| Zusammenfassung: | "This manuscript focuses on the interactions between Native Americans and European colonists during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, particularly the relationships that developed between the French and the Natchez, Chickasaw, and Choctaw peoples. Milne's history of the Lower Mississippi Valley and its peoples provides the most comprehensive and detailed account of the Natchez in particular, from La Salle's first encounter with what would become Louisiana to the ultimate disappearance of the Natchez by the end of the 1730s. In crafting this narrative, George Milne also analyzes the ways in which French attitudes about race and slavery influenced native North American Indians in the vicinity of French colonial settlements on the Gulf coast, and how in turn Native Americans adopted and/or resisted colonial ideology"-- "At the dawn of the 1700s the Natchez viewed the first Francophones in the Lower Mississippi Valley as potential inductees to their chiefdom. This mistaken perception lulled them into permitting these outsiders to settle among them. Within two decades conditions in Natchez Country had taken a turn for the worse. The trickle of wayfarers had given way to a torrent of colonists (and their enslaved Africans) who refused to recognize the Natchez's hierarchy. These newcomers threatened to seize key authority-generating features of Natchez Country: mounds, a plaza, and a temple. This threat inspired these Indians to turn to a recent import--racial categories--to reestablish social order. They began to call themselves 'red men' to reunite their polity and to distance themselves from the 'blacks' and 'whites' into which their neighbors divided themselves. After refashioning their identity, they launched an attack that destroyed the nearby colonial settlements. Their 1729 assault began a two-year war that resulted in the death or enslavement of most of the Natchez people. In Natchez Country, George Edward Milne provides the most comprehensive history of the Lower Mississippi Valley and the Natchez to date. From La Salle's first encounter with what would become Louisiana to the ultimate dispersal of the Natchez by the close of the 1730s, Milne also analyzes the ways in which French attitudes about race and slavery influenced native North American Indians in the vicinity of French colonial settlements on the Mississippi River and how Native Americans in turn adopted and resisted colonial ideology"-- |

Univ. of Georgia Press 2015 XV, 293 S. Ill., Kt. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Early American places "This manuscript focuses on the interactions between Native Americans and European colonists during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, particularly the relationships that developed between the French and the Natchez, Chickasaw, and Choctaw peoples. Milne's history of the Lower Mississippi Valley and its peoples provides the most comprehensive and detailed account of the Natchez in particular, from La Salle's first encounter with what would become Louisiana to the ultimate disappearance of the Natchez by the end of the 1730s. In crafting this narrative, George Milne also analyzes the ways in which French attitudes about race and slavery influenced native North American Indians in the vicinity of French colonial settlements on the Gulf coast, and how in turn Native Americans adopted and/or resisted colonial ideology"-- "At the dawn of the 1700s the Natchez viewed the first Francophones in the Lower Mississippi Valley as potential inductees to their chiefdom. This mistaken perception lulled them into permitting these outsiders to settle among them. Within two decades conditions in Natchez Country had taken a turn for the worse. The trickle of wayfarers had given way to a torrent of colonists (and their enslaved Africans) who refused to recognize the Natchez's hierarchy. These newcomers threatened to seize key authority-generating features of Natchez Country: mounds, a plaza, and a temple. This threat inspired these Indians to turn to a recent import--racial categories--to reestablish social order. They began to call themselves 'red men' to reunite their polity and to distance themselves from the 'blacks' and 'whites' into which their neighbors divided themselves. After refashioning their identity, they launched an attack that destroyed the nearby colonial settlements. Their 1729 assault began a two-year war that resulted in the death or enslavement of most of the Natchez people. In Natchez Country, George Edward Milne provides the most comprehensive history of the Lower Mississippi Valley and the Natchez to date. From La Salle's first encounter with what would become Louisiana to the ultimate dispersal of the Natchez by the close of the 1730s, Milne also analyzes the ways in which French attitudes about race and slavery influenced native North American Indians in the vicinity of French colonial settlements on the Mississippi River and how Native Americans in turn adopted and resisted colonial ideology"-- Geschichte 1700-1730 gnd rswk-swf Ethnische Beziehungen (DE-588)4176973-9 gnd rswk-swf Kolonie (DE-588)4031790-0 gnd rswk-swf Sklaverei (DE-588)4055260-3 gnd rswk-swf Franzosen (DE-588)4018199-6 gnd rswk-swf Krieg (DE-588)4033114-3 gnd rswk-swf Natchez (DE-588)4605329-3 gnd rswk-swf Frankreich (DE-588)4018145-5 gnd rswk-swf Louisiana (DE-588)4036394-6 gnd rswk-swf Mississippital (DE-588)4236387-1 gnd rswk-swf aNatchez IndiansxFirst contact with Europeans aNatchez IndiansxGovernment relationsyTo 1789 aNatchez IndiansxWars, 1729 aNatchez IndiansxEthnic identity aFrenchzLouisianaxHistory aSlaveryzFrancexColoniesxHistory aIndians of North AmericazLouisianaxGovernment relationsyTo 1789 aIndians of North AmericazMississippi River ValleyxHistory aFrancexColonieszAmericaxRace relations aNatchez (Miss.)xHistory Louisiana (DE-588)4036394-6 g Mississippital (DE-588)4236387-1 g Natchez (DE-588)4605329-3 s Ethnische Beziehungen (DE-588)4176973-9 s Franzosen (DE-588)4018199-6 s Geschichte 1700-1730 z DE-604 Kolonie (DE-588)4031790-0 s Frankreich (DE-588)4018145-5 g Krieg (DE-588)4033114-3 s Sklaverei (DE-588)4055260-3 s DE-601 pdf/application http://www.gbv.de/dms/sub-hamburg/802094368.pdf Inhaltsverzeichnis |
