Native American Indian Resources
Between the 1820's-1830's, the U.S. was fast becoming a multicultural nation of many different people from many countries.
Policy makers was struggling to preserve the white racial homogeneity and cultural hegemony. James Madison said that the red(meaning race) on our borders is the most problematic to our
country's policy. Andruw Jackon saw nothing wrong about the Indian policy. Jackson's attitude against the Indians was a western(living in the western part of the U.S.) one. Jackson said that
the Indians were barbaric impediments to white social progress. In 1830, Congress passed the Indian Removal Act. After this act, 94 treaties removals were negotiated. In 1835, Jackson announced that
the policy had been carrie dout or the act was in process of completion for all but a couple of Indians. Northern Tribes(most)were way to weak to fight the offers of Indian commissioners who
use alcohol and bribery to woo the chiefs. Sometimes the tribes rebelled or there was little resistance. In the Illinois and Wisconsin Territory, an armed Indian clash that was known as the Black hawk
War sprang in the year of 1832. The Sauk and Fox was under the leadership of Chief Black Hawk sought to re-settle some of the lands his tribe had abandoned in the previous year. The Siuox went
west of the Mississippi, and they were just wanted a place to plant their corn crop. In the South, there were two proud Indian nations that were stubborn. They were the Seminoles and the Cherokees.
The Seminoles were different groups that settled in Florida in the 18th century.
The Cherokees went to the mountains of northern Georgia and western North Carolina in the end of the 18th century.
The Cherokees adopted a constitution that they were not subject to any other state or nation in 1827. After June 1, 1830, GA responded with a law that would stipulate a state law would extend the
Cherokees living within the boundaries of the state. John Marshall said that the Cherokees had a right to their own lands until they want
to cede from the U.S. A GA law that passed in 1830 said that whites should required a license in the Cherokee territory for their residence there and take an oath of allegiance to the state. The
Supreme Court case of Worcest v. Georgia(1832), and this case said that the Cherokee nation was a own policital community w/i GA law had no force. By 1838, 15,000 Cherokees departed on a
1,000-mile Trail of Tears westward. The Choctaws, Chickasaws, Creeks, and the Seminoles followed the Cherokees westward.
