Native American Groups
Response to Removal
Choctaw from Mississippi (p333)
Did not really resist. Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek – signed by their leaders, agreement that the Choctaw would move to Indian Territory. Gave up 7.5 million acres of their land. Were forced to move under rough conditions. Many died. Tragic experience inspired other tribes to resist.
Creek of Alabama
Tried to resist, but were captured and led to the Indian Territory in chains.
Chickasaw of Mississippi
They negotiated a treaty for better supplies for the journey to the Indian Territory but a lot of them died.
Cherokee from AL, TN, NC, GA
Adopted white culture to avoid conflict, but were forced of land because of gold. They sue the state of Georgia and the Supreme Court says that GA has no right to force them out or deal with them because they have nation status. But President Jackson didn’t stop GA from removing the Cherokees.
Fox and Sauk of Illinois
Led by Black Hawk, they resisted removal with force, but they ran out of food and supplies and were forced to leave.
Seminoles of Florida
Resisted with force – Second Seminole War. Leader Osceola was captured and died, but they eventually won because U.S. gave up the fight and there are Seminoles still living in Florida.
