Period 3 Class - Indian Removal: Was it the right thing to do? by Paul Levesque https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg Was the United States justified in taking the Native Americans land that they had been living on for hundreds of years and relocating them somewhere else?

We didn't have the consent to take their land. They rightfully owned the land and it was cruel and very unethical to kill and steal the land from them. The Americans had already taken much of the natives land Already and to take more would be unfair and America was already large. Since the Americans had relocated the Natives they would not have the same freedom they had in their home lands. They wouldn't have the range to hunt and farm on their new land that the americans had located them to.

Because of this many people were killed and there were many wars. I also believe that the comment said by Chief Osceola of the Seminole Indians "I will make the white man red with blood and then blacken him in the sun and rain, where the wolf shall smell his bones and the vulture live upon his flesh." Was a lot to be said because of his land being taken. If I were him I would be extremely mad but would travel far a way from the conflict and the begin to make my own land/home.

I think this because they claimed that land first and were there first. They were not doing anything bad to the land and were not hurting any of the U.S citizens. Even though they did not hurt anybody and the american people  hurt/killed the, for no reason being. All the Americans did was push the natives away. The U.S. had no reason being to take the land away from the Natives.]]> 2019-01-29 15:02:00 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417637 Myles L https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417641 I believe that the American Indians rightfully owned the land and that it was wrong to take it from them, at least in war. To buy land is okay, but to take their land really isn't okay. They take their land and relocate them to small places where there is nothing for them. They don't have free range to hunt and live on the land. They kill Native Indians and in turn they kill us. We had several wars over land and much blood was spilled. All that for land. Kind of stupid if you ask me. It has no purpose. If we want to settle west, buy the land. And there is no "Divine right" to take the Indian's land. They own it. They were there first. Yet we went on several wars that were a liking to the crusades. That is why the Americans were wrong in taking the Native American's land.]]> 2019-01-29 15:02:01 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417641 Charlotte S 25csiccardi https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417651 I think that we should not have taken the land.  We have enough land as it is and I think that there was no need kill people.  This also started war.   If you need to kill people and start wars, then is it really that worth it? Also, before we got the land the Native Americans had it, and we shouldn't of taking it away from them. It was theirs to begin with so we did not have any right to just take it away from them. Were would they have gone, the US could have killed kids, moms dad, grandparents just for a bit of land.]]> 2019-01-29 15:02:02 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417651 Jacob B https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417665 I think Americans were wrong for taking the land. The Indians originally owned it. It's not fair for Native Americans to be killed just so America can have their land. The Native Americans owned the land for hundreds of years. It is cruel to just take their land and at the same time kill the Native Americans so the U.S. has total control over it.]]> 2019-01-29 15:02:02 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417665 Ryan R https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417681 I think the Americans were wrong for taking the Native Americans land. The Native Americans had the land first and it was wrong for the Americans to take over there land. The Natives would not want the Americans to take the land that they lived on. The Americans killed some Natives for the land. The only reason why they got to expand Westward was because they killed off the Native Americans. The Americans didn't even trade with the Natives they just came in and killed some of the Natives. If the Americans were to offer money to trade for the land that would be good but they didn't. We were very selfish for killing the Natives for land. The Natives owned that land before us. No one would want some random American to take away something were they lived and they would not want someone to take away someones life for land]]> 2019-01-29 15:02:05 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417681 Kayla B https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417691 No, I don't think that the United States was justifed in taking the Native American's land. We didn't have the consent of the Native Americans to take there land making it unfair. We didn't care about there lives and were pretty heartless for walking in like that. If I was a Native American I would be furious because it's my land and my home and you can't just walk in expecting that you can take it all from me. Even though we did end up taking it all from them. The fact that we also took many Native American's lives is even worse. They did nothing to us and we just came in wanting all of this land. So, no I don't think we did the right thing and we really don't deserve all the land we have now.]]> 2019-01-29 15:02:05 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417691 Katarina K https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417706 I think the Amarcina should have not take the Indian land. The reason is there was more than one war. Also the Indian where there first and the Amarcina's did not get it they just taked the Indian land. ]]> 2019-01-29 15:02:07 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417706 Melissa M https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417721 I believe that was to not  expand westward. I think this because  the native american had it first and both of Chief disagree for them to not expand it.  Tecumseh, Shawnee Chief said  "The white people have no right to take the land from the Indians because the Indians had it first."   Chief Osceola of the Seminole Indians said " "I will make the white man red with blood and then blacken him in the sun and rain, where the wolf shall smell his bones and the vulture live upon his flesh."  I think Chief Osceola of the Seminole Indians meant was to fight for the land. Also for Tecumseh, Shawnee Chief  meant was unfair for them if they expand westward .]]> 2019-01-29 15:02:08 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417721 Ithiel.K https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417723 To me it really depends on what kind of tribe it is like for example, if a tribe was revaultant or rebelious then I think that might have been neccesary. But on the other hand they were kicked out of their own land. A place that they lived in for many years. If the Americans haven't kicked out the native americans would have stil been in America today.  ]]> 2019-01-29 15:02:08 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417723 Logan https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417725 I think the Americans had no right of taking the land of Indians. The Indians had the land first and Americans can't just take it. The Indians did nothing wrong to disturb the Americans. Americans just took a bunch of their land and moved them into smaller land. It is disrespecting the Indians property. The Americans should have just accepted their small amount of land instead of taking a bunch of Native American land.]]> 2019-01-29 15:02:09 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417725 Carson R https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417740 I Think that the Americans were wrong in taking the land from the Native Americans. I think that since the Native Americans had the land first, the Americans had no right to take it from them. I feel like nobody would want something important to them taken away by someone else, I think that the Native Americans had the right to keep their land and own the land. I also think that the Americans definitely had no right to kill the Native Americans either. They can't take their own land and then kill them and take it over, I believe the United States was wrong in taking the land from the Natives. ]]> 2019-01-29 15:02:11 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417740 Jad E. https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417769 I think that the Americans were wrong by taking the land of Native Americans because they killed the Native Americans For land that was already claimed. Even if it was done differently, it would still be wrong because the land was rightfully claimed already. If the Americans gave the Native Americans an offer for money and they agreed, then it would have been Okay and fair. It is selfish to kill rightful owners of something so you can claim it.]]> 2019-01-29 15:02:14 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417769 Dᴀɴᴛᴇ D. https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417816 I don't think that it was right for the Americans should take all of the land. I think that because some of the other countries should have a little bit of land because some of those other countries didn't have enough land, or their land wasn't too small. And also what is that point if the Americans killed the Native Americans even though the land was already claimed?! Maybe some of the other countries in the world don't have any of the land, so they should be able to take some of it. And that is just being selfish not giving land to other countries. Maybe another idea is that they can all join forces and share all of the land equally, (but only the people who don't have land should be able to take some of our land).]]> 2019-01-29 15:02:18 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417816 Dario M https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417871 I think The american were wrong to kill the native american just to take their land. The native were there first, like when great Britain was trying to take away are land and try to control us. ]]> 2019-01-29 15:02:25 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417871 Daniel D https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417886 The U.S was wrong to take the Indians land because the Indians had it first.  Also because they had it for hundreds of years. The U.S was wrong to take there land because the Indians were killed because of it. Also the U.S had enough land as it is so they did not need to take the Indians.  ]]> 2019-01-29 15:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417886 Isabella L https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325417944 i do not think that this was right for the Americans to take there homes and people where killed so no i do not think this was right. it was not fare.

I think this because it wasn't there land it was the Native Americans. The Native Americans were already there and had already claimed the land when the Americans got there. The Americans Forced them out of there own land. Which I think is very unfair. They had to kill innocent people to get this land. Why was it so important to them they already had 13 colones. Also they didn't just take some of there land they too all of the land that the Native Americans had. The Amercians caused more then one war just for some land ]]> 2019-01-29 15:02:58 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325418200 Jacob F https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325418314 I feel that it was wrong that the Americans took the Native Americans land by expanding westward because the Natives were living there way before the Americans were even thinking of exploring the places were the Natives lived. They should of just left them alone. The Natives were not bothering the Americans at all. They just wanted to have peace with the Americans, but the Americans wouldn't stop taking the Natives land. So the Natives had enough. So they had a war, and many people had lost there lives. I know if the Americans didn't take the Natives land there would probably wouldn't be a war. ]]> 2019-01-29 15:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325418314 Anna K https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325418720 I think that the United states were wrong in Removal of the Indians, It was truthfully wrong to remove all of the Indians from their tribes, the land that the Native Americans claimed. The United States was a young but big country, it was young but it was bigger that most countries in Europe. The Americans at the time thought that it was a natural right to have the United States expand westward.When the United States did move westward, they invaded into the Native American territory, and during that process killed many of Native Americans, that ruined many families of Native Americans, ruined the tribes of Native Americans and some of the habit of animals. The Americans should of gave a big chunk of land to the Native Americans, and not take all of the Land to the United States. ]]> 2019-01-29 15:03:46 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325418720 Pamela https://padlet.com/paul_levesque1_1/x6ta4d31iiqg/wish/325418866 I think that the Americans were wrong in taking the land from the native Americans. I think that it wasn't right of them because The Native Americans wanted the land to themselves, the native Americans had the land first  so they should've had the land first.
It wasn't fare because the native mericans were being killed for this land. The federal government of the United States also  forced Native Americans to give up their ancestral lands and move west.
