hmmm... what about the Bozeman Trail and Sioux... I don't know how much that applies but its worth a shot... and the reservations that the tribes were put them on kept shrinking, until finally the some other act forced them to become farmers.... sorry I don't remember the name at the moment...
i don't know how much that helps you...
The Surpeme Court had ruled that the Indians should stay where they were, but Jackson ignored that ruling and forced them to leave. Enter Stage: Trail of Tears.
Also, talk about the Seminoles refusing to leave and then running into the Everglades and the very very costly, 8 year war that against the army. The US caught Osceola, but some of the Seminoles remained in the Everglades while others were taken to reservations out west.
The book is very very very good for stuff like that...at least mine is. Try reading over that again.
Hope this helped....
The Cherokees tried to claim status as an independent republic within Georgia, but Chief Justice John Marshall denied their claim in Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831) but instead said that they were a "domestic dependent nation"
Then in 1832 Marshall clarified in Worcester v. Georgia that the Cherokees were a "distinct" political comunity entitled to federal protection from tampering by Georgia.
What did Jackson think about this? To quote him: "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it." ...aka "I don't really care what you say, I want the Indians out."
Thanks for all your help!!! :)
