1. In the middle
You are at a point of life where you have a choice to make. You have to choose to act like an adult or a kid. Which would you choose to act more like? Give me five reasons why you feel like it is better to act that way rather than the other.

2. Pulling it together We will see how the rest of SS8H5 comes together
Let our brains pop
Finish our Native American Tribe activity
Preview the impact of this weekend

3. The Cherokee Nation
After all of the development of the Cherokee People, it still wasn’t enough
Americans wanted the land that the Cherokee people had
Whether by treaties or by force the Native populations were being pushed west
The final straw came when something very valuable was found

4. Gold Rush Dahlonega 1828 Gold has always been a valuable resource
Benjamin Parks apparently went deer hunting and tripped on a gold nugget
North Georgia was already Cherokee land but not for long
Soon thousands of Whites settled the land without permission
They wanted the Cherokee people out!!

5. Worchester vs. Georgia
A missionary named Samuel Worchester lived among the Cherokee people
He was arrested and sent prison for doing so
Cherokees hired lawyers on his behalf and ultimately the case went to the supreme court
The supreme court (Chief John Marshall) said this was horrible and said it was unconstitutional to treat people this way
Eventually Worchester was released by Governor Wilson Lumpkin

6. Andrew Jackson
Started off fighting military battles against the Creeks like the battle of Horseshoe bend during Red stick war
Later became President but held his negative opinion of the Native people and made sure as much land was taken from them as possible
Major impact was that he signed the Indian Removal Act of 1830

7. John Marshall and Trail of Tears
Chief John Marshall and many others supported the independence of the Cherokee Nation
Ultimately Jackson and many like him led to Indian removal act of 1830 and then the treaty of New Echota in 1835 which moved all Cherokee out of the southeast
Thus the trail of tears began in 1838 where nearly 5000 Native populations died on the way to Oklahoma
