The Causes and Consequences of Indian Removal

https://americainclass.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/WEB-Indian-Removal-Presentation.pdf

In 1835 the federal government succeeded in obtaining a treaty with unauthorized representatives of the Cherokee Nation, which Congress ratified on May 23, 1836.
The New Echota Treaty allowed the Cherokees two years to remove voluntarily.
While Principal Chief John Ross led numerous delegations to Washington to protest the treaty,
the majority of Cherokees refused to emigrate.
They waited and watched as the federal government established military posts,
mustered state militia into federal service, and restrained the governments and citizens of the states from starting an Indian war.

Indian Removal Act
Law signed on May 28, 1830 by President Andrew Jackson
The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was signed into law on May 28, 1830, by United States President Andrew Jackson.
The law, as described by Congress, provided
"for an exchange of lands with the Indians residing in any of the states or territories, and for their removal west of the river Mississippi".

The Standard American History Myth treats American Indians as if they were an obstacle in the way of westward expansion and our inevitable march of progress.

But nothing about what the United States did to the Native Americans was inevitable.

THE WALAM OLUM

https://ia600808.us.archive.org/2/items/WALEMOLUM/WALEM%20OLUM.pdf

The Virginia Company of London was a joint-stock company chartered by King James I in 1606 to establish a colony in North America.

Such a venture allowed the Crown to reap the benefits of colonization—natural resources, new markets for English goods, leverage against the Spanish—without bearing the costs. Investors, meanwhile, were protected from catastrophic losses in the event of the project’s failure.

The company established a settlement at Jamestown in 1607, and over the next eighteen years,
the Crown granted the company two new charters, democratizing its governance and reforming its financial model.
What began as an enterprise of investors seeking a dividend was funded a decade later almost exclusively by a public lottery.

By 1618 the company had found a way to use its most abundant resource—land
—to tempt settlers to pay their own passage from England to the colony and then, after arrival, to pay the company a quitrent, or fee,
to use the land. Still, the Virginia Company and the colony it oversaw struggled to survive. Disease, mismanagement, Indian attacks, and factionalism in London all took a toll until, in 1623,
the Privy Council launched an investigation into the company’s finances. A year later,
the company’s charter was revoked and the king assumed direct control of Virginia.

A Brief History of Tobacco in the Americas

When England began to colonize North America in the late 16th century CE, Sir Walter Raleigh (l. c. 1552-1618 CE) introduced the older, rougher, strain of tobacco – N. rustica – to Britain. By this time (c. 1585 CE), tobacco had already become a popular, recreational drug in the country, but N. rustica was a much harsher smoke than the Spanish N. tabacum.

The English colony of Jamestown was established in 1607 CE and a hybrid of various strains of N. tabacum was brought and planted by the merchant John Rolfe (l. 1585-1622 CE) in 1610 CE. Rolfe's crop not only made him wealthy but saved the Jamestown Colony of Virginia and further popularized tobacco use in England, throughout Europe, and in the rest of the world.
Tobacco plantations expanded throughout Virginia as Jamestown itself began to grow,
taking more land from the Native Americans of the region, and this practice finally resulted in the Anglo-Powhatan Wars (1610-1646 CE) which drove out most of the original inhabitants and made more room for even larger plantations.

The French and Indian Wars were a series of conflicts that occurred in North America between 1688 and 1763, some of which indirectly were related to the European dynastic wars. The title French and Indian War in the singular is used in the United States specifically for the warfare of 1754–63, which composed the North American theatre of the Seven Years' War and the aftermath of which led to the American Revolution. The French and Indian Wars were preceded by the Beaver Wars.

From Thomas Jefferson to Hendrick Aupaumut, 21 December 1808

https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Jefferson/99-01-02-9358

Andrew Jackson is often credited with initiating Indian Removal, because Congress passed the Indian Removal Act in 1831,
during his presidency, and also because of his personal involvement in the forceful removal of many Eastern Indian tribes.
Congress was implementing suggestions laid out by Jefferson in a series of private letters that began in 1804,
although Jefferson did not implement the plan during his own presidency.

The rise of Napoleon in Europe, and rumor of a possible transfer of the Louisiana Territory from the Spanish empire to the more aggressive French, was cause for consternation amongst some people in the American republic.
Jefferson advocated for the militarization of the Western border, along the Mississippi River.
He felt that the best way to accomplish this was to flood the area with a large population of white settlements.

Currently, the U.S. recognizes tribal nations as "domestic dependent nations" and uses its own legal system to define the relationship between the federal, state, and tribal governments.
The U.S. recognizes 574 tribal nations, 229 of which are in Alaska. The National Congress of American Indians explains,
"Native peoples and governments have inherent rights and a political relationship with the U.S. government that does not derive from race or ethnicity."

United States Government Fur Trade Factory System
Government Agency

The United States Government Fur Trade Factory System was a system of government non-profit trading with Native Americans that existed between 1795 and 1822.
The factory system was set up on the initiative of George Washington who thought it would neutralize the influence of British traders doing business on United States territory
During the early 1800s, the US government adopted policies aimed at acculturating and assimilating Native people into European American society. Agents at the St. Peters Agency encouraged Dakota people to give up hunting as a primary method of subsistence, educate their children according to European American standards, give up their traditional religion to become practicing Christians, and adopt European American agricultural methods.
The agents also encouraged a change in traditional Dakota gender roles; traditionally,
Dakota women and children had worked the fields and gardens, and the agents wanted men to give up hunting and take over this work.

The US Indian Agency (1820-1853)

Indian agencies were created as part of the US government's efforts to control trade between the US and Native American nations. In 1806 the federal office of the Superintendent of Indian Trade was created to monitor and control economic activity between Native people and the US government.
In March 1824 Secretary of War John C. Calhoun created the Bureau of Indian Affairs to replace the Indian Trade Office,
officially placing responsibility for working with Native communities under the control of the US War Department.
In addition to controlling trade, the bureau was responsible for settling disputes between Native Americans and European Americans,
as well as for appropriating funds from Congress to fund efforts by the Indian agents to acculturate Natives into European American society.

Thomas Jefferson and Native Americans

Before and during his presidency, Jefferson discussed the need for respect, brotherhood, and trade with the Native Americans, and he initially believed that forcing them to adopt European-style agriculture and modes of living would allow them to quickly "progress" from "savagery" to "civilization".[2] Beginning in 1803, Jefferson's private letters show increasing support for the idea of removal,
and he suggested various ideas for removing tribes from enclaves in the East to their own new lands in lands west of the Mississippi River.

The Founders and the Vote
At first, white men with property were the only Americans routinely permitted to vote.
President Andrew Jackson, champion of frontiersmen, helped advance the political rights of those who did not own property.
By about 1860, most white men without property were enfranchised. But African Americans, women, Native Americans, non-English speakers, and citizens between the ages of 18 and 21 had to fight for the right to vote in this country.

WE ALL CAME FROM NOAH!!

ALL THE PEOPLES OF THE WORLD ARE FROM THE SAME FAMILY ONLY DIVIDED BY THE SEA!!!

Genesis 10:5

Of these were the isles of the GENTILES divided in their lands, every man after his tongue and after their families in their nations....

The Judeans so call ALL countries which are SEPARATED from them by SEA, as Greece, Italy, etc., which were given to the CHILDREN of JAPHETH, of whom came the GENTILES...

Genesis 10

10 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.

2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.

4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.

8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.

10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.

13 And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,

14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.

15 And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth,

16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,

17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,

18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.

19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.

20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.

21 Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.

22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.

24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.

25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.

26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,

27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,

29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.

30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.

31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.

32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.

Genesis
11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.

4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
