nineteenth century, the United States’ population boomed, causing people to start to move west in search of riches and vast lands in the “wild west.” However, as white settlers moved west, they started to encounter more and more Native American lands. The white settlers wanted to be able to settle on their lands, claiming that they were “misusing” the land and claiming that the Native Americans were “uncivilized.” The white settlers pled their case to the United States government to forcibly remove

Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, came to power with one important promise to the American people: the removal of Indian tribes “to make room for the whites”. This Indian Removal, conducted in the 1830s, affected all Indian tribes, and they responded in various ways. Some were ready to move to the west and follow orders, tired of resisting the whites and knowing that there was no other way out. However, several tribes stood on the land of their ancestors and fought to remain

There are countless similarities as well as differences between chapter 12 of “Creating America: A History of the United States” by McDougal Littell and the movie “Avatar”. Among the topics of “Avatar” and chapter 12 that share similarities and differences is why the whites wanted the Native American’s land, and why the humans wanted the land of the Na’vi people. Also, how the Natives tried to adjust. Furthermore, how the natives resisted. These are just a few examples of many that show both how

Jackson was a controversial president. Andrew Jackson was born in 1767 in a region called Waxhaw. He never had any formal education, but taught himself law and became a lawyer.

1) Black Society in Spanish Florida by Jane Landers examines how different the lives of Blacks living under Spanish rule in Florida were from those living under British or French rule. Landers argues that not all Blacks during the slavery time period were treated the same, those in Florida were not in the fields picking cotton but in a sanctuary for those who wanted the freedom they deserved. 2) The major types of resources that Landers employs are criminal, census and civil records.

The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was a law passed by President Andrew Jackson that provided the funds for the removal of the Indian tribes found in South. These tribes were the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole. Slave states, following the lead of Missouri who in the 1820s forced its Indian population to leave, saw the opportunity to expand their industry in the fielding of cotton by “converting Indian soil into slave soil.” That along with the finding of gold and simply the desire

I agree that the treatment of American Indians during the mid-1800s could be considered as ethnic cleansing. The value of land increased dramatically when cotton became the major product in the south. Many whites wanted to push west and acquired the Native American’s fertile soil. Still, many Native Americans had remained in the South. They adopted white Americans culture, attended to school, owned private property and formed constitutional, republican governments.

The Enabling factors: I have noticed in my community that there is the lack of affordable health insurance and health care, and there is a difference in socioeconomic status and class. For example, Bardmoor subdivision has a beautiful neighborhood with many well taken care of expensive homes. The income and social status are high and then ½ mile or across the street from that subdivision and you can see to the naked eye that the neighborhood are in need of repair and the people look as if they are
