The Indain Removel Act.

In 1830 President Andrew Jacksn just a year after taking office, pushed a new piece of legislation through both houses called the Indain Removel Act. This act gave the President power to break indain treaties, with tribes east of the Mississippi. The removel was suppose to be voluntary and peaceful. But the southeasten nations resisted, and Jackson force them out. I call attention to the Indain Removel Act Because the Creek, Cherokee, Chicasaw, Semionoles. and Choctaw at one time tried to act like Whites, by owning large sections of land, and owning Slaves. They tried to Assimilate. This only made Whites jealous and resenful. In the end Indains were forced off of there land, and made to move west and take there Black Slaves with them. I bring all of this up because Indain and Black history is interwind. From the very begnning Black Slaves, and Indains fought togeather, live togeather,and married each other. History shows that indains own Slave up too and until the end of the Civil War.
