Indian Removal (Zinn Chapter 7)

When the Indians Emigrate (Zinn Chapter 7) If Caucasans decide they want to be indigenous Native Americans (Indians), the US government will do its utmost to help white people acquire Indian land. The United States government did everything and changed the blind government to demands so that Indians give up their land (see the Indian returning law in 1828). With the help of his prejudice against the Indians, General Jackson laid off the Indian in the war of 1812, fought against the great Tecm and conquered him.

For Americans, the answer to this question is to get rid of Indians from there. In 1820, 120 thousand Indians lived in the east of the Mississippi River. By 1844, less than 30,000 Indians living in this land (People's History, Howardjin, Chapter 7). For the purchase of Louisiana, Americans want to keep pushing Indians into Indian territory, and are now considered Oklahoma. At the same time, the country is changing to a new, more industrialized society based on cash rather than social status (Luna, Enrique, class notes 4-29-03). Unfortunately, this new market economy is very unstable. Because of every boom in the economy, the economy has almost the same depression. During the boom cycle there was not enough workers so employers had to raise their wages or import workers from other places such as Ireland.

In the 1930s, Choctaw and Chicasso were forcibly eliminated by the US Army from the treaty approved by the Indian Exile Act. In today's Kansas and Oklahoma, they and their slaves were transferred to the territory of India. Hattiesburg developed at the intersection of the Reef River and the Booi River. It was founded in 1882 by civil engineer William H. Hardy. Hattiesburg City was founded in 1884 and has a population of about 400 people. Originally called Twin Forks, later called Gordonville, after the wife Hautei his wife, the city got the official name of Hattiesburg from the name of Captain Heart. Hattiesburg is located in the center of the city, within 100 miles from the capital city of Jackson, Mississippi Bay, Louisiana New Orleans, Alabama Mobile.
