To find the correct answers to these questions, you need to have a basic understanding of the historical events in question. Let's break it down:
2. Why were Native Americans forced to leave their lands during the 1830s?
To answer this question, you should have some knowledge about the events surrounding the forced removal of Native Americans from their lands during the 1830s. In this case, you can eliminate options a) and b) because while they provide plausible reasons for the Native Americans being forced to leave, they do not directly address the specific events of the 1830s.
To determine the correct answer, you can further analyze options c) and d). Option c) states that the Supreme Court ordered their removal, which may seem like a possible answer. However, it is important to know that while the Supreme Court did rule in favor of the Native Americans in Worcester v. Georgia, President Jackson did not enforce the court's decision.
On the other hand, option d) asserts that the Native Americans' new lands were better for farming. While this may seem like a logical reason as well, it may not be directly related to the specific events of the 1830s, as stated in the question.
Considering the historical context of the 1830s and the forced removal of Native Americans, the correct answer is c) the Supreme Court's ruling was disregarded, and the removal of the Cherokee proceeded as planned. This answer aligns with President Jackson's response to the Supreme Court's decision in Worcester v. Georgia.
4. How did President Jackson respond to the Supreme Court’s ruling in Worcester v. Georgia that Georgia had no right to interfere with the Cherokee?
To answer this question accurately, you should be familiar with President Andrew Jackson's response to the Supreme Court's ruling in Worcester v. Georgia.
Option a) states that President Jackson asked Congress to revoke the Indian Removal Act of 1830, while option b) suggests that he appealed the decision on the grounds of incomplete information. However, both these options do not align with historical records of President Jackson's response to the ruling.
Option c) claims that President Jackson disregarded the Supreme Court's decision, allowing the removal of the Cherokee to proceed. This aligns with historical accounts, as President Jackson famously defied the court's ruling and is quoted as saying, "John Marshall has made his ruling, now let's see him enforce it." Therefore, c) is the correct answer.
It is worth noting that answering historical questions accurately requires studying and understanding the specific events, context, and individuals involved.
