Summary of paragraphs 9&10

(9)During his time as President, Jackson faced three major issues: the status of the Native Americans, states rights and the role of the bank in the U.S. Jackson supported the policy of moving the Native Americans to land west of the Mississippi River. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 allowed the federal government to remove Native Americans if they were given compensation. This was in response to the desire of settlers for more land. Jackson wanted Native Americans removed to lands west of the Mississippi River because many called that land the Great American Desert. The Cherokees in Georgia sued for the right to remain on their land and the Supreme Court ruled in the favor of the Cherokees. Jackson refused to enforce the ruling, even though it was his responsibility as President to enforce the laws. The Cherokees lost their land and were moved to Indian Territory.
(10)His Indian Removal Act of 1830 forced the relocation of Native Americans from Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi to open these lands for white settlement. More than 100,000 Indians moved over a ten-year period. During the winter of 1838-39 the Cherokees were forced to march in very harsh conditions from their homeland to Indian Territory in a journey known as the "Trail of Tears." One-fourth of the 16,000 Cherokees died on this journey. Most of the 125,000 Native Americans east of the Mississippi River (Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi) were forced to cede their ancestral lands to the U.S. The Native Americans were moved to Indian Territory in Oklahoma and Kansas. There were some attempts to resist but none were successful.
