Native American Removal
Causes
-
Native Americans did not have a chance defeating Americans in war, and appeasement and resistance did not work

-
Cherokee Nation vs. Georgia ruled that the Cherokees were not a foreign nation with the right to sue the federal court
Native tribes agreed to treaties in order to appease the government with the hope of retaining some of their land, and wanted to protect themselves from white harrassment
Effects
forced resettlement of Natives west of the Mississippi, creation of The Bureau of Indian Affairs followed shortly after to assist with resettling
supreme court cases ensued: Supreme Court case Cherokee Nation v. Georgia that ruled that Cherokees were not a foreign nation with the right to sue but Georgia court ruled that the laws of the state had no force in Cherokee nation and Jackson supported the state decision
Trail of Tears: U.S. Army forces 15,000 Cherokees to leave Georgia, 4.000 die
