Indian Removal

Before the DST: two strategies in response to American expansion nativists vs. accommodationists neither approach could guarantee a place in American society

shift in American policy from civilization to removal New kind of treaty: exchange of land rather than cession of land division within Native American nations: Opponents of removal Those who saw relocation as inevitable

Acculturation By 1815 many NA in the southeast were raising cattle and pigs and planting crops. Most as individual families Some had African slaves A planter elite of mixed ancestry developed. Christian missionaries operated schools.

The signs of ‘civilization’ Farming: corn, cotton, and livestock Infrastructure: roads, bridges, ferries Government: National Council, written laws, police force, law courts Change in values: Private property Paternal authority
