Trail of Tears

Posted on by BookReviews

A Captivating Guide to the Forced Removals of Cherokee, Muscogee Creek, Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw Nations (Indigenous People)

Explore the Cruel History of the Trail of Tears
Free History BONUS Inside! One of the darkest and cruelest chapters in the history of the United States occurred when the nation’s young government decided to remove the native peoples from their lands in the name of profit. Having helped settlers for hundreds of years, five Native American tribes found it increasingly more difficult to relate to and trust the country that had once acted as their allies. The native peoples had fought alongside the Americans to gain freedom from England, the nation that the colonists deemed oppressive and unfair. The native peoples acted as benefactors and teachers, helping the colonists to gain an advantage against an army that was far superior to the small forces that the colonists could muster. The new country owed a lot of its existence to the native peoples, yet the settlers, who were of European descent, did not see it that way.

The following topics will be covered in this book:

  • The Early Relationship
  • The Growth of Manifest Destiny
  • The Discovery of Gold and the Indian Removal Act
  • Peaceful Protests and a Push for Recognition
  • The People Versus the President
  • The Militia Force Removal
  • The Trail of Tears
  • Stories of Pain, Loss, and Love
  • Making a New Home
  • And a Great Deal More You Don’t Want to Miss Out On!

History of Brazil

Posted on by BookReviews

A Captivating Guide to Brazilian History, Starting from the Ancient Marajoara Civilization through Colonization by the Portuguese Empire to the Present (South American Countries)

Did you know that Brazil is the largest coffee producer in the world? Or that Brazil got its name from a tree?

Brazil has a rich and complicated history that few outside South America know about. It leads the world in some of the most profitable exports (gold, sugar, oil, and coffee). Yet, Brazil has one of the largest wealth disparities in the world. It is also known for crime and poverty. Brazil is ethnically diverse. It has a rich and distinct nationality and culture. Yet, the Brazilians seem to be at odds with each other. Would you be surprised to learn that its history has something to do with that?

Brazil has fertile soil perfect for agriculture. It also has gold and other profitable resources. Despite this, at the beginning of colonization, no European nation wanted to colonize it. We will explore Brazil’s prehistory and why the colonists were so hesitant to settle there. Once they did, though, Brazil’s history was forever changed.

While Brazil is one of the most recognized South American countries, its history is mostly unknown to the general public. This is partly because its landscape cannot preserve historical artifacts. Additionally, its history is often overshadowed by other countries in the Western Hemisphere. This book will make Brazil’s history come alive. It provides insight into its rich past. It also offers a peek at what Brazil has been dealing with recently.

In this book, you will learn about the following:

  • The origins of Brazil’s first people
  • The diets, lifestyles, and beliefs of Brazil’s native population
  • The Europeans’ disinterest in Brazil
  • Portugal’s convoluted colonization of Brazil
  • Brazil’s sugar and coffee industries
  • The church and its conversion of the native population
  • The Brazilian Gold Rush and how it impacted the nation
  • Brazilian civilian leaders
  • Why the Portuguese royalty moved to Brazil
  • Brazil’s fight for independence
  • The slave trade and when it was abolished
  • Brazil’s involvement in World War I and World War II
  • Brazil’s foreign relations, especially with other South American countries
  • Brazil’s struggles with poverty
  • Modern-day events
