28 mayo 1830 año - CCOT: (4.8): The Indian Removal Act.

Descripción:

The Indian Removal Act was a law passed in the United States in 1830. President Andrew Jackson signed it to make Native American tribes in the southeastern U.S. leave their homelands and move west, to an area that is now part of Oklahoma.

Continuities
Settler Expansion: Even before the Act, white settlers were moving onto Native American lands. This trend continued and increased after the Act, as the government supported settlers taking over lands in the Southeast.
Resistance by Native Tribes: Native tribes resisted losing their land both before and after the Act. The Cherokee, for example, tried to use the legal system to fight for their land rights. Other tribes continued to fight back, like the Seminole in Florida, who resisted removal through wars.

Changes
Forced Migration: The biggest change was the forced movement of thousands of Native Americans to what was called “Indian Territory.” This was a shift from letting Native tribes keep their lands to making them leave for a distant region.
Cultural and Population Loss: The journey, known as the Trail of Tears, led to the loss of many lives due to illness, starvation, and harsh conditions. This caused a decline in Native American populations and harmed their cultures as families and communities were broken up.
Loss of Ancestral Land: Native Americans lost land they had lived on for generations. The areas where they were relocated were often unfamiliar and hard to farm, changing their way of life.
