    How Did Andrew Jackson Change To Our Country

    In 1814 he commanded the U.S. military forces that defeated a faction of the Creek nation. In their defeat, the Creeks lost 22 million acres of land in southern Georgia and central Alabama. As president, he continued to try and acquire more Indian land for white settlers who wanted to grow cotton, much like him. In 1830 Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act which allowed the government to move the Indians out of cotton rich land, and into Indian reservations out west. This travel took a toll on many of the tribes, and the journey the Indians took came to be known as the “Trail of Tears”. In addition, there was the Supreme Court case of Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, where the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Cherokee Nation. This ruling of the Supreme Court did not stop Jackson and his followers from driving the Cherokees off of their land, which people viewed unconstitional from Jackson’s part.…

    Civil War: The Louisiana Purchase And The Trail Of Tears

    The Unites States of America is renowed by the battles fought for freedom, human rights, and pursuit of happiness. Even though part of the battles fought were against our own nation, such as the Civil War, those challenges were made in order to build a stronger, more equal, and better nation for all. Some significant events, which were studied during this class, were the Revolutionary War, the Louisiana Purchase, and the Trail of Tears. However, as every other nation at some point of their history, we have committed the evil to our own people in order to achieve our own greed, such as the Trail of Tears. The Trail of Tears was the violent and inhuman removal of the Cherokee tribe from their own land, and moved to the West of the Mississippi…

    Free States V Slave States

    The Compromise of 1850 included four laws. California entered the union as a free state. A stricter Fugitive Slave Law requires that escaped slaves be returned. Slave trade prohibited in Washington D.C. Popular Sovereignty vote of the people living in the territory. Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe was the best selling book of the nineteenth century. This book caused many to oppose slavery. This showed Americans what slavery has done and this book opened up northern eyes against slavery. This caused the Southern to be outraged because now they have to deal with all the negative northern remarks. The last event is John Brown’s Raid at Harper’s Ferry. In 1859 John Brown led a small group against a federal arsenal. His plan was to seize the weapons and lead a slave uprising. Even though he was unsuccessful and was also executed he became a Northern hero. This incident increased the distrust that was already between the Southern and the North.…

    Essay On The Jacksonian Era

    Jackson wanted these “savages” to be pushed to the west and had the army force 18,000 men, women, and children into barriers and then forced them to move west with at least twenty-five percent dying during the winter of 1838 (Lecture). Today, this is known as the Trail of Tears, which was the removal route from Georgia to the area of present-day Oklahoma (US: A Narrative History, 213). Last of all, the Trail of Tears would be seen as a humanitarian disaster due to the number of deaths that occurred during the deportation from the east…
