In class we looked at the Indian Removal Act also known the trail of tears where America forced Native Americans off their land and out toward modern day Oklahoma. Over time we have been gone from thinking this was an acceptable and smart action to realizing it was wrong, unconstitutional and tragic. After a brief lecture students looked at textbook readings from 5 different time periods. As the textbooks evolve America's role is greater questioned. The reading is slightly difficult as the PDF came out sideways but the reading and questions are still there.
