Jackson's Native-American Policy

Indian Removal 1830  Indian Removal Act; moved Native Americans off their land to prevent conflict with white settlers. Worcester v. GA; Supreme Court ruled that Georgia was not entitled to move the Cherokee(1832) Jackson reply: “John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it!”

Indian Removal

Trail of Tears (1838-1839)

As the population grew, the colonists pushed farther west into the territories occupied by the American Indians.

Inevitably, this movement led to clashes over land.

By the time Andrew Jackson became President in 1829, the native population east of the Mississippi River had dwindled to 125,000.

In contrast, the non-Indians population had risen to 13 million.

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?

How do you think the Supreme Court decided? 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?

The Supreme Court and Chief Justice John Marshall ruled the Cherokee could keep their lands because of earlier federal treaties.

Furthermore, the court ruled the treaty was an agreement between two nations and couldn’t be overruled by Georgia.

What do you think President Jackson and the Georgia did next?

Georgia ignored the court’s ruling 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.

In 1838, the Georgia militia was ordered to force the Cherokee out of Georgia.

17,000 Cherokees were brutally rounded up and marched to Indian territory in Oklahoma.

As many as 4,000 died along the “Trail of Tears”.
