Who are the ladies of Steubenville, Ohio? Did they write the memorial themselves?

Can we determine exactly which Native Americans the ladies were referring to?

The ladies wrote the memorial and signed it beneath, using their right to protest.]]> 2018-03-01 21:43:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiyab2022/ssnc6k4iy14o/wish/237203878 sofiyab2022 https://padlet.com/sofiyab2022/ssnc6k4iy14o/wish/237204915 The "Indian Removal" was something the American government did to basically get rid of Natives and to take their land. Their way of thinking was that overtime America would take over all of the land. They gave the Natives two options: give up your government and keep your land or you can stay with your tribe and keep your government but then you would have to give up your land. ]]> 2018-03-01 21:46:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiyab2022/ssnc6k4iy14o/wish/237204915 sofiyab2022 https://padlet.com/sofiyab2022/ssnc6k4iy14o/wish/237206559 A memorial is another term for petition.]]> 2018-03-01 21:52:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiyab2022/ssnc6k4iy14o/wish/237206559 studentsforequality https://padlet.com/sofiyab2022/ssnc6k4iy14o/wish/237207689 This memorial did not have any effect because although the Ladies used their right to petition, the senate and representatives of the state ignored the petition.

Technically the Natives signed a contract giving away their land. If they were to not sign it we bet that there would still be consequences so they didn't have a choice. This also leads to the fact that they didn't know English, the white people could've easily lied. Another point is that no matter which side the Natives took it was a loose for them. They either gave up their government which would lead to the Americans taking over everything, at this time the Natives didn't have any rights. Therefore, the government could do basically anything with them. If they give up their land, the white government will slowly push them off no matter how far they go, eventually there will be no other choice for them than to join the white government. This is a crime! ]]> 2018-03-01 21:58:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiyab2022/ssnc6k4iy14o/wish/237208479
