The Cherokee War could've had a different result, with minor flaws. The Cherokee war prevention was possible, however, many flaws created different results, whether benefiting the Cherokees or white settlers. According to The Effect of the Seven year’s war on the Cherokee Nation by Tyler Boulwar states, “Region is particularly emphasized since, for much of the colonial period, the Lower, Middle, Valley, Out, and Overhill Cherokees encountered varying geopolitical circumstances, situated as they were on the different frontiers of Cherokee country, and accordingly safeguarded their own interests by pursuing diplomatic, military, and economic agendas that could often be at variance.”This shows how their geopolitical circumstances were different …show more content…
Counter Argument Conclusion Build up to the war’s result due to the decision making? The Cherokee War could've had a different result if everything was constructed differently by their decision making. According to A Demand of Blood: The Cherokee War of 1776 by Nadia Dean “The Cherokee leaders then traveled 500 miles to Williamsburg, Va., to meet Governor Patrick Henry. They agreed to restrain their young warriors and vowed to give up more land, which those warriors had so earnestly fought to defend”.This shows how the Cherokee could’ve continued fighting however gave up their land if they kept at a bit longer than it would have drastically changed the war.

According to the Cherokee-American War from the Cherokee Perspective by Jordan Baker “At this time the Cherokee Nation was not a unified state, but rather a complex web of villages and clans who each had their own leaders. As the towns in Watauga became an issue, the most important people within the nation convened on how to deal with the threat”.This shows how important the Cherokee nation's decision-making ultimately decided how they would end up in the War. Counter argument Conclusion According to the Cherokee-American War from the Cherokee Perspective by Jordan Baker “In each of these offensives, Cherokee forces went after Anglo-American forts that dotted their eastern border. Several of these pushes seem to have been all-out attacks, intended to overtake the forts and kill or push out white inhabitants. In others, Cherokee forces attempted to besiege the forts, probably hoping to starve out the American garrisons”. This shows how even if they attempted to overtake forts they only succeeded in the starving and killing part but not taking forts in contrast hurting Dragging Canoe their military
In 1845, Ebenezer Carter Tracy published a book titled, Memoir of the Life of Jeremiah Evarts. Within this book is a statement from the Cherokee people from 1830 called, “Appeal of the Cherokee Nation.” In this statement, The Cherokee Indians refuse to move west of the Mississippi River. They made this refusal for two main reasons. The Indians believed that they had a right to remain in the lands of their ancestors and they also insisted that their chances of survival would be very low if they moved west. Their survivability would be impacted by their lack of knowledge of the new lands, and by the Indians that were already living in the western lands, and who would view the Cherokee as enemies.
In the essay, “The Trail of Tears” by author Dee Brown explains that the Cherokees isn’t Native Americans that evaporate effectively from their tribal land, but the enormous measure of sympathy supported on their side that was abnormal. The Cherokees process towards culture also the treachery of both states and incorporated governments of the declaration and promises that contrived to the Cherokee nation. Dee Brown wraps up that the Cherokees had lost Kentucky and Tennessee, but a man who once consider their buddy named Andrew Jackson had begged the Cherokees to move to Mississippi but the bad part is the Indians and white settlers never get along together even if the government wanted to take care of them from harassment it shall be incapable to do that. The Cherokee families moved to the West, but the tribes were together and denied to give up more land but Jackson was running for President if the Georgians elects him as President he agreed that he should give his own support to open up the Cherokee lands for establishment.
The generalization that, “The decision of the Jackson administration to remove the Cherokee Indians to lands west of the Mississippi River in the 1830s was more a reformulation of the national policy that had been in effect since the 1790s than a change in that policy,” is valid. Ever since the American people arrived at the New World they have continually driven the Native Americans out of their native lands. Many people wanted to contribute to this removal of the Cherokees and their society. Knox proposed a “civilization” of the Indians. President Monroe continued Knox’s plan by developing ways to rid of the Indians, claiming it would be beneficial to all. Andrew Jackson ultimately fulfilled the plan. First of all, the map [Document A] indicates the relationship between time, land, and policies, which affected the Indians. The Indian Tribes have been forced to give up their land as early as the 1720s. Between the years of 1721 and 1785, the Colonial and Confederation treaties forced the Indians to give up huge portions of their land. During Washington's, Monroe's, and Jefferson's administration, more and more Indian land was being commandeered by the colonists. The Washington administration signed the Treaty of Holston and other supplements between the time periods of 1791 until 1798 that made the Native Americans give up more of their homeland land. The administrations during the 1790's to the 1830's had gradually acquired more and more land from the Cherokee Indians. Jackson followed that precedent by the acquisition of more Cherokee lands. In later years, those speaking on behalf of the United States government believed that teaching the Indians how to live a more civilized life would only benefit them. Rather than only thinking of benefiting the Indians, we were also trying to benefit ourselves. We were looking to acquire the Indians’ land. In a letter to George Washington, Knox says we should first is to destroy the Indians with an army, and the second is to make peace with them. The Indian Trade and Intercourse Act of 1793 began to put Knox’s plan into effect. The federal government’s promise of supplying the Indians with animals, agricultural tool...
The Chickasaw people made of decently well compared to some of the other Native American tribes that were moved to the West. They had foresight into what was going to take place and they were able to negotiate the sale of their land off for decent sums of money and they actually could afford to pay for the removal to areas west of the Mississippi. Even with saying that many Chickasaw Natives died on the perilous exodus that was their Trail of Tears. The Chickasaw quickly ran into troubles and death as their journey progressed as even having sums of money cannot protect you from the hardships of the land and travel. They did however control when they departed for the areas in the West though due to their possession of money. They chose
Democracy can be traced back before the coming of Christ. Throughout Greece during the sixth century democracy was in its earliest stages and as the millenniums would pass the power of government by the people would show distinct alterations. This is evident when analyzing The Cherokee Nation and the Trail of Tears by Theda Perdue and Michael D. Green. These authors illustrate how the U.S government adjusts policies from that of assimilating the Native American Indians to that of removing them from their homelands and forcibly causing the Cherokee nation to relocate themselves west of the Mississippi. In further depth Perdue and Green portray though vivid description how the government would show disloyalty and how that caused division between the tribal members of the Cherokee people. This endeavor of travel and animosity of the Indians would become known as the Trail of Tears.
In The Cherokee Removal, Perdue and Green show the trials that the Cherokee faced in the years from 1700 to 1840. This book shows how the Americans tried to remove these Indians from the southeastern part of the United States. The Cherokees tried to overcome the attempts of removal, but finally in 1838, they were removed from the area.
First, the Cherokees don’t want to move to their new territory. According to Joan Marshall in the article “Allow the Cherokee To Stay” that, they were treated horrible, and they didn’t get the treaties said when they moved. The Cherokees decided to ring their problems to the U.S. Supreme Court which is just fair. The U.S. Supreme Court didn’t really favor on the Cherokees but
The thesis statement "In preparing for the Cherokee Removal, state, and federal officials were motivated solely by desire to seize the Natives' land." First off, who is preparing for the removal? Was it the white settlers or was it entailing the natives themselves? The thesis statement is not complex enough and fails to mention the Trail of Tears or the preparations that were taken to remove the Cherokee's. In this way, the full historical picture is avoided making the thesis difficult to under why and how the natives were affected.
The Cherokee Indians, the most cooperative and accommodating to the political institutions of the united states, suffered the worst fate of all Native Americans when voluntarily or forcibly moved west. In 1827 the Cherokees attempted to claim themselves as an independent nation within the state of Georgia. When the legislature of the state extended jurisdiction over this ‘nation,’ the Cherokees sought legal actions, not subject to Georgia laws and petitioned the United States Supreme Court. The case became known as Cherokee Nation vs. Georgia in 1831. Supreme Court Justice John Marshall denied their claim as a republic within Georgia, he then deemed the Cherokee as a ‘domestic dependent nation’. One year later through the case of Worcester vs. Georgia, the Cherokee’s were granted federal protection from the molestation by the state of Georgia. Through the Indian Removal act in 1830 President Andrew Jackson appropriated planning and funding for the removal of Native Americans, Marshall’s rulings delayed this for the Cherokee Nation, and infuriated President Jackson. Marshall’s decision had little effect on Jackson and ignoring this action the president was anxious to see him enforce it.
The leaders’ inability to act for the overall well being of their tribe cost the Cherokee supplies, land, and most importantly lives. In a huge sense, it was John Ross being jokingly overambitious during his negotiations with the President that caused a lot of their pain and suffering. He also was the main voice behind trying to resist the government even after the two years was over, not to mention the whole two years they had to leave.
There has always been a big debate on whether the Cherokee Indians should have or should not have been removed from the land they resided on. Although the common consensus of the whites was for removal, and for the Cherokees it was against removal, there were some individuals on each side that disagreed with their groups’ decision. The Cherokee Indians should have been removed from their homeland because the Cherokees would not have been able to survive on their own with the way they were living, they would not have been able to exist amidst a white population, and if they were removed, the whites would have helped them create a new and prosperous civilization.
The tragedy of the Cherokee nation has haunted the legacy of Andrew Jackson"'"s Presidency. The events that transpired after the implementation of his Indian policy are indeed heinous and continually pose questions of morality for all generations. Ancient Native American tribes were forced from their ancestral homes in an effort to increase the aggressive expansion of white settlers during the early years of the United States. The most notable removal came after the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The Cherokee, whose journey was known as the '"'Trail of Tears'"', and the four other civilized tribes, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole, were forced to emigrate to lands west of the Mississippi River, to what is now day Oklahoma, against their will. During the journey westward, over 60,000 Indians were forced from their homelands. Approximately 4000 Cherokee Indians perished during the journey due to famine, disease, and negligence. The Cherokees to traveled a vast distance under force during the arduous winter of 1838-1839.# This is one of the saddest events in American history, yet we must not forget this tragedy.
As white settlers poured across the mountains, the Cherokee tried once again to compensate themselves with territory taken by war with a neighboring tribe. This time their intended victim was the Chickasaw, but this was a mistake. Anyone who tried to take something from the Chickasaw regretted it, if he survived. After eleven years of sporadic warfare ended with a major defeat at Chickasaw Oldfields (1769), the Cherokee gave up and began to explore the possibility of new alliances to resist the whites. Both the Cherokee and Creek attended the 1770 and 1771 meetings with the Ohio tribes at Sciota but did not participate in Lord Dunnmore's War (1773-74) because the disputed territory was not theirs.
The quote continues on to explain all of the adjustments and concessions that the Cherokee had made in order to appease the American government, including becoming agriculturalists, worshiping a Christian god, and developing literacy compatible to Americans. However, all of these efforts were not enough for the Americans to let them remain in their homeland in peace. After conferring with only a small number of Cherokee people, the United States managed to get a treaty signed to move the tribe west (Calloway, Ch 5, 272). As showcased on Map 5.3, the Cherokees were forced out of their land in northern Georgia and other surrounding states (Calloway, Ch 5, 273). They were brutally marched through parts of Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, and Missouri until finally, they arrived in Oklahoma.
