Trail of Tears

Firstly, the Indian Removal Act signified the violation of treaties set by the First Nations. Secondly, the Treaty of New Etocha allowed for the forcible removal of First Nations while reflecting the deceiving law. Lastly, the Trail of Tears represented the extent of the inhumane treatment all for exploiting their valuable resources. During the 1860s, the First Nations began re-building their lands and lives. However, First Nations lands continue to be taken advantage of by the government…

Approximately 4,000 Cherokees died on this forced march, which became known as “the trail of tears” the train of tears was horrid. “1 out of out of 8 would die” (“Indian removal act”).

The Indian removal was a conflict between the five civilized tribes, Creek, Chickasaw, Cherokee, Choctaw, Seminole, and the white settlers. The conflicts between both sides happened for many years but the Indian Removal Act was passed in 1830. Some Indian tribes lived in the Louisiana territory, but the five civilized tribes in the American settler territories. The reasons for the tribes to have to move was white settlers wanted more land to have control over. The Indians view of land is…

In our country we have had presidents who have done some incredible things for our society and will forever be remember for such.

That being said, we as Americans have learned to live with such things and become a better society due to the ups and downs of our presidents. That being said one of the most memorable presidents was the seventh of the United States, Andrew Jackson. He came in to office in…

If there was one lesson I could teach it would be the gruesome treatment of Native Americans under Andrew Jackson’s presidency. Prior to Jackson’s presidency Native Americans had been treated poorly. Since the arrival of the first Europeans the natives had experienced abuse and enslavement. Some were brutally slaughtered in wars over territory or had been exposed to diseases. Others were forced to assimilate to European ideals. For example, in 1819 Congress had tried to “civilize” the natives by…

Memorial of the Cherokee Nation is about the plight of the Cherokee Indians in the 1830s. Beginning after the War of 1812 when the white men were moving south in to states such as Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, five civilized Indian nations occupied these states and the Cherokees in particular were located in Georgia. This land was prime for growing cotton and the white farmers wanted the Indians off of the land so they could prosper from cotton growing. There were federal treaties in…

Some may regard Indian Removal Policy as a moral and benevolent action. However, it was not benevolent. The U.S. dishonored treaties and they just hated the Indians by showing serious authority to do whatever they wanted to Indians. As I say one more time, Andrew Jackson’s Indian Removal Policy was not benevolent at all, I think. It was reasonable and understandable that this policy was a period of expansion to the westward, but he overlooked a supreme court and took responsibility by relocating…

Indian Removal Act In the early 1800’s, America was a country of great hope and future promises. The colonies had just broken away from the monarchy of Great Britain and declared the independent of the United States of America. The people of Europe fled to America during this time in search of religious freedom and a new beginning. From the beginning of their arrival in America, the colonists began pushing the Native Americans west. In the early years, before America won its independence, they…

The United States in the 19th Century was at the finest moment in their history as they entered into a new political, economic, and social movement that would build America to what it is today. In the early parts of the century, we had purchased incredible amounts of vast land, won a war against the most powerful country in the world, and started an early landmark movement called the Industrial Revolution, the start to what would be known as manifest destiny later in the century. Andrew…

They were marched around 1,200 miles to eastern Oklahoma, then known as Indian Territory. Thousands died from disease and exposure on the way. This was Such a devastating event to the Native Americans that it became known as the Trail of Tears. Once that had been accomplished, settlers decided they should be able to have any land on the west side of the Mississippi River, too. Several hundred Cheyenne were killed in the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864 . In 1890 , Lakota people were Killed…
