By: Davis, Kenneth Penn.
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this document Davis discusses four major factors which combined in 1828 to bring the removal of the Eastern Cherokee into open and heated debate: the publication of the Cherokee Phoenix newspaper in which issues of removal were discussed; the discovery of gold within Indian territory making Cherokee land most desirable to non-Indians; the election of Andrew Jackson as president who favored the removal; and the incorporation by the state of Georgia of Cherokee lands as counties of the state. Each of these factors is discussed in some detail in this work.
