TRAIL OF TEARS TRAIL OF TEARS IS WHERE THE INDIANS HAD A TREATY WITH

PARIS, BUT CONGRESS THE INDIAN REMOVAL ACT SO THE INDIANS FILED A LAW SUIT AGAINST AMERICA AND THEY WON THEIR CASE IN THE SUPREME COURT, BUT ANDREW JACKSON REMOVED THEM ANYWAYS WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI BECAUSE THE LAND THE INDIANS DID HAVE WAS RICH IN SOIL.

TREATMENT OF CHEROKEE INDIANS Although Adams backed down and negotiated another treaty

ceding the disputed land to the state, the incident highlighted the plight of the remaining southern tribes, particularly the Cherokee. Perhaps no issue more clearly distinguished the two presidential candidates in 1828, . In his first annual message of December 1829, Jackson proposed that an area west of the Mississippi River be set apart and guaranteed to the Indian tribes, but in the end they took the indian land anyway.

DISCRIMINATION OF JACKSONHe didn’t let indians, women

or black people vote. If people came from other countrys and were white they were treated better then all the indians, blacks and women in America.

INDIAN REMOVAL ACTThe Indian Removal Act was signed into law by Andrew Jackson on May 28, 1830, authorizing the president to grant unsettled lands west of the Mississippi in exchange for Indian lands within existing state borders. A few tribes went peacefully, but many resisted the relocation policy. During the fall and winter of 1838 and 1839, the Cherokees were forcibly moved west by the United States government. Approximately 4,000 Cherokees died on this forced march, which became known as the "Trail of Tears."

CONCLUSION

Andrew jackson was a great man when he was young, but later on he started to be looked upon did to his unforgettable behavior.
