Social Concerns of the Late 1800’s

(Other than everything else we have already talked about – industrialization, segregation,

nativism & immigration, etc )

What seemed to be the value of treaties with the Native Americans?

Remember the Treaty of Gaudalupe Hidalgo? (ended the Mexican American War, included a provision that land rights of Mexicans in the area would be recognized by the US, but 4/5th lost their land)

Every hear of the Burlingame Treaty of 1868? (promised to guarantee government protection for Chinese immigrants)

In general – what impression do you have of 1800’s federal treaties?
