I think there are four main connections that can be made between this piece and the U.S policies in 1830, and all four points are about the four distinct groups present in the piece. The group on the far left is putting up a cross, which symbolizes both how Europeans moved west to spread Christianity and also symbolizes that the actions taken were made in the name of Christianity. In 1830 people, including Jeremiah Evarts were still trying to convert the Native Americans; despite trying to convert the natives, Evarts was firmly against the Indian Removal Act. I think that the piece above represents the conflicting nature of Evarts argument that the natives were people; however, they still needed to assimilate to a certain degree before they
Is america ours? Well, let's start at the beginning. After the war of 1812 georgians wanted to take the cherokee and other indian tribes land. So they came up with the indian removal act of 1812 it is promising the cherokee land and 5 million dollars if they move west. But, the cherokee and all the other indian tribes did not want to move because we come over and cheat them kill them and steal their land then after the war of 1812 we expect them to just move over to the west peacefully using the indian removal act.
Do you like getting kicked out after working hard and establishing a great community. On May 28, 1830 Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act. This act states that all the indians will have to move from their land that they had first into unknown land that is supposedly a huge hunk of the Louisiana just for them with fertile soil and a water source. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was terrible and unjustified; indians had already build up an amazing society, they were there first, and the americans have already messed with the indians. For starters, the Indians have built up a respectable town.
The Indian Removal Act helped United States expansion, and supported the unification of the nation. This opportunity for the Natives to expand their territory and prosper as a people, was beneficial for them, as well as for Americans past, present and future. We’d had past treaties with the Natives, but because of infractions on both sides, none of those were beneficial for too long. In May of 1830, the act was passed, to serve as a more permanent solution to the ongoing wars. The Indian Removal Act was a step in the right direction for the United States, as it created space for American’s to settle on, grow up with, and prosper on.
Lindsey Hernandez Johnson U.S. Honors 28 September 2015 The Indian Removal Act & Trail of Tears Picture this; someone is in their home with their family, they are the first people to ever settle in this land, Native American, with their own language, religion and one day white people come. The white people are treated with kindness and welcome, not out of dignity but out of fear. There is peace.
The Act led to an array of legal and moral arguments for and against the need to relocate the Indians westward from the agriculturally productive lands of the Mississippi in Georgia and parts of Alabama. This paper compares and contrasts the major arguments for and against the
The white men were trying to force the Cherokee out of their own land. The white men made the Indian removal act to force the Indians out no matter what. The historical question means, should the Cherokee leave or stay and if they stay they will lose all their ways but if they leave they could have their own land. People might disagree because they feel the Cherokee owned the land before any white man would have even known that land existed. My answer to the question is for the Cherokee to leave and just not bother with the men trying to make them change their ways.
Indian Removal Act(1814-1858)- http://www.loc.gov/rr/program/bib/ourdocs/Indian.html http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part4/4p2959.html https://history.state.gov/milestones/1830-1860/indian-treaties Was a law passed on May 28, 1830 by the president of the United States(Andrew Jackson) that gave the authorization for him to grant the uncolonized lands west the the Mississippi river in exchange for the Indian lands within the already existing state borders. A small number of tribes went peacefully, but many resisted the relocation policy. Andrew Jackson was a potent advocate of the Indian Removal. In the very first year of the Removal, he commanded the U.S. military forces that defeated a faction of the Creek Nation. In their insuccess, they lost 22 million acres of land.
From a historical point of view cultural assimilation happens when a person or a group loses its native culture to the dominant group in their society. On the other hand, cultural pluralism takes place when smaller group within a larger society are able to maintain their culture and belief in which are accepted in the wider society. The process of assimilation is slow and gradual because it take some time to for a person or groups to fully make an adjustment into their new society. In history, the Indian Removal Act of 1830 was passed by Congress under the administration of President Andrew Jackson. The law states that the president can authorize to negotiate with southern Native American tribes for their removal to federal territory west
Imagine having to walk over 1200 miles because someone else wants you land. In 1820 five Native American tribes the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Seminole, Cherokee, and Creek Indians were invaded by all of the white people who came to the U.S from Europe, and the white men got very settled. Ever since the white men showed up to the U.S. there was conflict with the Native Americans. The Indian Removal Act is when southern Indian tribes formed their removal of the Natives and forced them to leave all of there stuff. I believe that the Indian Removal Act is a step in the wrong direction because we were not treating the Native Americans like human beings, it went against the constitution, and jackson wanted to build a wall to separate.
The Indian Removal Act was signed in 1830 by President Andrew Jackson to remove the Cherokee Indians from their homes and force them to settle west of the Mississippi River. The act was passed in hopes to gain agrarian land that would replenish the cotton industry which had plummeted after the Panic of 1819. Andrew Jackson believed that effectively forcing the Cherokees to become more civilized and to christianize them would be beneficial to them. Therefore, he thought the journey westward was necessary. In late 1838, the Cherokees were removed from their homes and forced into a brutal journey westward in the bitter cold.
The image above shows one reason why the Indian removal act was enforced because of the phrase, "in God we trust". One big reason why the Indian removal act was enforced was Manifest Destiny. The settlers believed that this new land was given to them by God. Manifest destiny was the belief that God gave this new land to the Europeans. They felt responsibility to spread christianity all over this newfound land.
One factor that led to the removal of the Indians at the Trail of Tears was white settlers who were influenced and driven by the belief in Manifest Density to expand all the way to the Pacific Ocean(westward), but it was complicated by the discovery of gold on the Indian lands which convinced many other settlers to move into California and get Indians
The removal act period was essentially over during 1850, but the expansion continued to the American settlement. The Indian Territory was no longer a place where Native Americans could be isolated and left to their own tools. In the decades introducing the Civil War, the holdings of the relocated Indians were further shorten as the states of Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma were carved out of the lands that had been permanently set aside for American Indian use and occupancy.
When the Europeans began colonizing the New World, they had a problematic relationship with the Native Americans. The Europeans sought to control a land that the Natives inhabited all their lives. They came and decided to take whatever they wanted regardless of how it affected the Native Americans. They legislated several laws, such as the Indian Removal Act, to establish their authority. The Indian Removal Act had a negative impact on the Native Americans because they were driven away from their ancestral homes, forced to adopt a different lifestyle, and their journey westwards caused the deaths of many Native Americans.
