President Jackson believed in a strict  following of the constitution, as well as individual states rights. Important to note, Jackson was also in support of the extension of slavery into western states, many of which were resided by Native Americans. He encouraged congress to to accept and pass removal acts like this one. The Indian Removal act was supported especially by white southerners in hope of expansion south for more land. The tribes the most greatly affected from the removal of their land were the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Seminole peoples. Many of these tribes resisted giving up all of their territory though the creation of a new tribal government which was based off of the United States government. The Cherokees in particular, wrote a constitution and created a two house legislature. In hope for cooperation, Jackson gave the natives financial and material assistance as he kicked them off of their own land.]]> 2022-02-24 17:52:02 UTC https://padlet.com/professorljsclassroom/3un93lneybciub9n/wish/2065039584 https://padlet.com/professorljsclassroom/3un93lneybciub9n/wish/2065040587 During the 1830s, the U.S. was expanding rapidly, and what we know now as western expansion, was one of the main causes for the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The nation was in the middle of existential growth, which by many was key to the nation's health. Land ownership showed wealth and power to many, and as a result Americans became greedy and pushed west for more lad, pushing out any native tribes that may have been in the way. The emergence of manifest destiny also become prevalent during this time, making Americans believe that it was their duty to expand all the way west, and making them do anything in their will to make it happen, making the Indian Removal Act of 1830 a result of manifest destiny and western expansion. Though many Americans were in favor of the act, many were also opposed which lead to arguments and eventually being passed through congress after a heated debate. Simply the reason for the Indian Removal Act of 1830 was to make westward pension easier for Americans, as many believed Native's were making the goal of American's "manifest destiny" unobtainable, thus having the urge to gt rid of them. Andrew Jackson was also a main leader of why the Indian Removal Act came to be, as he was one of it's biggest advocates and dedicated much of his time to designing and implementing the treaty within southern American States.

He went in with troops  to defeat them and destroyed all their man/military power that they had. This forced the Indians to surrender more than 20 million acres of their land between tribes including the Creek, Cherokee, Choctaw  and Chicksaw. The Indian tribes realized they simply couldn't defeat these new settlers which was hard for them to accept because this is the only lifestyle they knew and the only place they ever knew as "Home". They thought if they surrendered that they might end up with a better deal, get to keep some of their land, and maybe able to keep the peace versus if they tried to fight back when they knew they couldn't. Jackson then encouraged congress to follow through with this removal act where the Indian tribes were given land west of the Mississippi River on one condition; they had to give up their land. This let the Indians live under protection of the Government even till this day. There are certain Indian reservations where people aren't allowed to build or colonize. ]]> 2022-02-24 17:53:26 UTC https://padlet.com/professorljsclassroom/3un93lneybciub9n/wish/2065042120 https://padlet.com/professorljsclassroom/3un93lneybciub9n/wish/2065049723 https://youtu.be/knb-kFEOx2M

Jackson is President from 1829-1837

Most famous removal trek is Trail of Tears (1838-1839)

By the mid-1820s, it was entirely clear to the government that white settlers and slave owners would not tolerate or entertain the idea of sharing Indian territory. Many of the Indians removed were living East of the Mississippi River, or in the Southeast of the US. When being removed, they were forced to go westward, towards land that was undesirable for white settlers. This, however, excluded states such as Missouri, Iowa, and Arkansas. Many of the Indian settlers came from Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and small parts of Iowa. While what the government considered Indian Territory to be a large stretch of land, the migrant Indians were stopped in Oklahoma.  Many of the different routes passed through Tennessee, Louisiana, Kentucky, and Mississippi. Small parts of Nebraska and Kansas were offered as land, but the majority of Indian Territory given by the government resided in Oklahoma, despite the unused land in what we currently call Arizona or Nevada.]]> 2022-02-24 18:22:57 UTC https://padlet.com/professorljsclassroom/3un93lneybciub9n/wish/2065094746 https://padlet.com/professorljsclassroom/3un93lneybciub9n/wish/2065108406 https://www.nationalgeographic.org/thisday/may28/indian-removal-act/

When white settlers started to come over to the U.S. they felt threatened by these tribes so they petitioned for the government to remove the Indians from their homelands.  At the time Thomas Jefferson was our president and he suggested they should exchange their lands and the Indians should start moving West; Although he did not follow through with this decision. Many white settlers were coming over to the U.S. mostly European and they believed and decided that if they wanted the land they were going to take the land. They were forced to walk from the southeast all the way to the west where many of them died because of the conditions and resources they had;  that is how the "Trail Of Tears" came to be. ]]> 2022-02-24 19:39:52 UTC https://padlet.com/professorljsclassroom/3un93lneybciub9n/wish/2065223252
