Andrew Jackson's Attitude Towards Native Americans Between 1838 And 1839
In 1838 and 1839 Andrew Jackson from Tennessee was forceful on Indian Removal, and from 1814 to 1824 jackson was instrumental in negotiating nine out of 11 treaties, which had devastated the southern tribes of their eastern lands in the west. So the Cherokee indians were tired of it so they went to the supreme court. The n in 1830 Jackson pushed a whole new piece of legislation called the “Indian Removal Act”. Jackson’s attitude towards the Native Americans came off as rude because he did not like the Indians and he wanted them gone. By 1837, Jackson’s administration had removed over 46,000 Native American people from their land east of the Mississippi River, Most of the Indian Territories had been relocated west. In 1838 as a part of Andrew
Jackson’s Indian Removal Act/policy the Indian nation was forced to give up their land and travel to find land somewhere else and now have to adapt to a whole new environment up to lands by the mississippi river and traveled their way down to the state of oklahoma. They came up with a name for this trail and they called it “The Trail Of Tears” because of its devastating effects.
During the 19th century the rapidly growing U.S expanded into the lower south, the area was home to the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chicasaw, and Seminole nations. As Andrew Jackson created the Indian Removal Act the Cherokee went to the surpreme court, the Creeks also refused to emigrate, and the Chicksaws had seen removal as inevitable and had not resisted. The Cherokee were tricked with an illegitimate treaty and so they were given 2 years to migrate voluntarily. During the roundup chief ross appeated to president van buren and to permit the cherokee to oversee their own removal, Van buren consented, and Ross and his brother lewis administered the effort and the cherokees were then divided into 16 detatchments about 1000 each,while othere detachments followed the southerr n=n routeIndian territory problem quickly developed among new arrivals.
