Map Exercises (obj. 6.3) – Refer to the map on page 214 to answer the interpretation questions. Utilize your textbook and the following videos located in the class in the green instructional book: Massacre at Fort Mims, Indian Removal and Trail of Tears Explained, and Trail of Tears. The National Parks website (https://www.nps.gov/trte/index.htm) is also helpful to answer the interpretation questions.)
Map Exercises – Interpretation
(This will be in a word document. Make sure to write in your own words and in complete sentences. Prove your assertions using specific details or examples.)
1. Why did the states involved want the Indians removed? Look at the location of the tribal lands and explain why the lands’ continued occupation by the Indians represented not only the loss to the states of valuable territory but also a possible threat to westward movement.
2. How did the land to which the Indians were removed differ from that on which they had lived? Were whites aware of the significance of the difference? What does this suggest about white attitudes toward the Indians?
3. What geographic features made it possible for the Seminoles (and some Cherokees) to resist removal?
4. Note the removal routes. What geographic features were considered in determining where the Indians would travel? Do you think this made the trek easier or more difficult?
5. Note the location of the forts in or near the Indian Territory. Why were they placed as they were? What does this indicate about American Indian policy?
So each question should be copied and pasted, and then answered. My teacher wants it answered if formal writing, no first person. No introduction, and no conclusion. Just answered please. If you have any questions please email me on here and let me know.
