Cherokee territory divided into 3 military districts by US Army and stockades are built to temporarily “corral” Cherokees before the move. • Many are malnourished and suffer deplorable conditions in stockades. Some wait months in stockades before leaving.
$ ($65) given to US Army agents to be spent on medicine and food for Cherokees often kept or not spent fully • 15,000-16,000 make journey lasting roughly 6 months. An est. 4,000+ Cherokee die once removal begins. • Some travel by foot, some by waterways – those who were wealthy chartered own convenient, safe journeys. • Thousands leave in June/July 1838 in scorching sun and others beg for a Fall departure.

HW for the weekend SS8H5d. Analyze the events that led to the removal of Creeks and Cherokees; include the roles of Alexander McGillivray, William McIntosh, Sequoyah, John Ross, Dahlonega Gold Rush, Worcester v. Georgia, Andrew Jackson, John Marshall, and the Trail of Tears. EXAMPLE: Sequoyah was a Cherokee Indian who created a syllabary that was used to create a written language for the Cherokee. The Cherokee were the first Native Americans to have a written form of their language (1821). Sequoyah was a person who tried to help Cherokees assimilate to white culture by having their own language, so that whites in GA might respect and see the Cherokee as equals. Sequoyah and other Cherokees hoped that assimilation would allow them to stay in GA in their territory and not be removed.
