assignment 8.

1. what is the Indian Removal Act?
The Indian Removal act was at 28 may 1830 in progress by President Andrew Jackson. The law provided in a special designated area for Indians in the current Oklahoma. This law hold in to make negotiations with a lot of indians in this area to make their own country improved.

2. do you think treaties between Native Americans and the American government were profitable for both sides? 
I think it is good for both of them because the American government can make negotiations with them and the Native Americans can improved because of that in their own country.

3. Explain the title "Trail of tears".
Trail of Tears was a series of forced removals of Native American nations from their ancestral homelands in the Southeastern United States to an area west of the Mississippi River that had been designated as Native Territory. The forced relocations were carried out by various government authorities following the passage of the Indian removal act in 1830. The relocated people suffered from exposure, disease, and starvation while en route, and more than four thousand died before reaching their various destinations. The removal included members of the Cherokee, Muskogee, Seminude, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations. the phrase ''trail of tears'' originated from a description of the removal of the Cherokee nation in 1838.

4. Find a map and pictures which show where the Indians originally lived and where they were moved to as a result of treaties.

  1. Indian Removal Act was actually a law that allowed Indians to be forcibly removed from their homelands to be moved thousands of miles away to areas which were then designated as reservations - often terrible places to live.
