, drunk scoundrels spread to the United States making it difficult for Irish to assimilate into mainstream society.

What is meant by the term, Triangular Trade?
The Transatlantic Slave Trade is also called the Triangular Trade because of its three steps. First, the ships departed from Europe to Africa loaded with commodities. The goods were then traded for slaves, who were transported in tight quarters on ships that sailed to the Americas. In the third leg, the Europeans filled the ships with sought-after goods, such as tobacco, coffee, cotton, sugar, and rum, and journeyed back to Europe (UNESCO, 2014). In the Caribbean, the enslaved mainly wor ed on sugar plantations. Other ships carrying slaves sailed straight to the United States

Recently, Japanese immigrants have dropped to less than two percent of all Asian immigrants. Due to these low numbers, the Japanese communities in large cities are not being culturally replenished as second- and third-generation Japanese move to the suburbs. In fact, many third- and fourth-generation Japanese Americans are not literate in the Japanese language
In modern Chinese-American life, where do most Chinese Americans place the highest priority?
Today, most Chinese Americans place the highest priority on the family. This priority may be the reason Chinese Americans perform well in education across all income levels. As a whole, Chinese American educational achievement is well known. Chinese Americans are disproportionally represented among the top research universities as well as elite small liberal colleges. However, it should not be assumed that all Chinese Americans are in happy, intact, successful families, raising college-bound children. Traditional concepts of family and parenting have undergone drastic changes in America. Chinese Americans also have their share of family breakups, domestic violence, school dropouts, and other obstacles to overcome

What were three interactions with European an or American explorers that posed serious threats to the Alaska Native way of life?
a. Russian explorers reached the shores of the Northwest and Arctic Alaska in the 1700s, but without much interaction with or effect on the Alaska Natives. It wasn't until the early 1800s when European traders came to the regions that the Alaska Natives and their visitors communicated. Over time and with the frequency of European visits, the Alaska Natives became more accustomed to the encounters and their relationship with the Europeans grew. In the 1830s, a deadly smallpox epidemic was rampant and nearly annihilated villages due to the Alaska Natives' lack of immunity to the newly introduced diseases (Advameg, Inc., 2015). b. Whaling commerce changed the Alaska Native way of life. From 1848-1868, American whalers posed a threat Alaska Natives' existence by nearly eliminating walrus and bowhead whale populations essential for food and supplies. Whaling ship crews employed Alaska Native men to work aboard the ships and women to craft clothing, thus altering hunting life. The Alaska Natives then traded their labor instead of goods (Alaska Humanities Forum, 2014). The introduction of firearms to the Alaska Natives was equally dangerous to their food sources in the 1870s, as they nearly eliminated the caribou population. Famine set in, reducing the Alaska Native population (Advameg, Inc., 2015). c. In the late 1800s, gold miners and missionaries added to the influx of Americans and Europeans entering the Alaska region. The Alaska Natives' religious culture was shifting as Christian missionaries from various denominations started congregations and built schools (Advameg, Inc., 2015). In 1867, Russia signed an agreement with the United States to cede possession of Alaska for $7.2 million. Alaska became the 49thstate in 1959 (Alaska Native Curriculum Project, 2014).
