Compare And Contrast The French And Indian War

On may 28, 1830 the Indian Removal Act was passed by the congress and was signed by the current president at the time Andrew Jackson. The Indian Removal Act authorized the president to grant unsettled lands west of Mississippi in exchange for the Native Americans land. This forced Native American tribes to march their way west of Mississippi. Some tribes left in peace but most of the tribes resisted. In 1835 the agreement to, Treaty Of New Echota allowed Jackson to order Cherokee removal. Some Cherokee leaders signed the treaty and left but people under the leadership Chief John Ross resisted until they were forced to move to a new location 1838. Their forced journey to their new location was called the Trail Of Tears. Ever since, Native Americans have been living in reservation lands and the government has taken notice but don’t know if they should give them land or money. The government should be giving Native Americans land instead of money because the reservation lands are not

The French and Indian War was a conflict in North America in which Great Britain fought France and their Native American allies. It lasted from 1756 until 1763, so it was also known as the Seven Years War. At the peace conference in 1763, the British received Canada from France and Florida from Spain, but permitted France to keep its West Indian sugar islands and gave Louisiana to Spain. The treaty strengthened the American colonies significantly by removing their European rivals to the north and south and opening the Mississippi Valley to westward expansion.

The French and Indian war was fought between Great Britain and France from 1754 to 1763. Also known as the Seven Year’s War, this confrontation eventually erupted into an all out worldwide conflict. Its effects were not only immediate but long term. Although the colonies were not directly tied to the war, it greatly impacted them as well as modern America.

On May 28, 1830 Andrew Jackson, the president at the time, signed the Indian Removal Act making it a law. The law gave the U.S. government the right to exchange land west of the Mississippi for Indian Territory in the state borders. Some tribes relocated peacefully, but most resisted the relocation. The United States government forced Cherokee Indians to move and 4,000 of them died being relocated giving the forced movement the name “Trail of Tears.”

In 1492 native Americans discovered illegal immigrants invading their country. It has been a downhill fight for natives ever since. As more settlers arrived on the East Coast, an attitude became prevalent within the European communities that it was their right to expand cities across America in the name of progress and economic development. The manifest destiny was more of a feeling rather than a written statement which lasted from the War of 1812 to the beginning of the American Civil War. The idea of expansion grew, especially by those who wanted to capitalize on agriculture in the United States. Native Americans occupied land in Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Florida and Tennessee. These lands became more valuable to the white settlers as the production of cotton became more popular in the South. As the idea of a manifest destiny grew, so did the idea to remove Natives, which led up to the “Trail of Tears” through the Indian Removal Act of 1830, a final solution to the Indian problem. The United States government removed the five civilized Tribes, Cherokee, Muskogee, Seminole, Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations between 1830 and 1838. The Native Americans being relocated suffered from inhuman conditions such as disease and starvation while traveling to their final destination, a designated area west of the Mississippi River. The events leading to this final march into the Indian Territories and the atrocities

Throughout the 18th century, The French and Indian War (1754-63), also known as the Seven Years’ War, altered the relationship between Britain and its American colonies politically, economically, and also in ideological ways. During this time, the country with the most land had the most power. Britain and France had a lot of conflicts because Britain felt threatened by French. Britain was not pleased with the fact that France was expanding into the Ohio River, however Britain eventually won the war. The War was ended by the Treaty of Paris 1763.Britain gained control over Canada and Florida and they were able to open The Mississippi valley westward. Britain gained the entire eastern coastline of North America and also France, which caused

The problem with the Natives is that they blocked westward movement for Americans, who were mainly motivated by money. To appease the white settlers frustration, Jackson prompted Congress to pass the Removal Act of 1830. The Removal Act caused the forced removal of Indians from the land they inhabited in the Southeast, to land which would be granted west of the Mississippi River(7). At this time, President Jackson was responsible for negotiating, and creating removal treaties with the Native tribes, even if it meant having to be threatening at times. Robert Whaples states, “About seventy treaties were signed by which more than 100 million acres of Indian land were added to the public domain at a cost to the government of about $65 million plus 32 million acres in the new Indian Territory”, which shows just how crucial the Removal Act was towards the growth of the nation. Jackson’s aggressive political strategies seemed to had muzzled the Indians, who had been a burden for white settlers in one way or another since Columbus stepped on the

The Seven Years war, or the French and Indian war, represented the major turning point in deciding British-Colonial relations. This Seven Years’ War lasted from 1754 and ended with The Treaty of Paris in 1763. With the help of the colonists, the British were able to defeat the French, and became the “dominant naval power” in the world. Although many colonists and the British rejoiced over their victory, its consequences completely changed the way colonists viewed the British.

French and Indian War (Seven Years' War) (1756-1763) - Was a war fought by French and English on American soil over control of the Ohio River Valley-- English defeated French in 1763. Historical Significance- established England as number one world power and began to gradually change attitudes of the colonists toward England as the war had been enormously expensive, and the British government’s attempts to impose taxes on colonists to help cover these expenses resulted in increasing colonial resentment of British attempts to expand imperial authority in the colonies.

The forceful removal and exodus of thousands of Native Americans from their lands east of the Mississippi River during the 1830s is often called the Trail of Tears. This removal of Native Americans from their lands was a result of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which was signed by then-President Andrew Jackson one year into his presidency and which President Martin Van Buren ensured was carried out.

The French and Indian War was said to have been the Colonial add-on of the seven years’

The French and Indian War, also known as the Seven Years’ War, was a large war in North America between Great Britain and France. This war began in 1754 and ended with the British winning, and the French signing the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The treaty gave Britain more territorial claims that the French had in North America.

In 1754, Britain and France, allied with the Indians, began fighting over land in North America. Then in 1756 the French and Indian war was officially declared, although it was not named at the time.

Native Americans believe that land didn’t belong to anyone; they believed a land was freedom and was provided for everyone to use. Also, allowing people to create agricultural and having shelter . However, White American’s believed in land ownership, which caused confliction towards Native Americans and White Americans. The Trails of Tears also know as the Cherokee, forced fifteen thousands Native American to leave their homeland and travel to another location because White Americans wanted to manufacture on railroad companies. This caused over four thousand Natives to die on their way to their new journey . In addition, president Andrew Jackson created the Indian Removal act in 1830; this permitted the
