In the 1820s and 1830s, the Cherokees had to figure out whether they would stay or leave from their land in Georgia because the United States wanted Cherokee land. Historians today still debate about whether the Cherokees should have stayed or left. Cherokee representatives believed that the United States will let them stay, while Boudinot believed that they should leave otherwise the United States would force them out in a violent way. One reason why removal offered the best chance for Cherokee…

He shall go his face no show Should Andrew Jackson be removed off of the 20 dollar bill? I believe Andrew Jackson should be removed off of the 20 dollar because he was cruel towards the American Indians and He only supported the white males. He also supported the Indian removal act and He acted like a king. Although he did some positive things such as creating the spoils system, and contributing to the democracy by allowing more people to vote. Andrew Jackson doesn’t deserve to represent us as…

For 50 years the settlers and Native Americans in New Hampshire maintained friendly relations. Even when most of New England was involved in King Philip’s War (1675-1676) between settlers and native people led by the Wampanoag chief PHILIP, New Hampshire native groups tried to remain neutral. But as white settlements increased, so did tensions. The Europeans introduced livestock that often ruined crops in the Native Americans’ fields, and disputes arose over access to traditional hunting and…

Early Days 1720-1865, Early History of Mississippi Early settlers of Southwestern Mississippi would write back home and would write about the abundance of this new place. One Mississippi immigrant described his new home as “a wide empty country with a soil that yields such noble crops that any man is sure to succeed.” Another new settler wrote to family back in Maryland that “the crops [here] are certain… and abundance spreads the table of the poor man and contentment smiles on every…

Westward expansion almost 200 years ago still affects Native Americans today. Settlers were fearful of the people, they forced them into reservations and into society. Westward expansion had a very negative impact on Native Americans because buffalo elimination caused major life changes, were forced out of their culture, and their land was stolen. The Indians use their buffalo many different ways but that was taken away. One big negative fact is Buffalo extermination. “They kill my buffalo;…

sides of the war. John wanted the Cherokee Tribe to have land to be their home. In 1866, John signed a treaty that meant the Cherokee Tribe would always have land and a home. The Cherokee Tribe had a good end, but a rough start with the Trail of Tears. The Trail of Tears was brutal and unforgiving to the people of the Cherokee Tribe. The members that died were not forgotten by the members that survived, and they never will…

The trail of tears can be defined as, the route along which the United States government forced several tribes of Native Americans, including the Cherokees, Seminoles, Chickasaws, Choctaws, and Creeks, to migrate to reservations west of the Mississippi River in the 1820s, 1830s, and 1840s. The Indian removal act was passed by congress and signed into law by President Andrew Jackson on May 28, 1830.

Treaty six was introduced in September 1876 and it lasted until 1898 with the addition of its’ last adhesions. It was signed by Crown representatives and Cree, Assiniboine and Ojibwa leaders on August 23, 1876 at Fort Carlton, Saskatchewan and Fort Pitt, Saskatchewan.

It had promised medicine chests on every reserve for those bands that sign…

Before 1990, there was no legislation about the use of Native American remains and artifacts in science and in museums. Native American groups had been dealing with the issue of their cultural items being taken from them since the arrival of the first Europeans, but unfortunately the law was never on their side. In 1988, they brought the issue to court. Officials from various tribes came forth with a staggering number of how many Native American skeletons and remains were currently under control…

Treacherous Journey of the Trail of Tears Before the British came over to the Americas, the Cherokee Indians, among many other tribes, inhabited these rolling hills, mountains, and plains.
