The Indian Removal Act was… • A period of forcible removal first started with the Cherokee Indians in the state of Georgia. In 1802, the Georgia Legislature signed a compact giving the federal government’s all of her claims to western lands in exchange for the government’s pledge to extinguish all Indian titles to land within the state. • The Cherokee Indian tribes had a substantial part of land in Georgia that they had for many generations though. They were worried about losing their land so they forced the issue by adopting a written constitution. This document proclaimed that the Cherokee nation had complete jurisdiction over its own territory. • He suggested that laws be past so that the Indians would have to move west of the Mississippi River.
The Trail of Tears II • Within 10 years of the Indian Removal Act, more than 70,000 Indians had moved across the Mississippi. Many Indians died on this journey. • The term “Trails of Tears” was given to the period of ten years in which over 70,000 Indians had to give up their homes and move to certain areas assigned to tribes in Oklahoma. • The tribes were given a right to all of Oklahoma except the Panhandle. • Unfortunately, the land that they were given only lasted till about 1906 and they were forced to move to other reservations.
