In what ways did efforts to get Indian land in the 1820s and 1830s continue earlier patterns, and in what ways were they something different?
What will be an ideal response?
Most students will readily see the same old story of whites taking Indian land, ignoring treaties, and using violence. What is different is the rationale. The old rationale had been that Indians were "savages." In the 1820s and 1830s the Indians had presumably done what whites had allegedly wanted them to do. The Cherokees were part of the five "Civilized Tribes," who lost their lands despite accepting key elements of white culture.
