Please help ASAP! I will mark you brainliest!! Who or what was a boomer? What gave rise to the boomer movement?

BOOMER MOVEMENT, a term applied to attempts of white settlers to occupy an area in Indian Territory from 1879 to 1885. The so-called Five Civilized Tribes of American Indians, driven from the Southeast in the 1830s, had settled on a reservation extending to the boundaries of the present state of Oklahoma, excluding the Panhandle (see Cimarron, Proposed Territory of).

In 1866, as punishment for having participated in the Civil War on the side of the South, they were compelled to cede the western half of their domain to the United States as a home for Indians of other tribes. During the next ten years several tribes were given reservations on these lands, but a fertile region of some 2 million acres near the center of Indian Territory was not assigned to any tribe and came to be known as the "unassigned lands" or Old Oklahoma.

Early in 1879 Elias C. Boudinot, a railway attorney of Cherokee descent, published a newspaper article stating that this was public land and so open to homestead entry. Widely reprinted, this article created great excitement. Later in the same year, a colony of home seekers under the leadership of Charles C. Carpenter sought to enter Indian Territory and occupy this area but were prevented by federal troops under General John Pope.

In 1880 David L. Payne organized the "Boomer" movement and charged a small fee for membership in his "Oklahoma colony." During the next four years he and his followers made eight attempts to settle the region, but in each case they were ejected by soldiers. Upon Payne's death at Wellington, Kansas, in 1884, his lieutenant, W. L. Couch, led an expedition to the forbidden area that was promptly removed by the military. The struggle was then transferred to the national capital, and on 22 April 1889 the unassigned lands were opened to settlement under the provisions of an act of Congress. Some white settlers, called "Sooners," had already entered the territory illegally and had established farms. At noon on 22 April thousands of white men, women, and children on horseback, in wagons, and sometimes on foot rushed into the interior of the former Indian Territory to stake out their homesteads.

Is this what you meant?

hello! : )

1. intercessory weapons

“god is looking for somebody, a wall builder; somebody who can prevent calamities and avert disasters through importunate tears of supplication,” writes father oforka. “such wall builders attend the divine council and, like spiritual attorneys, passionately argue their cases in order to achieve their purpose.”

an example of an intercessory warrior is moses in the old testament. “moses acted as a bridge between god and his people. that was an office that god called him to when he appeared to him in the form of a burning bush. he therefore respects both moses as his faithful servant and his office of mediation between him and his people,” father oforka writes.

how does intercession play a role in our lives today, as the spiritual battle rages on still? “we must go back to our roots and repossess the right of attending the divine council through the ministry of intercession,” father oforka explains. we intercede through prayer, petitioning for others before the throne of god.

2. the name of jesus 

“there is something in the name of jesus that is awesome and fascinating,” father oforka writes. “hence, the quiver of the intercessory cannot be complete without it.”

saints paul, peter, and john write extensively about the power of the name of christ. no one can make demons subject to him without the name of christ.

in the early church, justin martyr wrote, “for every demon, when exorcised in the name of this very son of god – who is the first-born of every creature, who became man by the virgin, who suffered, and was crucified under pontius pilate, who died, who rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven – is overcome and subdued. but though you exorcise any demon in the name of any of those who are among you – either kings, or righteous men, or prophets, or patriarchs – it will not be subject to you.”

3. the power of praise 

praise is a underrated arrow in the quiver of a christian. “it’s important that intercessors should learn the power of praise,” writes father oforka. “a group of prayer ministers may gather for hours praising god and soaking the air with divine waves. . the father cherishes it when his awesome deeds are recounted and his person is addressed accordingly.”

what does this have to do with spiritual warfare? “at those times when the thick clouds of evil begin to gather, when the smoke of satan begins to blur our view and choke our breath, intercessors might opt to descend into the bright cloud of praise, invoking these awesome names, instead of a mournful prayer-fight.”

heaven can’t resist soulful praise of the faithful – and satan can’t stand to hear god praised here on earth.

4. the fire of the holy spirit

the fire of the holy spirit has a two-fold purpose in the life of the spiritual warrior. “it could be used as both an offensive and a defensive weapon,” father oforka explains. “it is like the word of god, which is double-edged and therefore dual in purpose.”

we often see god through the medium of fire throughout the old testament. he appears to moses in a burning bush, and as a pillar of fire through the desert wanderings of the israelite nation. in his letter to the hebrews, saint paul writes that god is an “all consuming fire.”

5. the eucharist 

in the gospel of john, christ says: “very truly i tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood, you have no life within you.” the institution of the eucharist is an event recorded meticulously by three of the synoptic gospels and saint paul.

when catholics worship in the mass and receive the body of christ through the eucharist they can “draw more strength than he can image,” explains father oforka. “an intercessory, who identifies with jesus in the eucharist, can handle difficult cases. he does not just end with the invocation of this treasure. he must, as often as possible, be part of the sacrifice of the mass through which this power flows.”

hope this and i hope i answered in time!

good luck!
