Describe the removal of Seminole Indians and compare this to the removal of other Indians. What was different about the Seminoles’ situation? Discuss the reasons why the Civilization Program was both a benefit and a problem for native Americans.
The Seminole people were forced onto ships that passed them on to New Orleans and up the Mississippi. Along with a couple of hundred of the African ex-slaves they were then sent overland to Fort Gibson (Arkansas), and on to new grounds. Various tribes brutally ambushed them. There were limited resources that they all had to share. In 1838 The “Trail of Tears” happened, in which the Cherokee Indians were forcefully removed; the Seminole Indians, on the other hand, were removed over 20 years. The Seminole people went to war with the whites settlers. The Cherokee and other Indians never resisted; Even though they were moved forcefully, it was never a war.
Thomas Jefferson created a network of treaties that would further the program of gradual “civilization.” Thomas Jeffersons Federalists’ predecessors started the program, but it was in keeping with Jefferson’s Enlightenment thinking. Jefferson hoped to continue to get Native Americans to adopt the sedentary European way of life through treaties. The Civilization program was a benefit because it promoted commercial agriculture and taught women in the domestic arts of spinning and weaving. It was a problem because some Indians refused to abandon their views that all the land was held jointly by their tribes. Even those Indians who were moving toward commercial agriculture were not inclined to part with the land.

Describe the removal of Seminole Indians and compare this to the removal of other Indians. What was different about the Seminoles situation?
when Cherokees took their issues to court, which did not do any good because although they won, Jackson refused to enforce the courts ruling. the Seminoles did the complete opposite. they decided to fight two wars to protect their land, costing the government millions in damages. which was completely unnecessary because they did not even want the Seminoles land, they only wanted them out. which they made happen, and only a few was left behind hiding in the swamplands. in my opinion, the Seminoles are the ones that made the right decision. instead of just sitting back and taking it, they fought. sure, they lost in the end, but at least they went out fighting because not only was the losing their land, they were also being put in danger by the distance and location they would have to travel. the removal of Cherokee Indians was names “The Trail of Tears”.
