The comparison of the early Westward movement and the Euroamerican settlement of Oklahoma were almost identical. The Indian tribal leaders “Twin C’s” and “Coercion” decided to move onto former Indian lands obtained by the U.S government. The Indians, pioneer farmers, and their families had to live in rude shelters. The Indians needs and wishes were as usual ignored by the government. Before the first land opening in 1889, congress was waiting to create a relatively large territory by legislative

The state of Georgia has a long and rich history as one of the original thirteen colonies that made up the colonial United States. In 1733 James Oglethorpe founded the colony of Georgia. Oglethorpe envisioned Georgia as a refuge for people who were in debt and the poor. In 1732, King George II approved the colony’s charter, hence the name “Georgia” named in honor of the King. On February 12, 1733 Oglethorpe and over 100 other colonists settled in present day Savannah. The purpose of this colony was

Appealing to the highest court might be an effective on, but it would not have any actual leverage considering the political structure of the federal government. For example, in Worcester v. Georgia 1832, although the Court ruled that Georgia did not have any authority to regulate “passage into the Indian country,” Jackson did refuse to uphold the ruling. [4] Some Indian tribes such as the Seminole Indians rebelled against the federal government, but were crushed

After reading the “The Last of the Mohicans” book by James Fennimore Cooper in 1826, I have noticed that the book reflects several historical events happen in the 1757, during the French and Indian War. Not only that, it also shows me the reason why the Native Americans lost their lands from the Bristish’s invasion. The book has provided me many useful information about the war and the Mohican Tribe. There are tons of aspect that made the book more interesting and unique, such as the Long Rifle,

1. Before the Indian Removal Act was proposed, the Cherokee and Seminoles were adapting to the European culture. They lived in areas in the southeast region of the country with the Choctaw, Creek, and Chickasaw. They occupied so much land that many white planters wanted it for themselves. Andrew Jackson passed the Indian Removal Act to get the Seminoles and Cherokees out of the land. He wanted them to leave so he can use the land for himself. Some Native American tribes moved voluntarily, but the

attitudes of the people of that current time period. In this research paper we will use the cases of Worchester v. Georgia and Cherokee v. Georgia to show how the Supreme Court interpreted the rights of the Native Americans and how the decisions were influenced by that current time period. The precursor of the two Supreme Court cases that we are discussing started in 1828 when Georgia developed laws to take away the basic human rights of the Cherokee Indians. The laws also said that the Cherokee

Tecumseh was a war chief and political leader of the Shawnee. Tecumseh was known for series of raids of Kentucky and Tennessee as well as becoming a prominent chief. Tecumseh was born in 1768 in Ohio country. He had two brothers name Tenskwatawa and Cheeseekau which he slowly transformed his brother ( Tenskwatawa ) religious and into a political movement. Tecumseh father was killed in 1779 and his mother migrated with a small group to Missouri. Since Tecumseh was a Great War chief he took

At a time when the Indians were being driven from their home lands and food sources were scarce a Shawnee Indian named Tecumseh emerged as a leader and later became a War Chief. The Americans were encroaching on the Indians lands and disregarding the treaties that were in place. In addition, some tribes were selling off their land to the Americans. This book discusses his life and his journey to get all of the Indians to join forces to become an Indian Confederacy. It addition, his brother Tenskwatawa

exactly happened during this trek, how far they travelled (where they came from and where they ended up), and how they were treated. The Indians, numbering about 16,000, were forced off their lands when Georgia citizens and the president of the US ignored the decision from Worcester v. Georgia. Almost 4,000 Indians died on the trail (including those victims who died in the stockades awaiting forced transportation), in order to empty their tribal lands and make them available for new white settlers

Leander joins the army, he heads south in Sherman’s march (the march to the sea). During this time, he passes through and trains in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia. During his first battle (a skirmish), Leander had his arm blown off by his poor gun tending. He was then sent to an awful smelling mansion hospital in Rome, Georgia. Here, the Coosa River flows, and opens the way to one of the most poorly made prison camps of the war…
