What is Indian removal and how does it affect American society after 1815? Which tribes are involved and what happens to them? Did some Americans oppose removal? Explain.
The Indian Removal Act was the price of "Progress". It disrupted thousands of Native Americans and result in a migration called the "Trail of Tears". The Indian Removal Act was part of an American government document known as Indian removal, which in fact was signed into law by President Andrew Jackson on May 26, 1830. The affect it had on American society was that it created a racial situation between the Native Americans where they were treated as second class citizens or worse. These were some of the tribes that were involved Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole. In the face of all the cruel treatment these five tribes not only tolerated but they survived. Although I do believe that a few of the men from the Cherokee did resist removal.

For some the idea of Indian removal conjures op views of a sprawling prairie and the U.S Army leading a line of bewildered Indians to a reservation. While this did indeed take place the act of removing natives from their land was not a new idea. When Europeans first came to the new world they lived with the natives and needed them to survive in their new environment. But as time went on there were more and more whites coming from Europe and soon they need more land to sustain their growing population. Some tribes sold parts of their land others lost in in bloody conflicts with settlers or even the U.S government.
But ultimately the Indian Removal Act was upheld was passed and while removal was actually voluntary in theory, great pressure was put on Native American leaders to sign removal treaties. The removal act ultimately led to reluctant migration of tens of thousands of Native Americans west an event widely known as the Trail of Tears[1]. Some tribes like the Seminoles and other smaller tribes did not leave peacefully, leading to the Second Seminole War which lasted from 1835-1842[3]. There were many issues with the Indian Removal Act and many of them are still readily apparent today. Had the whites and Native Americans been able to work together to share the land we would have avoided many battles in the years that followed but we would have also avoided the issues that we have today with many Natives who believe the issues of the past are still affecting them to this day and I cant help but agree with them.

Please review the previous assignments and information about plagiarism, both intentional and inadvertent. In addition, review the UMUC Library guidelines about the validity of online sources and what makes them acceptable for university-level research.
Numerous instances of problems regarding proper citations, improper sources, unattributed quotations, and complete cutting-and pasting of text into the posts and replies, and in the assignments. I work hard to find such instances and will act when I find them. Please note, all future issues that possibly involve plagiarism, intentional or not, will be sent forward to the administration for review and decision.
I send this out to provide information for everyone as help and guidance. I appreciate everyone's good faith efforts to complete the discussions and assignments on their own, with legitimate sourcing of the information they seek and think about.
Avoid Wikipedia, Answers.com, Yahoo.Answers, howstuffworks, or any other similar source that is not academic or scholarly in nature. Answers to questions in the discussions should be based on your analysis, not some other person about whom nothing is known. In addition, pulling information partially or completely from online paper and essay mills could be very damaging to one's future presence in the university.
If one uses another person's words, or their ideas, proper attribution is required. Information that is commonly known (e.g., Columbus sailed to the New World In 1492) does not need to be cited. But, if one cuts and pastes from an author, a website, or any source, proper quotations marks and citations are required. Paraphrasing of the information is perfectly acceptable, but the wording used must be substantially different than the original wording in the source. Plus, it must be cited properly as well because the ideas behind what is being used comes from others.
Unique information, or specialized facts and data, or interpretations must all be cited properly.
It can be a tricky business where even professional historians get into trouble if they get lazy, or inattentive, or rely on assistants for research. For example, historians Doris Kearns Goodwin and the late Stephen Ambrose, both have been burned with unattributed quotes or information scandals. Popular commentators such as Fareed Zakaria, law professors such as Laurence Tribe, and even Vice President Joe Biden have been caught in plagiarism scandals.
The internet is a wonderful source of information but one must be wary. Choose your sources wisely and give them credit for the work they have done. Then build upon it using your own skills.

But as time went on there were more and more whites coming from Europe and soon they need more land to sustain their growing population. Some tribes sold parts of their land others lost in in bloody conflicts with settlers or even the U.S government.
It wasn't until the early 1800's that natives began to be forcefully removed from their land. On May 28,1830 during the presidency of Andrew Jackson congress passed the Indian Removal Act authorizing the president to negotiate with Indian tribes in the southern United States for their removal to federal territory west of the Missippi River in exchange for their homelands.The act was strongly supported by people in the south who wanted to take advantage of the newly freed up land[1]. But some Americans opposed it men like Jeremiah Evarts a christian missionary who believed natives could be integrated into society with proper education and training. Some senators and congressmen were also opposed, New Jersey Senator Frelinhuysen and Congressman David Crockett of Tennessee also opposed the bill.
But ultimately the Indian Removal Act was upheld was passed and while removal was actually voluntary in theory, great pressure was put on Native American leaders to sign removal treaties. The removal act ultimately led to reluctant migration of tens of thousands of Native Americans west an event widely known as the Trail of Tears[1].
