The Trail of Tears Introduction The Trail of Tears was a 1000-2000 mile journey that five tribes had to walk in order to get to their designated land that Andrew Jackson called “Indian Territory.” The Cherokees, Choctaws, Chickasaws, Creeks, and Seminoles, were forced out of their homelands, not given any other option but to leave, or be killed trying to stay in their home where you made memories with families and friends. The trail was where thousands of people died from horrible sicknesses,…

As young adults we are taught to develop skills and talents which with time will become our reputation. Building a leadership brand requires determination and innovation as well as an open mind. Just as brands evolve over centuries a person has to be able to be self-aware of its surrounding and how they change. In the article “Five steps to building your leadership brand”, Ulrich and Smallwood describe a leadership brand as conveying your identity and distinctiveness as a leader and…

“I have to get out of here.” I thought as soon as I opened my eyes. I was woken up from a hit in the face by a half-awake Brooke, telling me that my sister was calling me. We 've been in Alabama for four days and we leave tomorrow morning. I cannot wait to be home. This trip has not been at all how I wanted it to be. We 'd been planning this trip for months. It 's a graduation present from my mom and uncle. As part of the gift, I got to bring two friends. Of course I chose to bring my two…

Cherokees, Choctaws, Creeks, Chickasaws, and Seminoles occupied the land, especially in the South, which threatened the expansion of the land-hungry Americans. President Andrew Jackson promised to resolve this issue with the Indian Removal Act, by the volunteer exchange of Indian lands and their removal east of the Mississippi for land west of the Mississippi (Boyer et al, 255). The result of his policy was anything but humane and devastating…

I have chosen Thomas Nast’s March 16, 1867 cartoon picture, “The Georgetown Election—The Negro at the Ballot Box,” as my primary source. The cartoon’s setting is Georgetown and people are in line to vote for Andrew Jackson as a president. And it features an African-American man standing in line to vote and two white men glaring at them. The African-American man is dressed up in low class clothes. He took off his hat when he puts his vote in the glass ballot box. A white man lined up behind the…

After demanding both political and military action on removing native American Indians from the southern states of America in 1829 President Andrew Jackson sign this into law on May 28, 1830 although it only gave the right to negotiate for their withdrawal from areas to the east of the Mississippi River and that relocation was supposed to be voluntary, all of the pressure was there to make this all but inevitable. All the tribal leaders agreed after Jackson's landslide victory in 1832. It is…

There were a few events that led to the Trail of Tears. Native Americans fought alongside the British in both the French/ Indian war and the Revolutionary war. When the Americans won the war they confiscated some of the Native American’s land. Before the Indian Removal Act, the Cherokee Tribe was recognized by the Government as their own nation. Gold was another reason that Americans were so eager to get them off their land. Once the white settlers discovered there was gold on Cherokee land,…

In today’s society women are still treated differently like they were in the past. Before, women were marginalized because they weren’t allowed to do the things that men were able to do. Like go out and get a job or even vote. It wasn’t even heard of to have women go into the military because only men were allowed to. Nowadays Women are free to do things they couldn’t do before. But, they still get marginalized for being a women. In the 1800’s, people were expected to do jobs that were fit…
