Description
The social reform movements of the 19th Century worked to reform the issues of slavery, religious freedom, and women’s rights, among others. However, one marginalized culture would not benefit from this progress, the Indigenous people of the American Southeast. The “Five Civilized” tribes were removed from the Southeast, although many had adopted American customs and established a representative form of government. Within this era of reform, why would citizens accept Jackson’s ideas on Indian removal? What gains would be made by moving those tribes west to the territory that became known as Oklahoma in 1890? Explain your answer with specific examples from your assigned reading and media.

was a representative one (Lloyd, 1831). This paper, therefore, tries to evaluate why citizens would
accept Jackson’s ideas on the removal of India and the kinds of gains made by moving those tribes
west to the territory of Oklahoma in 1890.
India Removal
In 1830, US President Andrew Jackson oversaw the India Removal, forcing Natives living
