Best -- always,
Mr. B

P.S. -- I just literally said to Ms. Stacey -- " I cannot believe that the U.S. government forcibly resettled other human beings, and that it was done by legislative action..." Oh wait... actually... I definitely can... Just for some historical perspective here... Nat Turner's Rebellion was in 1831... so many things.....

P.P.S. -- Hope you all enjoyed your w/e!

  1. 1. What reasons do the Cherokee give for rejecting the idea of moving beyond the Mississippi River?

    The reasons the Cherokee give for rejecting the idea of moving beyond the Missisipi River is that the territory they're being asked to move to is unknown to them. Also, the Indians already living in those territories would view them as intruders. Also, that territory is badly supplioed with wood and water, and their neighbors speak a different language and have a different culture from them. Lastly, it is not the land of their births.

    2. How do the Cherokee understand their "national and individual rights?"

    The Cherokees understand the treties they have and the laws of the United States as something that guarantees their residence, their privileges, and protect them from intruders.

  2. The administration of Andrew Jackson wanted the Cherokee to be relocated to Oklahoma. For many reasons, the Cherokee were opposed to this idea. Moving into a land that was unfamiliar wouldn’t work. Adding to that if they moved the other Indian tribes would see them as intruders. There was also not a large supply on water or wood. The original inhabitants were savages and the Cherokee would be victims.

    The only reason the Cherokee decided to move was because their "social and human rights" were respected. They knew they’d face "intolerable racism" if they stayed.

  3. The reasons the Cherokee gave for rejecting the idea of moving beyond the Mississippi River were the new land was one they were unfamiliar with and they didn’t want to seem like intruders to the other tribes that are there.

    The Cherokee understood their “national and individual rights” were respected so they agreed to the move.

  4. 1.) the administration of Andrew Jackson wanted to relocated to Oklahoma. The Cherokee was opposed to this idea and moving to different land wouldn’t work because they would noticed as intruders . With that was also not enough water or wood to keep them there.

    The only reason why they decided to move was because of their social and human rights were respected. They knew they would face racism.

  5. 1. What reasons do the Cherokee give for rejecting the idea of moving beyond the Mississippi River?

    Cherokee's reasons were that moving beyond were going to, metaphorically and literally, be fatal for them. The lands that were close by were not theirs but neighboring tribes and the Cherokee did not want to seem intrusive.

    2. How do the Cherokee understand their "national and individual rights?"

    They understood their rights by saying that this land is their birthright and only theirs to claim, so they should not have to leave from their homes because foreigners(now Americans obviously) told them to do so.

  6. 1. What reasons do the Cherokee give for rejecting the idea of moving beyond the Mississippi River?

    The reasons the Cherokee give for rejecting the idea of moving beyond the Missisipi River is that he reasoned that the new region was an unknown country and that it could possibly be dangerous.. Also because the people there already speak a different language and they would have to adapt to their language and the traditions that have been set in place before they arrive.

    2. How do the Cherokee understand their "national and individual rights?"

    The Cherokees understand the treties they knew if they stayed, they would face “intolerable oppression”. They also faced prison time. The Cherokee had just agreed to move to not face harsh consequences

  7. 1. The reasons for the Cherokee give for not wanting to move is because it would be fatal to their interest. This is there land and they don’t want to go to prison or move to somewhere new that is unfamiliar.
    2. The Cherokee understand their “national and individual rights” by it is what was promised in the treaties with the federal government and that they want to “remain on the land of [their] fathers”.

  8. The Cherokee believes the land they are being sent to is unfamiliar and it would be harder to adapt and they feel they will come in conflict with the natives already because there is a culture barrier they also believe that the US government is going against the treaty they had

    They understand their national rights because they use the treaty as a reason they should not be moved. They believe that the only way they’ll leave is if they feel their rights are being violated

  9. 1. The reasons the Cherokee give for rejecting the idea of moving beyond the Mississippi River were because they were already used and familiar to their land. Including that they did not want to look like intruders to other tribes.
    2. They understood their rights by stating that the land were their fathers land so therefore it was their land to claim and that they weren’t going to leave for white foreigners.

  10. The reasons the Cherokee gave for rejecting moving beyond the Mississippi River was that they were unfamiliar with this new land and did not want to settle on someone’s territory.

    Even though they understood they would face racism they decided to move because their social and human rights would be respected

  11. The Indians had a variety of reasons as to why they did not want to move. The first reason was simply it was a foreign land to them. They were us to their way of life and a forced migration would chase several problems. There would a a cultural clash with other natives that had different perspectives and languages and that could end up with the Indians being viewed as intruders. Additional since it was a land unknown to them it would be hard to survive seeing as their was a lack of resources.

    Their were simple people so they had a simple understanding of the topic and that was they would receive human rights and be treated with some of the same rights as Americans.
