unforgivable historical events such as the American Genocide Trail of Tears have effectively portrayed America’s incapability to follow John Winthrop’s A Model of Christian Charity. With over 125,000 Native Americans obtaining useful lands on Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina and Florida, Andrew Jackson, the current president of the United States, and Congress decided that the best way to help their country expand was to initiate an act of deep immoral monstrosity that would result to defy the

Native Americans had been able to do what they wanted until Christopher Columbus “founded” America in 1492 (stated by History.com) , which then, everything changed for them. The native’s lives have been affected in the past, present, and will be affected in the future. They have been treated unfairly by the Americans, which has caused their culture to decrease over the years. Native American’s culture, history, and daily life have been affected by European migration into the Americas. Native Americans

The one that is technically called the "Trail of Tears" started at the Cherokee Agency and headed northwest to Nashville, Tennessee, and then to Kentucky. From there the Cherokee headed to Ohio then they left from there and headed southwest to the Oklahoma Territory. In general the settlers who saw the Cherokee Indians moving west did not really care or feel bad for them. Some

The generalization that, "The decision of the Jackson administration to remove the Cherokee Indians to lands west of the Mississippi River in the 1830s was more a reformulation of the national policy that had been in effect since the 1790s than a change in that policy," is valid. Every since the American people arrived at the New World they have continually driven the Native Americans out of their native lands. Many people wanted to contribute to this removal of the Cherokees and their society. Knox

The Trail of Tears was a forced relocation of dozens of Native American tribes due to expanding land for the white men (Trail of Tears). Many battles were fought and many people died. In the end, many tribes walked thousands of miles to Oklahoma, and thousands died on the harsh journey (Cherokee Trail of Tears). The Trail of Tears depicts one of the most brutal genocides in American History. First, in 1836, President Andrew Jackson presented Congress with a treaty that negotiated with the Iowas

Towards the end of the 18th century, the new government of the United States started looking for ways to deal with the Cherokee, one of the largest Native American populations East of the Mississippi River. The initial approach was an attempt to assimilate them into the new American population. That was followed by an effort to contain them, and later, the newly elected President Jackson opted for the relocation of the Cherokee from Northwest Georgia to West of the Mississippi River. The situation

The Cherokees were a part of the Five Civilised Tribes. They were mainly known for being a part of the Indian Removal Act. In 1830, President Andrew Jackson had ordered the Cherokees to move yet he did say that he would give a better area of land to the Cherokees to persuade them to move. Then, the Cherokees had moved away to another area. Which lead to many bad things for them as people died from this act although that didn’t stop them from living the way that they did. The Cherokees lives were

Should we be apologetic or celebrating Andrew Jackson’s death? Lots of people say we should be apologetic because he had pushed american farther than any other president has before. For example, Jackson had been in the army at the age of 13. The story had been told that one day at boot camp, a soldier asked Andrew to polish his shoes. But Andrew simply replied no. When he said no to the general, the general got so mad that he sliced him across the face with a sword they he keeps in his belt. So Andrew

Andrew 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. He would continue on to became a hero of New Orleans after fighting the Seminoles, Creoles, and the British. Jackson was voted into office in 1828 and left in 1837. He then retired to his mansion called the Hermitage and would die of tuberculosis in 1845. Many historians have had to asked themselves an important
