Dade’s Massacre Government policy of Indian removal would be seen by the American people as not only reasonable but essential to the interest of America. President Monroe has stated flatly that they should be removed or concentrated within narrow limits so that those slaves trying to seek sanctuary within the Seminoles territory was against in ever senses the capital investment of slave owners, because the Seminoles just simply saw them as men and women. This made things in the south difficult,…

Hello. I am Adsila, of the Cherokee Tribe. My name means Blossom, and I am just 11 years old. A lot has happened in the Cherokee history, and there is much to tell. After all, my tribe loves to tell stories. For example, my mother, Adoette, has told me the story of the water beetle. We believe that once the Earth was all water. We think that humans lived in a world above Earth. When the water beetle came down, he swam around and spit dirt from his mouth and created islands! Over time, our…

Osiyo! Thats hello in cherokee. I’m Adahy nice to meet you. I’m 10 years old and a boy. I live in western North Carolina, but my relatives used to live in the more southern states til they got forced on the Trail Of Tears by Andrew Jackson’s troops. That wasn’t fair. The Cherokee brought the situation to supreme court and the judge was on their side. Andrew Jackson was greedy for land and didn’t listen to the judge . He still sent the native americans on the Trail Of Tears. I really don’t…

the greatest gods who went by the name Red Man. Within the Cherokee tribe they were connected to the world by spiritual beings, such as elemental gods of the Sun, Fire, and Water. “The Cherokee, or ‘The real people’ lived in what is today present Tennessee, South Carolina, and North Carolina” (Raley).

sell in the fur market. Through occupational interest, Daniel Boone first discovered easy routes through the area. In 1775, Boone blazed his Wilderness Road that led through the Cumberland Gap in the Appalachian Mountains from North Carolina and Tennessee to Kentucky despite some resistance from local tribes. Daniel Boone then founded one of the first American settlements west of the Appalachain Mountains, the village of Boonesborough in Kentucky. By the end of the 18th century, over 200,000…

On February 8, 1887, Congress passed the Dawes Act as a solution to the "Indian Problem." Congress saw this conflict similar to Americans Richard H. Pratt and Carl Schurz, who noticed the Westward Expansion campaign had become an invasion for Native Americans. Both men believed the Natives must integrate into western society, that they must "individualize them in the possession and appreciation of property," Schurz claimed. Mr. Pratt had seen the harsh conditions of Native reservations himself…

There’s a saying that questions “do the ends justify the means”? This means does the outcome outweigh everything sacrificed to get there. In the early to mid nineteenth century, America was hurt socially, technologically, economically, and politically due to the Trail of Tears, President Andrew Jackson, and Industrialization. Beginning in the late 1700’s and advancing into the 1800’s, the Native Americans that had lived in America for the past 12,000 years gradually lost the majority of their…

Treaties was one way the U.S. Government us to displace Indians from their land, the removal act of 1830 was a mechanism used to displace the Indians. Where this failed, the government broke the treaties and the court's ruling to spread the movement west. Americans flocked to the south, began moving toward into what would become Alabama and Mississippi. The Indian tribes living there created a problem to the expansion; white settlers petitioned the government to remove them President…

Andrew Jackson has expressed many of his concerns relating to the removal of the “Indians” and it has caught my attention. What made my brain whirl with confusion was when Jackson stated “And is it supposed that the wandering savage has a stronger attachment to his home than the settled, civilized Christian?” This quote could possibly be the number question that states the mindset of many Native Americans because in order for the present American came to be, land must be stripped, lives must be…

Historical Significance Why are the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the Trail of Tears historically significant? The Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the Trail of Tears is historically significant because if this didn’t happen then we wouldn’t discover the west and there would be more Native Americans. An evidence to support me answer is on an article called “Trail of Tears” By Joyce Furstenau in paragraph 2 it states, “During the 1600’s, British colonists arrived. They did not pass through as De…
