The Supremacy Clause-Study questions


1.Thomas Jefferson promised to not take anything from the Indians but Andrew Jackson took over the supreme court and allowed the Georgians to take everything from the Indians.

2.The Cherokee tribe became acculturated to European culture by adopting to the U.S. government, becoming Christians, and sending their children to boarding schools. They also dressed like the whites, and learned to speak their language.

3.By 1932 Native Americans lost 90 million acres of their land which was 2/3 of the land that was reserved through laws. The Dawes Act caused much of the loss because Native Americans did not move to the allotments and the allotments were leased to non-Indians which are whites, causing all the loss of land.

4.Chief Joseph was the head Chief of the tribe, he was upset in 1855 because the gold was discovered. He fought with federal troops. He was superior Military Tactics. Captain Jack was asked to leave their home land and Captain Jack fought against everyone for his land.

5.The Supremacy Clause is that they wanted their land. The white people wouldn't want to give them nothing. Andrew Jackson took away the land and resources oil and crops.

6.I think that well actually know that I would refuse to leave because I know my rights and I know theirs laws that protect those rights, which are my rights.
