I have chosen the Trail of Tears. I wanted to learn about the events that
Native Americans and why Cherokee chiefs accepted the provisions of the Indian Removal Act. I wanted to research and gain insight into the connections between Chief Little John and President Andrew Jackson. Chief Little John and the Native Americans would receive because of willingly ceding their territory and crossing hazardous terrain, as informed by President Jackson and the US government, where hundreds of native Americans died.
Revised Thesis:
Many people are aware of the Indian Removal Act, which precipitated one of the bloodiest episodes in American history. We can see how the federal government mistreated Native Americans during this period. Cherokee Tribe of Georgia's Native American lands were the site of gold discoveries. To gain access to the land the state of Georgia and the U.S. government both planned to drive Native Americans off their ancestral lands.
We should also observe how Native Americans' rights were progressively curtailed by the US government until they vanished entirely. My revised thesis is do Native Americans still feel the impact of the Trail of Tears.
