What are your expectations for the class?

the catholic church withhold people's access to the bible during the middle ages.

people could go to church and listen to the teachings, but it was absolutely forbidden to own and/or read the books of both the old and new testaments. it was also prohibited to translate the books (which where originally in biblical hebrew) to any other language.

this was done so the church could remain in control of what their teachings were and to enhance their importance and power, while also being able to judge people's actions through information that was unavailable for the general public.

the first action that caused many creek indians to turn against william mcintosh was when mcintosh a) supported the united states during the creek war of 1813–1814. b) attempted to stop the sale of creek land to the u.s. government. c) seized control of over 1,000 acres of land belonging to the creeks.

the government paid religious orders to provide basic education to native american children on reservations. in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the bureau of indian affairs (bia) founded additional boarding schools based on the assimilation model of the off-reservation carlisle indian industrial school.
