Instead the troops would come into their villages and hurriedly gather them so the soldiers could steal everything that remained in the villages. This also meant that in the camps natives had little access to food or water. In addition to this, the natives were not allowed to leave the camp for any reason. This made for very unsanitary conditions. All of these factors combined to greatly weaken the natives health and spirit. (Boggs…

essay Expansionism on the American and South African Frontiers, compares the mandatory elimination of Native Americans to the trans- Mississippi West with the coinciding Great Trek of South Africa’s Boer settlers. The key to understanding American Indian policy between 1790 and 1830 is not the policy advocating for different racial groups, but the fact that the government was responsible to a white electorate that was persuaded that the fate…

Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States of America, he served two terms as a Democratic Republican from 1829-1837. The entire Jackson campaign not only started up revolutionary political election tactics such as rallies, parades, and lavish dinners that supporters paid for, but it also sparked up a whole new era of mass democracy, and gave birth to the political party that we now know as the “Democrats”.

United States. (Keenan) But was he really a self-made man? He was a president who owned slaves and was a slave trader. He used his slaves to do his labor and they were the ones who collected much of his fortune. And later when he directed the Indian Removal Act, he used that stolen land to expand his cotton farming and slavery. By having Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill, we are honoring him and everything that comes with him. A historian once said that a human cannot possibly be a good person if…

The U.S policies stated towards Native Americans affected them greatly in the 18th and 19th century but continue to impact their lives today. The Indian removal act of 1830, implemented by President Andrew Jackson was placed to force Native Americans to leave their homelands and settle in the Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River, in my opinion…

The removal was very unjustified because we were unfair and made a lot of people die, we did.This is why the Indian removal act was unjustified and how America can be towards others. Imagine how it would feel to lose your home and have to walk about 1,000 miles to get to your new home.“The Cherokees lost approximately one-fourth of their people to disease, malnourishment, and hardship.”This is only one hardship they faced.√The removal was unjustified because the native Americans owned the land…
