President Andrew Jackson (1 767-1845) believed that the only Way to end the fighting between Whites and Native Americans Was to “remove” all Indians from lands east of the Mississippi. To this end, he helped pass the Indian Removal Act of 1830. This law evicted major Indian tribes from 1and east of the Mississippi and sent them to“Indian Territory,” in the West.To the Indians, who were reluctant to move, he said, “Young chiefs, forget the prejudices [attachment] you feel for the soil of your birth.”
Do you think the United States government had the right to tell Native Americans to move? Explain why or why not. With do you think of President Jackson's suggestion that Native Americans ignore their attachment to their homeland? How do you think you would have felt upon receiving such a request? What do you think you would have done?

ReplyDeletei don't think it was right because it was the Indians home land
I agree with you.
DeleteNo, They have no right to remove people from where they were born and raised
ReplyDeleteit was not right of the states to relocate a whole group of people to only benefit the states. its like the Indians were cattle and that states were herding them.
ReplyDeleteWonderfully stated and supported however there were more questions to answer.
Deleteoh sorry ill do those next time but how come the home work isnt up
Deletejane 812:
ReplyDeletei dont think the government have the rights to tell Native american to leave because it is their homeland.It not fair for the native american to leave why dont the whites leave .i would feel mad and i think i will kill the government.
Nice response Amriddin though there were many more questions to answer than the one you chose to answer.
ReplyDeleteJamal ... Why not?
ReplyDeleteNicely stated Jane though we need more information to support your ideas.
ReplyDeleteRemember to respond to one another
ReplyDeleteI think its terrible thats the "white" are trying to remove the native americans. Its there home land they have no right to invade other people's land and take over it. I would reject the request and if they try to fight, then i fight. I either died free, or died trying to be free.
ReplyDeleteI dont think that It was fair for the US to force Native Americans out of their homeland
ReplyDeleteWhy not? Explain

DeleteI think the United States government did not have the right to tell Native Americans to move because the Native American's ancestors had lived on this land for years. Only making them devastated when learning that they were forced out of their land.
ReplyDeleteVery well done Rachel
DeleteI think the US goverment did not have the right to tell Native Americans to move because they were there first there family lived there and they wanted to continue the tradition
ReplyDeleteYes,I agree
DeleteI agree too.
Deletei think the us was wrong in moving the native americans because they have lived there with no problem. Also they do not believe that the land is theirs so the americans could have lived with them in harmony.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin, I agree with your answer. I believe the us did not have the right because that is very unfair and they had no right to do that. The native american were living peacefully before the white men (americans) kicked them out.
DeleteI think the United States government did not have the right to tell Native Americans to move because the Native Americans were the first ones to live there.I think it is unfair that President Jackson told Native Americans to forget abut their homeland.If I was given this request,I will feel so angry.I will do anything to stay at my homeland.
ReplyDeleteI AGREE WITH YOU JIAN.
DeleteI also agree with it REALLY unfair to the Native American.
DeleteI think the united states government doesn't have the right to tell the Native Americans to move from their hometown. If I am the Native Americans I will oppose this idea and start a war with the U.S for our rights and freedom to live peacefully. I think the Native Americans would not affect the U.S government if they share the same land. I think president Jackson should treat Native Americans the same way as how he treat his own kind.
ReplyDeleteExplain why or why not. With do you think of President Jackson's suggestion that Native Americans ignore their attachment to their homeland? How do you think you would have felt upon receiving such a request? What do you think you would have done? Why should the Native Amercans ignore there attachment to there homeland. It would of felt really really bad, it would of felt terrible. What if it happend to you. I would have ignored them.

Deletei dont think the government has the right to tell the native americans to move from their homeland because they probably lived in that land for a very long time. They like how it is (everythings peaceful) and making them move all of a sudden. they might have felt really fustrated. i would try to stop or even declare war just to protect my homeland from being taken
ReplyDeleteI think the U.S. government doesn't have the rights to tell the American Indian to move from where they are now. They have been live there for so long and now they have to been removed, it's not fair to them.
ReplyDeleteYa it's unfair they have the right to live in their native home and lands
Deletethe US had no right to take over the Native American land. First of all, the Native Americans had been living there for a long time and had jobs and families there. The united states should have given the native Americans money for their land asked permission. President Andrew Jackson was a unfair guy. Even though he was the president he had no right to invade
ReplyDeleteother territories before asking. he probably said Young chiefs, forget the prejudices [attachment] you feel for the soil of your birth" this because they can leave without complaining. If i was an native american i would fight for my rights. i would also encourage my companions to let the Americans leave us alone.
I am agree with you i also think they don't have any right to tell them to move.. it's unfair
DeleteI agree with you
DeleteI agree with you maryam and aditi that the US goverment did not have the right to take their land. It's NATIVE AMERICANS home land and it's belong to the NATIVE AMERICAN.

ReplyDeleteI think the US government didn't have right to tell Native American to move because this place is their homeland, it's not fair for President Jackson to tell them to move. If I'm a Native American I will be reluctant to move.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that US government did not have the right to take their land
DeleteMy opinion is that United state do not have the right to move Native American,because they have the right to live in United state.Its their home,they were born here,its their land.They have all the right to live in United state.
ReplyDeletei agree, because they lived their for a long time and had ancestors before them.
Deletei think it was wrong for the president to remove the native american. the ones who really had to be remove were the white settlers . and if i was a native american i would not move i would stay in my homeland
ReplyDeletemy opinion is that i don't want the United States to tell Native American to move is because it 's there home and they are the first one to live there.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, I don't think it was right for President Jackson to just "remove" Native Americans from their homeland without considering their attachment. It's really rude. I personally would've been angry and upset at such a request. I would try to protest and speak up for my family.
ReplyDeletei dont thinnk the us had the right to tell the natives to move because the natives were in the us for thousands of years. if i was one of the natives i would not have moved because its my home and i was born here
ReplyDeleteid say not to move because nagetive americans came before so insted they should of lieved togather or they left but that didnt happen so it was a verry bad thing to do
ReplyDeleteyou spell some word wrong
DeleteIt is not right to tell the native american to leave their homeland. The "whites" did not have the right to kick them out of their homeland. They did not ask the native if the want to leave or not. Also worked with tony zou
ReplyDeleteThe government had no right to kick the Native Americans to the west
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion i think the government had no right in telling the native Americans to move out cause the native Americans don't tell the government what to do so why do they
ReplyDeletei belive that the u.s. dont have the power
ReplyDeleteit was not fair to the indians.
ReplyDeleteI think United State did not have right to tell Native American to move because they live there for a long time ,it not fair to them .President Jackson 's suggestion is not care about their feeling .If someone said that to me I will be very upset .I will fight with them to protect my right .
ReplyDeleteI am agree with you. It's Native Americans right to live in their native home.
DeleteI think it was unfair that the U.S kicked Native Americans. I mean it was their land in the first place before settlers started coming and starting colonies. U.S should be lucky that at least they shared there land. But there is no right to kick them out. If the U.S kicks them out where are they going to go?
ReplyDelete1.I think United States government did not have had the right to tell Native Americans to move, because these place is Native Americans homeland.
ReplyDelete2.I think that is good, because they will forget the prejudices.
3.If I upon receiving such a request, I will feel angry., because there is my homeland. Why I need to move to other place?And I am not leave my homeland, even other people prejudices.
In my point of view United States Government did not have the right to tell Native Americans to move in another place. I am disagree because, it was their own land and own house which they get and build by doing many hard works. This is not the right justice to tell/force them to move from their own place.President Andrew Jackson's decision was unfair for Native Americans. I think president Jackson forced Native American to forget the prejudice (attachment) for their land and houses. But he didn't care about how much it will be hard for Native Americans. If I was a Native American in this situation I would break down but after thinking of my future I would fight back for the right justice even it's was 99.99% chance of death
ReplyDeleteI agree with u aditi.
Deletei agree with aditi because anyone who is being forced to leave their
Deletehouse is not fair. i would also fight even if i was not strong as others.
1.I don't think the United States government should let the native American people leave their homes Everyone needs a home a home of their own.
ReplyDelete2.Jackson didn't consider the feelings of the Indians people. Not to decide the matter from the Angle of the Indians people.
3.If I receive the request I'll desperate to protect our own home.
I agree with you but in this case the word "request" is not correct President Jackson didn't request the Native american to move he order and tell them to move
DeleteI think government didn't have the right to tell Native Americans to move,because Native Americans came to the land first,and when Americans began to living in the land,Native Americans did not reject,and if now government told them to move,it just show how government are been greedy and take advantage from the Native Americans.It is unfair that Jackson told Native American to ignored the feeling toward the place where they grow up.If I receiving such a request,I will feel angry and start a war.
ReplyDeleteI agree with U :)
DeleteI have the same point of view
DeleteGenerally, nobody have no right to kick out anybody from certain place that can benefit for themselves, especially in this case, the United States government absolutely had no right to relocate Native Americans who lived along the east side of Mississippi River to the west side of the river for their own good because they knew the land better than anybody else such as those "invaders"( You know what I mean) They knew where to find resources ( wood,water,etc) and food that could support their livelihood. They also knew when the season will changed. In addition, it's their homeland where posterity of Native Americans had been raised up, which build up a strong emotional connection to the land. I think President Andrew Jackson's suggestion that Native Americans should ignore their attachment to their homeland is unacceptable because he didn't place his position into their shoes to see how he would feel if he's one of Native Americans who was been forced out from the land. He didn't realize how many difficulties did Native Americans and the diligence efforts behind the what-it-look-like nowadays. He only cared about how could he benefited them but not the effect of this race " prejudice attachment". If I'm one of Native Americans who encounter the same situation as them, I would give speeches in the North and let them hear how miserable experiences we have been went through. Let them offer us the weapons that can help us fight for our natural right while they can also protest against the government and urging the government to stop the action.
ReplyDeleteI think the United States government Doesn't have the right to tell Native Americans to move because Native Americans are the founder of the lands and nobody ever had the right to right to do so. I disagree with President Jackson's suggestion that Native Americans ignore their attachment to their homeland that mean to move to the west and forget about their old home and live in the new one, it is not fair to take a advantage to a friendly people like that. If I have upon receiving such a request I will be so angry that I will be declaring enemy with the country. If that really happened I will gather all the Native Americans as I can and prepare for war!
ReplyDeleteYes!!! Finally, this is the 6th time I tryed >:(
DeleteI think the United State government don't have the right to tell Native Americans to leave because they are the first settler in this area and they have the right to decide if they want to leave or not. Also they are humans not like things you want to move where ever you want.
ReplyDeleteI think of president Jackson's suggestion that Native Americans ignore their homeland is ＂Young chiefs,forget the prejudices [attachment］you feel for the soil of your birth."
ReplyDeleteI would feel unfair about this request and I will reject this request that why should move to give you more space.
ReplyDeleteI think the US government didn't have the right to tell Native Americans To move from their home land because they were the first Family that lived there for many years before the US government came
ReplyDeletethat is right because that the government have no right to tell them to move out of their homeland and they live there for many yaers.
Delete1.United States government have no rights to tell Native Americans to move, because Native Americans have rights choose weather to stay or not.
ReplyDelete2.President Jackson's suggestion was wrong, because lots of Native Americans don't want to leave to other place, but president Jackson is trying to make them follow his mind to do what he want.
3.I would be angry to recive the request, because they didn't ask for my opinion, and make me leave where I was living.
for numder 1 I think the same way to because he can not ask any one to move because he is the government or the president
Delete1.The united states government have no rights to tell the Native Americans to move out of their land because that the Native Americans have the rights to pick weather they want to leave or stay in their hometown.
ReplyDelete2.I think that presient jackson's have extremely no right or he is wrong because that most of the Native Americans want to stay in their homeland the reason is that they want to stay in the place they are born also presient jackson might be selfish.
3.I will felt like that president jackson is selfish becaues that he do not think about what the Native Americans felt at all.If it was me I would have go against president jackson the reason is that I will not want to move away from my homeland.
1.I think the United States government do not have the right to tell Native Americans to move because it is their home land which is the place they were born.
ReplyDelete2. I disagree with President Jackson's suggestion that Native Americans ignore their attachment to their homeland because it is the place their ancestor live.
3.i feel angry upon receiving such a request and i will kill the president.
i agree to you ,because the government dont had the right to tell the native american to move
DeleteThe president was unfair to the Native Americans because they have no right over them .They keep forcing them to move west and the Indians was first to be there even before the iking explore the West. I will felt so angry about how the president treats the Indians .I WILL go against him and tell other why it is unfair
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because, it's unfair to tell native american where to live
DeleteNo, I don't think the United States government had the right to tell the Indians to move because it's their homeland. What I think of President Jackson's suggestion that the Native Americans ignore their attachment to their homeland is, I agree and disagree with him. I agree with President Jackson's actions because it would resolve the conflict between the Americans and the Native Americans. But at the same time I disagree with President Jackson's actions because you cannot force people out of their territory. I would have felt offended upon receiving such a request, because, who are you to tell me that I have to moved from my native land. What I think I would have done was to go in their territory with my people and blow up their buildings and houses and divert their weapons away from them to create even more tensions to let President Jackson know what's coming to him and that they have crossed the line.
