Yes because Jane Roe ended up changing her viewpoint later in life. She was against
abortions a few years after the fight to have abortions, which shocked me because she fought
so hard for women to have the right over their bodies.

Module 7 Short Responses – Question 8
Agree or disagree with the following thesis statement: "The Treaty of New Echota was
invalid, and the National Party was correct to oppose it." Cite at least three historical
facts that support your position.
I agree with this statement. My three historical facts
John Ross promptly denounced the treaty and the Cherokee National Council declared it a
fraud, but the U.S. Senate ratified it in 1836 by a single vote. ( MindEdge)
A majority of Cherokee people considered the Treaty of New Echota fraudulent, and in
February 1836 the Cherokee National Council voted to reject it. (Zotigh, 2019)
John Ross tried to overturn the treaty for two years but failed. In May 1838, U.S. troops
herded more than 16,000 Cherokees into holding camps to await removal to present-day
Oklahoma. Indians who tried to flee were shot, while those who waited in the camps suffered
from malnutrition, dysentery and even sexual assault by the troops guarding them. (Hicks,
2011)
