What do you think the answers are? Have you read your textbook on the removal of the Cherokee Nation?

If you need to look it up, Wikipedia has a good article that explains it all quite well.

I have read my textbook. If I did not I would not be here.

Try this article, as Reed suggested.

Hi, I just wanted to point out that the correct answer for number 2 is a, and the correct answer for number 4 is c.

To answer question 2, the correct answer is a.) settlers wanted to settle the land.

During the 1830s, Native Americans were forced to leave their lands primarily because of the westward expansion of American settlers. As settlers moved westward, they desired more land and resources, which often coincided with Native American territories. The settlers wanted to settle the land for agriculture, mining, and other economic purposes, which led to conflicts with Native American tribes who resided there. The U.S. government, influenced by the desires of the settlers, developed policies to forcibly remove Native Americans from their lands and relocate them to designated areas, often far away from their ancestral homes.

Regarding question 4, the correct answer is c.) He disregarded the decision and removal of the Cherokee proceeded as planned.

In Worcester v. Georgia, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Cherokee Nation, stating that Georgia had no right to interfere with the tribe. However, President Andrew Jackson famously responded by ignoring the court's ruling. Jackson, a staunch supporter of Indian removal, disagreed with the decision and took no action to enforce or uphold it. As a result, the removal of the Cherokee and other Native American tribes continued according to the plans set forth by the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which Jackson had signed into law.
