The Cherokee Are People Too
In the book The Cherokee Removal, the author argued that most of the Americans did not want the Cherokee nation to be considered equal and wanted them removed. The American people tormented the Cherokees and tried to break their spirits. The Americans thought that if the Cherokee people could be dispossessed, that they would have agreed to the removal (Purdue, 84). The Americans disrespected them and made laws that harassed them. White people moved onto their land that they inhabited and started mining their gold, stealing their live stock, and evicting them from their homes. The United States government sent troops in to evict the Cherokees out of their homes with little warning. They could only take what they could
