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…

described as sparse, in his teens Jackson was a reader of law long enough to become a member of the bar.

“In the beginning of the 1830’s, nearly 125,000 Native Americans lived on millions of acres of land in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, and Georgia. This land was passed down generations to generations.” (History) The idea of the Indians owning so much land, angered white settlers very much. President Andrew Jackson, had to do something about this issue. To the white settlers, Indians were uncivilized, unfamiliar, and alien people. They hated the fact of the Indians occupying so…

threw himself into politics and was accepted to the North Carolina bar in 1787, and soon moved to what became Nashville to set up a private practice.

When the white settlers first came to America they were looking for gold and a better life. They were not the first habitants of the land. The Natives, who were there first, in many cases help the settlers by showing them how to hunt, how to survive the weather, showing them new types of crops like corn, squash, potatoes, use plants as medicine. The natives and the white settlers lived around each other and even adopt some of each other cultures. The Choctaws, Chickasaws, Cherokees, Creeks and…
