Native Americans and

I can evaluate the relationship of the U.S. and Native American nations. I can predict the long-term effect of the Treaty of Ghent on Native Americans. I can compare and contrast the relationship of Andrew Jackson and the Cherokee during the Creek War and during the Indian Removal Act.

Britain and France were at war, and both were sinking U.S. ships and kidnapping people. Pres. James Madison declared war on Britain. –Wanted to gain land in Canada. –Mad that Britain provided weapons to Native Americans for self-defense. Most Native Americans fought against U.S. –Cherokee fought on our side. Andrew Jackson was a commander. –Gains popularity that leads to his presidency.

Holy Toledo, Batman!

Simultaneously… Andrew Jackson led a militia, with help of Cherokee and others, to defeat the Creek tribe. U.S. won and gained land.

United States agreed to leave Canada alone. –A boundary was set to separate the British and American claims. Britain agreed to end its alliance with the Native Americans. This marks the end of “co-existence” with Native Americans. The U.S. was officially dominant.

 I can predict the long-term effect of the Treaty of Ghent on Native Americans.  I can compare and contrast the relationship of Andrew Jackson and the Cherokee during the Creek War and during the Indian Removal Act. (save for later!) I can evaluate the relationship of the U.S. and Native American nations.
