native americans had been living in advanced societies throughout america for tens of thousands of years. however, president jackson and other american politicians wanted to continue america’s expansion westward. to do so the u.s. government removed native americans from western land so that american farmers could settle there. jackson pressured congress to p-ss the indian removal act in 1830, which allowed the federal government to forcefully move native americans living east of the mississippi river to lands in the farther west

9. explain: why did president jackson and other american leaders want to remove native americans from western land? (1-2 sentences)

congress then established “indian territory” – u.s. lands in modern-day oklahoma – and planned to move native americans there. supporters of this plan, such as john c. calhoun, argued that forcefully removing native americans to indian territory would protect native americans from further conflicts with american settlers. “one of the greatest evils they experience is the constant pressure of our population,” he noted. “to guard against this evil

there should be the strongest -ssurance [guarantee] that the country [‘indian territory’] given to them should be theirs.”
10. evaluate: what is hypocritical about john c. calhoun’s statement above? explain. (2 sentences)

to deal with the forced relocation of native americans to western lands, jackson created a new government agency called the bureau of indian affairs
the choctaw were the first native americans forcefully moved to “indian territory.” the mississippi legislature abolished the choctaw government and then forced the choctaw leaders to sign the treaty of dancing rabbit creek. this treaty gave more than 7.5 million acres of their land to the state of mississippi. the u.s. government forcefully moved choctaw the “indian territory” during winter. federal officials did not provide enough food or supplies to the choctaw. most of choctaw died of cold, disease, or starvation

11. evaluate: what is the paragraph above mainly about? what is one relevant detail that directly support this main idea? (2 sentences)

12. infer: look at the placement of the giant eagle in the background of this painting. what does this eagle symbolize or represent? explain. (2 sentences)

news of the terrible journey and the high number of choctaw deaths caused other native americans to resist removal. when the creek resisted in 1836, federal troops moved in and captured more than 14,500 native americans. the u.s. army led the creek, many in chains, to the “indian territory.” one creek woman remembered how the forced relocation was filled with “an awful silence of heartache and sorrow at being taken from our homes and separation from our loved ones.” the chickasaw, who lived in upper mississippi, negotiated a treaty for better supplies during the forced removal. still, many chickasaw died on the walk

many cherokee believed that they could prevent conflicts and avoid removal by adopting the contemporary culture of white people. in the early 1800s native americans invited missionaries to set up schools where cherokee children learned how to read and write in english. the cherokee developed their own government modeled after the u.s. const-tution with an election system, a bicameral (two-house) council, and a court system. a princ-p-l chief led all of these. a cherokee named sequoya used 86 characters to create a writing system for his tribe’s own complex language. in 1828 the cherokee began publishing a newspaper printed in both english and cherokee
yet, adopting some aspects of white culture did not protect the cherokee. after gold was discovered on their land in georgia, the cherokee’s treaty rights were ignored. georgia’s leaders began preparing for the cherokee’s forced removal

13. -n-lyze: why did the adoption of some aspects of white culture not protect the cherokee from removal? (1-2 sentences)

when the cherokee refused to move, the georgia militia attacked cherokee towns, k!lling innocent men, women, and children. instead of using violence, the cherokee sued the state of georgia. the cherokee argued that they were an independent nation and claimed that the government of georgia had no legal power over their lands

14. summarize: how did the cherokee resist removal from their land? (1-2 sentences)

in 1832 the supreme court agreed. led by chief justice john marshall, the supreme court decided in the case, worcester v. georgia, that the cherokee nation was its own independent community. the laws of georgia did not apply to the cherokee nation, and therefore, georgia no authority to remove the cherokee from their land. the court also stated that only the federal government, not the states, had authority over native americans
georgia and president jackson ignored the court’s ruling. “john marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it,” jackson said. by not enforcing the court’s decision, jackson violated his presidential oath to uphold the laws of the land. meanwhile, most members of congress and most american citizens supported jackson’s policy of forcefully removing native americans from western lands

15. explain: what did the supreme court decide in worcester v. georgia ruling? what was president jackson’s response? (2-3 sentences)

16. infer: why did most americans likely support jackson’s policy of forcefully removing native americans from western lands? explain. (2 sentences)

in 1838, u.s. troops began to remove all cherokee to the “indian territory.” only a few native americans were able to escape and hide in the mountains of north carolina. after the cherokee were removed, georgia took over or destroyed all cherokee businesses, farms, and property
the u.s. government forced 18,000 cherokee native americans to walk 800 miles from georgia to the “indian territory.” this march became known as the trail of tears. during the march, the cherokee encountered harsh weather and suffered from disease, hunger, and thirst. more than 4,500 cherokee died
