class of common people and elected Andrew Jackson
president.
6What We Already Know
- One way that the cotton gin changed the South was
that native Americans were forced from their land
to make room for more cotton plantations.
7What We Already Know
- The Supreme Court ruling in Marbury v. Madison
gave the courts the power of judicial review,
meaning that courts can declare a law or
executive action unconstitutional.
8In the 1820s, most whites had strong feelings
about the Native Americans still living east of
the Mississippi River.
- Some whites hoped that the Native Americans could
adapt to the white peoples way of life. - Others did not want to live near the
uncivilized Native Americans and felt Indians
should move in order to avoid conflict over land.
9Check for Understanding
- A ask B What were the two attitudes most white
Americans held toward Native Americans? - They either wanted them to learn to live like
whites or they wanted them to be removed from
contact with whites.

10In the 1820s, large areas of land in Georgia, the
Carolinas, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee
were owned by Indians.
- The major tribes included the Cherokee,

often called the Five Civilized Tribes.

14Andrew Jackson had a long history of conflict
with Native Americans.
- He chased Seminole raiders after the War of 1812.
- Acting as Indian treaty commissioner, Jackson had
made treaties with Indians in the Southeast. - These treaties were forced on the tribes, and the
government gained large tracts of land.
15The cotton boom in Georgia changed life for the
Cherokees
- As the cotton boom spread across the South, more
settlers moved westward looking for farmland. - The demand for new land for cotton cultivation
led many settlers to desire Cherokee lands in
Georgia and Tennessee.
16The discovery of gold on their land in Georgia
changed life for the Cherokees.
- Now miners joined settlers in wanting Cherokee
lands, and demands to move the Cherokees
increased. - Georgia passed laws that gave them the right to
take over Native American lands. - When the Cherokee and other tribes protested,
Jackson supported Georgia.
17Jackson had a solution to the conflict in Georgia.
- Jackson asked Congress to pass a law that would
require Native Americans to either move west or
submit to state laws.
18Jacksons solution to the conflict in Georgia was
the Indian Removal Act.
- Although many Americans objected to the proposal,
in 1830 Congress passed the act, which required
Native Americans to relocate west of the
Mississippi.
19Check for Understanding
A ask B For what two reasons did Georgia pass
new laws that took land away from the
Cherokee? The cotton boom and the discovery of
gold on Cherokee land caused Georgia to pass laws
that took away their land.

21Jacksons actions reflected his view of Native
Americans.
- Jackson saw Indians as conquered subjects who
lived within the boundaries of the United States,
and had to obey U.S. laws.
22He thought that Native Americans should adopt
white culture and become citizens of the United
States.
- They could not have their own governments within
the nations borders. - They could move west into the Indian Territory.
23The Indian Territory was an area that covered
what is now Oklahoma and parts of Kansas and
Nebraska, where Native Americans were to relocate.

the U.S. government was unconstitutional.
26The Cherokees tried to fight the Indian Removal
Act.
- The Cherokees appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court
to protect their land from being seized by
Georgia.
27Chief Justice John Marshall ruled that the
Cherokee Nation did not have to relocate.
Both Georgia and President Jackson ignored the
Supreme Court.
28Native Americans were forced to journey along the
Trail of Tears.
- In 1838, federal troops rounded up
16,000 Cherokees and, over the fall and winter
of 1838-1839, forced them to set
out on the long journey west.
29One-fourth died from exposure, disease, or
starvation on this harsh journey to Indian
Territory.
