The Legend of the Cherokee Rose
No better symbol of the pain and suffering of the Trail of Tears than the Cherokee Rose. The mothers of the Cherokee grieved so much that the chiefs prayed for a sign to lift the mother’s
spirits and give them strength to care for their children. From that day forward a beautiful new flower, a rose, grew wherever a
mother’s tear fell to the ground. The rose is white for the mother’s tears. It has a gold center, for the gold taken from the Cherokee lands, and seven leaves on each stem that represents the seven Cherokee clans that made the journey. To this day,
the Cherokee Rose prospers along the route of the Trail of Tears.

As the population grew, the colonists pushed
farther west into the
territories occupied by
the American Indians.
![Page 6: INDIAN REMOVAL IN THE UNITED STATES - Pre-AP Historymaneshistory.weebly.com › uploads › 3 › 1 › 3 › 4 › 31344929 › remova… · 2019-08-19 · The Indian Removal Act](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c8e796a347b1b935059f9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Inevitably, this movement led to clashes over land.
![Page 7: INDIAN REMOVAL IN THE UNITED STATES - Pre-AP Historymaneshistory.weebly.com › uploads › 3 › 1 › 3 › 4 › 31344929 › remova… · 2019-08-19 · The Indian Removal Act](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c8e796a347b1b935059f9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
By the time Andrew Jackson became President in 1829, the native population east of the
Mississippi River had dwindled to 125,000.
![Page 8: INDIAN REMOVAL IN THE UNITED STATES - Pre-AP Historymaneshistory.weebly.com › uploads › 3 › 1 › 3 › 4 › 31344929 › remova… · 2019-08-19 · The Indian Removal Act](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c8e796a347b1b935059f9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
In contrast, the non-Indians population had risen to 13 million.
![Page 9: INDIAN REMOVAL IN THE UNITED STATES - Pre-AP Historymaneshistory.weebly.com › uploads › 3 › 1 › 3 › 4 › 31344929 › remova… · 2019-08-19 · The Indian Removal Act](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c8e796a347b1b935059f9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Jackson saw Indian Removal as an opportunity to provide for the
needs of the white farmers and
businessmen. He also claimed that
removal was also in the best interest of the Indians.
Why?

Jackson to the Indians:
“Where you now are, you and my white children are too near to each other to live in harmony and peace. Your game is gone, and many of your people will not work and
till the earth. . . The land beyond the Mississippi belongs to the President and no one else, and he will give it to you forever.”

Throughout the late 1820s, legal conflict over ownership of Cherokee lands led the
issue to the halls of the U.S. Supreme Court.
How do you think the Supreme Court decided?
Why?
![Page 21: INDIAN REMOVAL IN THE UNITED STATES - Pre-AP Historymaneshistory.weebly.com › uploads › 3 › 1 › 3 › 4 › 31344929 › remova… · 2019-08-19 · The Indian Removal Act](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c8e796a347b1b935059f9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Supreme Court and Chief
Justice John Marshall ruled the Cherokee
could keep their lands because of
earlier federal treaties.
![Page 22: INDIAN REMOVAL IN THE UNITED STATES - Pre-AP Historymaneshistory.weebly.com › uploads › 3 › 1 › 3 › 4 › 31344929 › remova… · 2019-08-19 · The Indian Removal Act](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c8e796a347b1b935059f9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Furthermore, the court ruled the treaty was an agreement between two nations and couldn’t be overruled by Georgia.
![Page 23: INDIAN REMOVAL IN THE UNITED STATES - Pre-AP Historymaneshistory.weebly.com › uploads › 3 › 1 › 3 › 4 › 31344929 › remova… · 2019-08-19 · The Indian Removal Act](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042405/5f1c8e796a347b1b935059f9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What do you think President Jackson and
Georgia did next?

Georgia ignored the court’s ruling. President Jackson refused to enforce the ruling. He
remarked, “Well, John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it”.

As part of the Indian Removal Act
of 1830, federal agents misled
tribal leaders into signing removal
treaties with the government.

The Trail

This picture, The Trail of Tears, was painted by Robert Lindneux in
1942. It commemorates the suffering of the Cherokee people under forced removal. If any depictions of the "Trail of Tears" were created at the time of the march, they have
not survived.
