Indian removal

I plan to research the program of Indian wars and removal in the Southwest led by Union officer James H. Carleton for relocation to the reservation of Bosque Redondo. Bosque Redondo was overseen by Carleton until 1868, and was intended to be a coda to this program. Bosque Redondo was filled by Native Americans forced to relocate under threat from Union troops. My intent is to explore Carleton’s leadership in regards to carrying out this program against the Navajo and Mescalero Apache. Questions…

May 28, 1830, Congress passed the Indian Removal Act. The law authorized Andrew Jackson to negotiate with Indians for their removal to federal land west of the Mississippi River in exchange for their homelands. Andrew Jackson was able to convince the American people that Indians could not coexist peacefully with them. He argued that the Indians were uncivilized and needed to be guarded from their own savage ways. As a result of his actions, thousands of Indians were forcibly ripped from their…

The Indian Removal Act of 1830 resulted in the forced removal of the Cherokee, Seminole, Choctaw, Creek and Chickasaw tribes from their homelands in Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Alabama to western land. Colonists had been wanting the land held by the Native Americans for a long time, and when Andrew Jackson came into the presidency, he made their dream of owning it a reality – at the expense of the Native Americans. The Indian Removal Act should never have passed, as it was…

The Indian Removal Act was passed by Congress in 1830 during the presidency of Andrew Jackson. The Act was the first major law that Jackson enforced. It stated that the president could relocate the newly civilized Native Americans west of the Mississippi River while the Americans could have control over the land that the Native Americans had previously occupied in Georgia and Florida.

The Indian Removal Act: The Indian Removal Act was a law that called for 60,000 American Indians to resettle. On May 28, 1830, it was approved by Andrew Jackson, the United States President. According to the Act, reservations were to be set up for the Indians that lived in the territories that the United States government wanted to settle. Indians that had settlements in these lands were forced to move to reservations that were further west. About 4,000 Cherokee Indians died along the “Trail of…

Thirty five years before the end of slave trade, President Jackson passed the Indian Removal Act, the first of seventy removal treaties that he signed. This law allowed Indians to volunteer to move from their homeland to Oklahoma. Compensated with one year's pay from the government, the Indians were also promised financial and material assistance during their travels and protection by the United States forever. The Indians who did not desire to leave would become citizens of their home state.…

During Indian removals, many Native tribes were attempting to find loopholes in treaties to be able to stay on their native lands. One of the loopholes included gaining permission to stay from the English government. Most of the people who were successful at gaining the exemption were well respected by the English or they claimed they would become civilized Americans. The second option included hiding out and hoping not to be found by the soldiers. Lastly, the Natives could have become members…

Indian Removal, a controversy that dates back to America’s founding, has had its supporters and its critics. In 1877, the American government forced the Wal-lam-wat-kin band of the Nez Perce Indians to move from their lands and into an Indian reservation. Their chief In-mut-too-yah-lat-lat, whom Americans address by Joseph, traveled to Lincoln Hall in Washington, D.C. two years later to advocate for Indian freedom as conditions in the reservation worsened. His goal was to convince American…
