Lecture 10 was about the politics pertaining to the Great Plains. Different land acts or even homesteading acts where a part of the politics. Its interesting to see how the politics of the country changed after the great plains became more pronounced. In a way it was harder to get the facts strait in this lecture since we dint have a PowerPoint to show us some of the main points but it was more interesting to listen to how some of our different laws differed from Canada and what different things Canada did when the Plains became more distinct. Also we talked about different groups like the Farm Bureau that are even still going today. I like to hear how they got started because you listen on the radio and you can hear about this group even today. Even though this wasn't really talk about in the lecture it got me thinking about the politics dealing with the laws of the Native Americans that lived on the North American Plains and how they changed the lives of the Native Americans on how they lived where they lived. Some of the politics are hard to get the just of because it pertains to so many different aspects.
