"We Shall Remain"

       
     In April of 2009, PBS aired the Documentary "We Shall Remain" about the history of Native Americans.  While Ms. Fusaro was here, you watched some of the documentary leading up to the Indian Removal Act.  To help you gain a deeper understanding of the Indian Removal Act and the Trail of Tears I am posting a link to the documentary.  You do not have to watch the entire segment, but the more you watch the more it will help you for Monday's Assessment.

    On Monday, we will finish the Indian Removal Act Debate and hear our final closing arguments.  When the Debate is finished, you will be given a series of questions on the Indian Removal Act as well as the arguments that each of the groups used.  In addition, I am going to be asking you to identify some of the key historical figures from the Jackson Era.

    You can use your notes and class handouts, if you do not finish in class you are able to finish this at home.


Here are some practice questions:



1. What was discovered on Cherokee land in Georgia?


2. Who were the 5 Civilized Tribes?


3. What was the Treaty of New Echota?


4. Which of the following U.S. leaders was against Indian Removal?

     A. John Quincy Adams                                               B. Andrew Jackson

      C. Lewis Cass                                                             D. Daniel Webster
