Dbq Indian Removal
There were some reasons why the Cherokees moved in the first place. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 justified because the Indians did things that are very uncalled for. They did things like, scalping men, women, and children alive. and They also burned them on stakes. Also the Cherokees agree to move because they signed a treaty that if they sign it they agreed to move. Plus when they move they get to receive five million dollars and they also get a lot of land. So the Cherokees agree to move and get land and five million dollars and the Americans don’t want to die.
The first reason why the Cherokees moved is because they kill a whole bunch of people. First they did the most gruesome thing possible, which is to scalpe men, women, and children …show more content…
Once the Indians or Cherokees sign the treaty, it is set that the Cherokees agreed to move. But not all of the Cherokees signed the treaty and they did not agree to move. Only a few Cherokees signed the treaty, so that means that some Indians agreed to move but they all moved anyways.
The last reason is that when they signed the treaty and agree to move they also receive things. First the tribe gets five million dollars. Who would not want five million dollars. Next they receive 70,000 square miles of Louisiana. The new land that they received might be larger than where the Cherokees were in the first place. But the Cherokees are a tribe so all they need is the land and not the moneys because they are not citizens. Also they may not want to move to another land because where they are in the first place is where their ancestors and others passed away or died so they would not want to move away from their ancestors.
Those were the reasons why the Cherokees were moved by the Americans. The Americans moved the Cherokees because the Americans don’t want them to kill innocent American citizens. Also they agreed to move by signing the treaty. When they signed the treaty they also got five million dollars. That is why the Americans moved the Cherokees in
