I.
I’ve decided to concentrate my historical event study on the Cherokee Trail of Tears. Andrew Jackson’s Indian Removal Act in 1830 required the Cherokee Nation to abandon
its territory east of the waters of the Mississippi and relocate to what is now Oklahoma. The forced relocations resulted in the loss of cultural and ancestral ties to the land, disrupting traditional ways of life and causing significant trauma that still impacts these communities today.
II. The first secondary source that I want to utilize for my study is New, B., & McLoughlin, W. G. (1995, March). After the Trail of Tears: The Cherokees’ Struggle for Sovereignty, 1839–1880. The Journal of American History is the subject of much evaluation. This source information provides me with the viewpoint that the Cherokee people are being forced to abandon their homelands and migrate hundreds of miles away.
A scholarly assessment of Adam Pratt’s book “Toward Cherokee Removal: Land, Violence, and the White Man’s Chance” will be my next secondary source. III. This source presents a similar viewpoint as an added source, but it varies in its interpretation of the event; it is not just from the perspective of Cherokee. I am convinced
this source is going to generate fresh ideas and raise various other issues concerning the Trail of Tears that will need further investigation. Utilizing many sources, I’d like to learn in greater detail about the passage Indian Removal Act, particularly the North’s resistance to the idea. What impact did the Immagration Act have on Immagration and integration throughout the nation’s today?
