INDIANS
"The Five Civilized Tribes": the Cherokee, the Creek, the Seminole, the Chickasaw and the Choctaw. They were trouble for the government in the 1830s because they were the remaining Indian tribes in the South, who possesed lands sourthernes wantes for their growing cotton empire.
Indian Removal Act (1830): authorized the financing of federal negotiations to relocate the Southern tribes to the West of the Mississipi River or the "Indian Territory".
LEAD TO WESTWARD EXPANSION since they ended up removing all the indians from their native land, and moved the to the "Indian territory" to the west of the Mississippi river.
-
Seminole Wars: Some of the indians refused to move, and stayed to protect their lands. They were removed with violence because of their resistance.
Trail of Tears: when the tribes moved to the "Indian Territory", they had a traumatic way there, where most died because of the tough conditions, and others cried but survived which is why it is remembered as the trail where they cried or the trail of tears.
POLITICS AFTER JACKSON
When Jackson vacated office in March 1837, he left his mark on the presidency and forever changed the course of American history.
Through his actions and tenure as president, Jackson squarely set the Executive Branch on an equal footing with Congress in terms of power and ability to shape law and government policies.
Jackson preserved and defended the Union against threats from nullifiers and secessionists. Nations across the globe viewed the United States with newfound respect due to Jackson’s management of foreign affairs. Most importantly, however, Jackson’s presidency pushed the nation further toward democracy, but much work remained in granting equal rights and freedoms to those still oppressed in the United States.
It was a revolutionary political party, because the democracy we have now days was started by this man and improved over the years.
