Although there are several themes in this story, the two most…

Chapter 9: Trail of Tears The Trail of Tears began with the removal of the Indians. When white settlers began to move westward, they ran into the Native Americans which were known as the Five Civilized Tribes. The Five Civilized Tribes were Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, Chickasaw, and Seminoles. These tribes and civilizations had very much impressed missionaries in New England. President Monroe and President Adams had formed many treaties with the idea of the voluntary movement of these Indian…

The United States in the 19th Century was at the finest moment in their history as they entered into a new political, economic, and social movement that would build America to what it is today. In the early parts of the century, we had purchased incredible amounts of vast land, won a war against the most powerful country in the world, and started an early landmark movement called the Industrial Revolution, the start to what would be known as manifest destiny later in the century. Andrew…

For many years in the newly developing America, there was a lot of debate about what to do with the so called “Indian problem”. Americans sought out various ways to remove the Indian population from lands in the east and eventually the west too as they continued to expand.

preceded ‘Christian Missionaries Oppose Removal’ were markedly different to the events leading to Samuel Marsden’s journal entry – the Cherokee were in danger of being forcibly removed from their land, and the missionaries were in support of them staying because of their great potential for ‘becoming white.’ This ethnocentric view worked in favour of the Cherokee people, however ultimately did not change their fate and their efforts of assimilation were disregarded. The racial biases existing…

ground and in the streams. The Indians were attacked a beaten. So many times the Cherokee cry out for help, but no one came to their rescue. Instead of help, they were told, “The Georgians were their problem and they should find a way to get them off their land”. Therefore, they did just that. They gathered up all the white families. They gave then warning to stay off their land and burnt down their houses. The Cherokee people did not t view themselves as savages, so they develop their own…

This paper is an analysis of the development of government policies towards native Americans explaining why each policy was replaced by a new one. British colonial policies are dated to the new colonies that began in America with the help of Great Britain, the parent country. The colonists created a prosperous economy through hard work based on trade and agriculture eventually governing themselves. The French and Indian war, created less need for colonial British protection and drove in a set…

The Trail of Tears was a tragic time period in the United States especially for the Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, Chickasaw, and Seminole Tribes. The Trail of Tears was a migration route for the five tribes from their homeland in the Southeastern parts of the United States to what is now present day Oklahoma. “Trail of Tears” refers to several different land and water routes taken by the tribes. This situation was more like a forced removal, these tribes traveled nearly thousands of miles through…

The Native Americans are explaining to them that the United States has freedom, so how are they any different from Whites, in that they are not allowed to keep land they have inherited and not taken from anyone else. Chief Ross from the Cherokee County, Jeremiah Evarts, and Peleg Sprague all worked hardly and endlessly in expressing how…
