  • MANIFEST DESTINY Unit #6 United States History EL PASO / SANTA FE
    MANIFEST DESTINY Unit #6 United States History EL PASO / SANTA FE The two largest Spanish settlements in what is today the United States One factor that discouraged Hispanic settlement of New Mexico was the threat of war with nomadic Native Americans in the surrounding area, such as the Navajos, Comanches, and Apaches. TUCSON / TUBAC The two Spanish settlements in modern day Arizona, both explored and established by Jesuit Missionary Francisco Kino. CLOSURE QUESTION #1: WHAT LONG-TERM EFFECTS DID THE INTRODUCTION OF HORSES AND FIREARMS HAVE ON NATIVE AMERICANS IN THE WEST? The nomads of the Great Plains, known to the Spanish as Apaches, were becoming more powerful. The Apaches lived by hunting vast herds of buffalo. These hunts became easier after 1680 when the Apaches acquired horses from the Spanish. On horseback, men could see farther, travel faster, and kill their pray more quickly and in greater safety. At the same time, the nomads began to acquire firearms from French traders. The Indians continued to hunt with bows and arrows, but they used guns to wage war. In 1800, a trader on the Great Plains remarked, “This is a delightful country and, were it not for perpetual wars, the natives might be the happiest people on earth.” The conflict stemmed largely from competition for buffalo herds. Well- armed groups, such as the Comanches of the Rocky Mountains and the Lakotas of the Mississippi Valley, spread at the expense of Apaches and other long-time residents of the Great Plains. APACHES / COMANCHES / LAKOTAS Nomadic Native American Tribes that competed for dominance on the Great Plains in the 1700’s and 1800’s, discouraging European settlement in the area.

The trip was a dreary one from the start, accompanied by dangers and hardships innumerable. Every inch of the distance across was menaced by hostile Indians, who never lost an opportunity to attack our outfit. For weeks at a time we subsisted solely upon our herd ; beef straight being our only ration. Apache Pass was the first place of any note reached in Arizona. A small company of U. S. Infantry occupied the military post there, know as Fort Bowie. On the day of our arrival at Bowie, it looked pretty gloomy and lonesome for the few soldiers stationed there. The Indians were hooting and guying the soldiers from the cliffs and boulders on the mountain sides. They spoke mostly in Spanish, but several of their number could make themselves understood in our native tongue (English). A few days before our arrival at Fort Bowie a sad accident happened that impressed me very much.

Lincoln's New Mexico Patronage: Saving the Far Southwest for the Union DEREN EARL KELLOGG New Mexico Territory receives scant mention in connection with the administration of President Abraham Lincoln. Historians have generally concluded that Lincoln and other federal officials attached no great value to the territory and mostly neglected it. It is true that Lincoln could devote little attention to the administration of the western territories during the Civil War, which threatened the very future ofthe country. However, evi­ I, dence suggests that Lincoln did care about saving New Mexico:for the Union and should be given some credit for achieving this goal. Aithough Lincoln's western patronage record was generally undistinguished, his appointments to the New Mexico Territory were popular men who had' experience in the Southwest and who often did not identify themselves with the Republican Party.
