Imagine your family made a beautiful quilt full of their history and lineage, one that has been passed down to each generation. Now imagine that someone offered to buy that quilt from you, promising a good amount of money and another, “better”, quilt. This is like the Cherokee’s situation. The president promised new and better land, but it wasn’t as good as it sounded.

I feel that all of his decisions helped his people rather than harmed them, because his choices were made…

By the end of the decade, however; very few native nations occupied the land. Don L. Birchfield, author of, “Choctaw Legacy: How To Lose Your Country Twice in Fourteen Treaties” illustrates the end of occupied Indian land and the start of American owned land through various treaties signed by the tribes.
