Jackson And Native Americans

By: Paiton Broussard, Mark Patterson, Libby Rumbelow

Indian Removal Act

of 1830 When President took office in 1828 one of his first

decisions he made was the remove the Indians. The Indian Removal Act made the tribes move west of the Mississippi.

“Under this Act the Cherokees, Creeks, Chotaws, Chickasaws, and Seminoies would have to trade their land for new land west of the Mississippi, but only if the federal government would supply them with money, rifels and provisions.” –Social Studies Teks

President Jackson

President Jackson thought that the native American tribes might join forces with other country’s, this would make the Americans feel more vulnerable.

Jackson believed that moving the Indians West of the Mississippi River (Indian Removal Act)was a way to make sure to keep our beliefs and traditions separate from each other.

Cherokee Nation v. Georgia

The Cherokee refused Jacksons Proposal and took their case to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Cherokee said they were an independent nation, and that they were protected by treaty. The Cherokee Nation won the case, but ended up making a treaty with Jackson stating that they had two years to move to Oklahoma.

Andrew Jackson Before PresidencyDuring the War of 1812, the newly cherished Andrew Jackson, and his force of Tennesseans and allied Indians from the area, attacked the main force of the Creek Indians at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. Earlier the Creek Indians had declared war on the US in what is now Alabama. In one attack of the Creek Indians on Fort Mims they killed a little over 250 people, including un-armed American civilians. Andrew and his forces won the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, but more Native Americans are thought to have been killed on that day than any other day in American history.

Andrew Jackson and the Treaty of Washington“Directed by the government to negotiate a peace treaty with the Creeks, Jackson demanded the Indians, including his own allies, cede 22 million acres of their land-roughly half of their national domain -to the United States. Under protest, thirty-five Creek chiefs signed the Treaty of Fort Jackson and agreed to the terms required by the man they now called "Sharp Knife." – PBS Andrew Jackson The Good, Bad, and Presidency

The Tariff of Abomination

By. Garret and Ryan

The Writer The Writer of the tariff of Abominations was

purposely wrote it to make Andrew Jackson appear to be a free trade advocate in the south. People in the mid-Atlantic states that were manufacturers argued that strengthening the nations industrial capacity was in the best interest of the country. Also people in the south felt that the tariff was unconstitutional because it favored one side of the economy over another.

The reason of the Tariff was to protect the northern industries because of low priced imported goods and so they placed the Protective Tariff. It’s formal name the Tariff of 1828 later became known as the Tariff of Abominations.

The Reason

The Lead Spokesmen Against The Tariff

The lead spoken men against the tariff was John C. Calhoun the Vice President. In secret he published an essay pronouncing the Tariff unconstitutional. Calhoun believed that each state had the right to nullify and unconstitutional law in their own territory. To nullify it means cancel. Although the Tariff helped the north in their industries it almost destroyed the south manufacturing.
