The tribes agreed to the treaties for strategic reasons. They wanted to appease the government in the hopes of retaining some of their land, and they wanted to protect themselves from white harassment. As a result of the treaties, the United States gained control over three-quarters of Alabama and Florida, as well as parts of Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky and North Carolina. This was a period of voluntary Indian migration, however, and only a small number of Creeks, Cherokee and Choctaws actually moved to the new lands.]]> 2017-11-16 13:46:51 UTC https://padlet.com/reannahdonoghue13/2o7d9k2qekbi/wish/207648540 20105529 https://padlet.com/reannahdonoghue13/2o7d9k2qekbi/wish/207648992  By 1837, the Jackson administration had removed 46,000 Native American people from their land east of the Mississippi, and had secured treaties which led to the removal of a slightly larger number. Most members of the five southeastern nations had been relocated west, opening 25 million acres of land to white settlement and to slavery.

A few tribes went peacefully, but many resisted the relocation policy.]]> 2017-11-16 13:50:56 UTC https://padlet.com/reannahdonoghue13/2o7d9k2qekbi/wish/207650843 20105529 https://padlet.com/reannahdonoghue13/2o7d9k2qekbi/wish/207651496 The U.S. Government used treaties as one means to displace Indians from their tribal lands, a mechanism that was strengthened with the Removal Act of 1830. In cases where this failed, the government sometimes violated both treaties and Supreme Court rulings to facilitate the spread of European Americans westward across the continent]]> 2017-11-16 13:52:04 UTC https://padlet.com/reannahdonoghue13/2o7d9k2qekbi/wish/207651496 reannahdonoghue13 https://padlet.com/reannahdonoghue13/2o7d9k2qekbi/wish/207651790 2017-11-16 13:52:31 UTC https://padlet.com/reannahdonoghue13/2o7d9k2qekbi/wish/207651790 20105529 https://padlet.com/reannahdonoghue13/2o7d9k2qekbi/wish/207651838  With the exception of a small number of Seminoles still resisting removal in Florida, by the 1840s, from the Atlantic to the Mississippi, no Indian tribes resided in the American South. Through a combination of coerced treaties and the contravention of treaties and judicial determination, the United States Government succeeded in paving the way for the westward expansion and the incorporation of new territories as part of the United States. ]]> 2017-11-16 13:52:36 UTC https://padlet.com/reannahdonoghue13/2o7d9k2qekbi/wish/207651838 20105529 https://padlet.com/reannahdonoghue13/2o7d9k2qekbi/wish/207652615
