Question

Discuss the economic and political results of Indian Removal for white Americans, and for Native Americans. How did Indian Removal affect each of these groups, and ultimately, what do you think the long-term effects of Indian Removal has been in U.S. history?

Answer 1

The removal of Native American tribes from the territory east of the Mississippi River to Oklahoma is one of the saddest in American history. Early treaties signed by American agents and Indian tribal representatives ensured peace and fidelity on Indian soil, primarily to ensure that lucrative fur trade would continue uninterrupted. However, the famine of American settlers in Indian territories led to violent conflicts, and successful treaties generally forced tribes to give large portions of land to the U.S. government.
One of the justifications for these treaties is that Indians are migrant hunters who only track wildlife and have no contact with specific land. This justification ignores the fact that southeastern tribes cultivate significant amounts of corn and live in populated villages. Americans are already arguing over the Indian stance of vicious, misogynistic, and alienated peoples. For students, the question is whether these stances still exist.
The last removal was done under the Indian Removal Act. The missionary society, who had spent their time and money, taught Indians to live with their white neighbors and accepted the Christian Conservative Assembly to oppose the act. He finally passed, but the only voice was September 1830. Czechoslovakia, Syria, Syria, and Semili signed the treaty, agreeing to leave the southeast house and move west. Their journey was marked by an outbreak of cholera, a scarce supply of colds, and death from starvation and fatigue. The Cherokee march was forced under the direction of the United States Army and known as "Tears," or in their words, "where they cried." The move is a tragedy as thousands are forced to leave their homes, pets, culture and places of spiritual significance to them.
