Question

1. Describe the actions by the U.S. government during the removal process.

2. Describe the events that occurred at Ross’s landing and Bligh’s Ferry.

Answer 1

Cherokee attempts at resisting the removal by the United States included creating a formal Cherokee constitution, negotiating the Treat of 1819, and proceeding with legal action within the Supreme Court. These actions proved futile when Andrew Jackson was elected President and forcibly removed them for their land.
