Cherokee Removal
In my opinion the removal of the Cherokee Indians wasn't justified at all. The Cherokee Indians had settled in Georgia a long time before the European settlers had settled. Now you would think that the government would respect the fact that the Cherokee Indians were there first and that they adapted to the land first. Congress had no right to pass an act called the Indian Removal Act. This act allowed Jackson to go on with his goal of relocating Eastern Native American west of the Mississippi River. Then Georgia's lawmakers decided to say that Cherokees could n
ot testify against any white man or dig for gold in their own nation. But yet those settlers had no problem causing pain and harm to them. They didn't even get to reach their new home. They were/are called the National party. The white settlers caused so much pain and suffering. If you're going to take away what is so close and dear to them, then you should just make them slave, because you already taken away their hopes, dreams, and pride. I would be apart of the National party. But there were 18,000 Cherokee Indians weren't that reluctant to go. Nobody deserves to be uprooted from his or her home for any type of reason. And yet I still wouldn't be satisfied at what happened. No person should deserve all of this no matter what race they are. I wouldn't move until they personally picked me up and dragged me to my new home. They had to travel 1,000 miles to their new territory, and on that long journey 4,000 Indians died.
