Indian Removal Act Of 1830 Into Law. This Gave The Federal

The Indian Removal Act, inspired by Andrew Jackson; the 7th president of the US and the enhanced ambition for American settlers to find more land in the southwestern regions of North America. The Indian Removal Act enabled Jackson the power of negotiating removal treaties with Indian tribes east of the Mississippi. Among these tribes were: Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaws and Seminoles. Very few authenticated traits were signed. The Choctaws were the only tribe to agree without any issues. All other attempts resulted in War and blood shed for both white settlers and Indians. The conflict with the U.S. and Indians lasted up until 1837. In 1838 & 1839 Jackson forced the relocation of the remaining Cherokee Indians;

The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was an act that helped aid the expansion of the United States population into the southernmost states, occupied mainly by Native Americans. The act was a long time coming, especially with President Andrew Jackson, a long-time proponent of Native American removal, at the helm. This paper explores the history leading up to the law, the introduction and passage, as well as the sometimes-tragic implementation of the Indian Removal Act of 1830.

The Indian removal act of 1830 significantly impacted the Native American Indians negatively because of the false promise that was made about the relocation, The death’s of many Indians, and The US telling lies about their new home.

How would you feel if you were forced to leave your home and never come back? The Indian Removal Act forced the Native Americans to move into new Indian Territory even though the Indians inhabited the lands first. In 1830, Andrew Jackson passed the Indian Removal Act and forced Native Americans to sign treaties. These treaties forced Native Americans to move to lands west of the Mississippi (Davidson 339). The Indian Removal Act was therefore out of order because the Indians were the first inhabitants of the land, the Americans cheated them on treaties and trades, and the Indians were treated horribly by the Americans.

On May 28, 1830, Jackson signed the Removal Act, which “authorized the president to grant unsettled lands west of the Mississippi River in exchange for Indian lands within existing state borders.” (Legends, 1) As incentives to the Indians to sign the Removal treaties, the government promised financial assistance for relocation and the protection of the United States government forever. (Indian, 2) In 1831, the Choctaw were the first to leave under threat of United States Army invasion. They were forced to leave on foot without any supplies or food with some in chains. Thousands of Choctaw died. (Trail, 3) In 1835, the Treaty of New Echota was signed which forced the Cherokee to be removed during the Fall and Winter of 1838 and 1839. Approximately 4,000 Cherokees died. (Legends, 2) In 1836, the Creeks were also forced from their land. 3,500 Creeks did not survive the journey. This forced march of more than 1,200 miles to the new Indian Territory became known as the Trail of Tears because of the thousands that died along the way from diseases and starvation. (Trail, 3-4) By 1837, President Andrew Jackson’s removal act had removed 46,000 Native Americans from their land, and he already had treaties in place for the removal of more. (Legends

The Indian Removal Act was signed into law by President Jackson in 1830. President Jackson decided to have the Indians moved to lands west of the Mississippi River. Believing this offered the best hope to sanctuary peace and protect the Indians from being dispersed and demolished. This removal was intended to be voluntary but groups of Indians were strongly pressured to go. These migrations often turned into forced marches during which led to many perishing.

Henry Clay, a senator from Kentucky, proposed several measures in an attempt to save the Union. This was called the Compromise of 1850. It included the following measures: 1) California enters the union as a free state, 2) the territories of Utah and New Mexico will be able to decide for themselves if they want to be free or slave states 3) enforcement of a strict fugitive slave law 4) abolition of slave trade in the District of Columbia (Washington, DC) 5) Payment to Texas of $10,000,000 to give up certain claims to New Mexico and land north of Missouri Compromise line

The Indian Removal Act was signed into law on May 28th 1930 during the presidency of Andrew Jackson. Perhaps best known as the black eye of the administration and overshadowing his presidency’s accomplishments, the Indian Removal Act was passed into law to allow the president to negotiate with Indians to purchase land they occupied and offer them lands west of the Mississippi. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 could also amount to pure greed and racism, the beginning of the arrogance of Americans in the belief that we deserve to take something just because we want it.

The Indian Removal Act was passed by Congress on May 28, 1830, during the presidency of Andrew Jackson. The law authorized the president to negotiate with southern Native tribes for their removal to federal territory west of the Mississippi River in exchange for their ancestral homelands. However, the removal of the tribes was not justified by any moral means.

From its establishment until the Civil War, the United States remained divided between the Southern slave states and the Northern free states. This issue became more prominent and problematic as new territories applied for statehood and occasionally tipped the balance of free and slave states. In 1820, the Missouri Compromise established a line at 36 degrees 30 minutes - the northern boundary of Missouri - that allowed slavery south of the boundary line and prohibited it to the north. However, the admission of California as a free state, despite it being divided by the 36°30' line, as well as the establishment of popular sovereignty - the ability of the citizens of the states to vote whether it would be a free or slave state - in Kansas

The Indian Removal was a policy of the government of the United States in the 19th century whose objective was to move the native American tribes that lived in the east of the Mississippi River to lands west of the river. Due to the rapid increase of the population of the country, the U.S. government urged the Indian tribes to sell their land in exchange for a new Indian territory outside the borders of the United then existing. This process was accelerated with the adoption of the Law of Forced Relocation of the Indians in 1830, which provided funds to the President Andrew Jackson to carry out land exchange treaties.With the election of President Andrew Jackson in 1829, the only large concentrations of indigenous tribes that remained on the

In 1830, President Jackson addressed Congress stating two Native tribes had accepted the terms of the Indian Removal Act. Jackson said he hoped the two tribes consent would set an example for the other tribes to leave because he thought leaving was an advantage for them. He explained, “It puts an end to all possible danger of collision between the authorities of the General and State governments on account of the Indians.” The two different civilizations didn’t agree, which lead to violent conflicts that lasted centuries. Thirty years, the United States had tried to find a way to get the two civilizations end the violent affairs. The Indian Removal Act became the United States government’s solution that ended the violent encounters. This Act removed the Natives from northern Tennessee, southern Louisiana, western Alabama and the state of Mississippi, which helped the United States become stronger when they fought off foreign attacks.

When the Indian Removal act of 1830 was enacted, the Cherokee Nation panicked. The Cherokee, specifically the romanticized Tsali, did their best to preserve their culture in the mountains of North Carolina, but what really saved them from their harsh fate that so many other Cherokee faced, was there white chief, William Holland Thomas. The Cherokee were “disagreeable and dangerous neighbors,” but they had a powerful ally in Raleigh, who saved the Eastern Band from a much harsher fate. The Eastern Band, with a strong helping hand from William Thomas, proved themselves not only in war or battle circumstances, but also in a social stance as well.

The Indian Removal Act was a law passed by Congress on May 28, 1830, while Andrew Jackson was the president. The law approved the president to ask the Indians to move to land west of the Mississippi River in exchange for their homelands. There were many arguments president Andrew Jackson and the other members of the United States government used to convince society that the Indian Removal was best for everyone. For example, the members of the US government tried to persuade the Indians that their removal was a good idea by saying it would save them from extinction, free them from the power of the states, help them pursue happiness their own way and stop them form separating amongst themselves. The US government also told them that they would

The problem was that California wanted to join the United States as a state, but half of California was right in the middle of the 36'30 latitude line. Would California become a free state, a slave state, or even both? Henry Clay came up with a compromise to solve this problem, his idea had 4 parts to it. California would become a free state, New Mexico and Utah territories would be created and slavery would be determined by popular sovereignty (the people in that territory would vote if they wanted slavery or not), it outlawed slave trade in Washington DC, and a stricter Fugitive Slave Act would be passed. The South liked that a stricter Fugitive Act would be passed, which stated that it would be a crime to help runaway slaves, New Mexico and Utah territories would be created, as well.
