🌼Indian Problem🌼 (Jacksonian Period)
Cherokee Nation vs Georgia
. They decided to resist threw the Court untill
1831
🌹
Georgia wanted to make them leave without signing a treaty + said that they have no right to sue in justice.
But
According to chief justice John Marshall, Chero were a " domestic dependent nation ward" --> Indian's are inferior and need Gov's help.
1832
During a second case, the court decided to let them remain on their lands 🌿 🌱
= Worcester vs Georgia case
But
Jackson defied the Chief of justice "Marshall made his decision, now let him enforce it”. What he meant is that the supreme court had no means of enforcing the decision without the senate or the president. 😒
Winter 1838 -
Trail of Tears
Due to white harassment and expelled by the US army. Many Indians died ☠☠
Choctaw tribe
: 1st affected.
✅ They accepted the terms of the removal but with
conditions
1 year of help : 💰🍖
Plus guarentee they would never be moved again
😡😡 Promised not held by the white...a lot of Indians died during the trip
Creeks:
2nd to leave. They didn't wanted to leave but they were banned. Alot died during the migration. Without financial help
Seminoles
: last one to leave. Decided to physically resist.
They resided in the state of Florida 🌴
1835
Guerilla untill
1842
(7 years).
Finally, the seminoles leaders were arrested ☠
94 treaties were signed for 60 tribes
Manifest Destiny
: John O' Sullivan
Movement of procuration to the West can't be stopped ( je crois ?🙄)
Create a new society, that other nation could imitate (They were Puritans and thought they were chosen by God-->Superior to Indians --> mid 1800)
They use the Bible to explain their expansion (The Genesis)
According to Puritans, Indians didn't really own the land because they didn't really exploit it.
This was use in Mexico too. For the Whigs, the war with Mexico wasn’t a war of self-defence. They were also waves of immigrants city overcrowded they lives in slums so the Gov encourages them to go to the West. One last reason for territorial expansion: California was a god place to established trades with Asia (Pacific Ocean).
