tragedy of the Cherokee nation has haunted the legacy of Andrew Jackson"'"s Presidency. The events that transpired after the implementation of his Indian policy are indeed heinous and continually pose questions of morality for all generations. Ancient Native American tribes were forced from their ancestral homes in an effort to increase the aggressive expansion of white settlers during the early years of the United States. The most notable removal came after the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The Cherokee
In James C. Cobb 's book Georgia Odyssey, the identity of freedom has had a constantly changing face from the settlement of Georgia to the present day. During these turbulent times, Georgians had many obstacles to overcome throughout history. They strived to achieve equality, and their own face and voice in their communities. These changes began during the 1800s when slavery was at its peak and continued to move through time when it eventually climaxed in the late 1900s when racism was at the melting
River in the 1830's was more a reformulation of the national policy that had been in effect since the 1790's than a change in that policy." The dictum above is firm and can be easily proved by examining the administration of Jackson and comparison to the traditional course which was carried out for about 40 years. After 1825 the federal government attempted to remove all eastern Indians to the Great Plains area of the Far West. The Cherokee Indians of northwestern Georgia, to protect themselves
Georgia prior to the twentieth century was stuck in a Russian hegemony along with its neighboring countries South Ossetia and Abkhazia. In 1918 Georgia was able to establish themselves as an independent state but that ended shortly after only three years when they were invaded by the Red Army. As of 1921 Georgia was incorporated as one of founding members of the USSR.

to give up huge portions of their land. During Washington's, Monroe's, and Jefferson's administration, more and more Indian land was being commandeered by the colonists. The Washington administration signed the Treaty of Holston and other supplements between the time periods of 1791 until 1798 that made the Native Americans give up more of their homeland land. The administrations during the 1790's to the 1830's had gradually acquired more and more land from the Cherokee Indians
The Double Jeopardy clause is found in The United States Constitution under the Fifth Amendment which say "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal
research have shown the state of Georgia does allocate fund to public institution to foster and encourage more students to enroll and graduate from college. However, I don’t think Georgia is doing enough to contribute toward education. According to NCHEMS Information Center, public High School graduation rate in 2009 was 59.3 just a little above average. Going Rates of High School Graduates directly from High School to college – 2010 was 67.7% which was not as bad compare to other state. Research also shows
over to the farmers and settlers who wanted to move further south, the southerners would have no one to fight with but amongst themselves. On paper this seems very logical and one of the United States best options. Yet, when enacted in reality there are many problems in the plan. For one, the United States government should not have the power to remove the Cherokees from lands they have been on for centuries, long before they even knew North America existed. Also, if Jackson and the rest of his government
