The year 1831 was a time where a new trait was shown in America's identity. This trait we call selfishness. America learned to deceive to achieve their wants as a country. People selfishly and consistently neglected promises that they had once made. As they continually made their country more suitable for their own needs. Native Americans had to fight for their land. Yet with little knowledge of this new constitution and way of life, America could undermine the land by strategically controlling the constitution and the natives of this land.

The Cherokee did not want to give up their land. They were angered by the way the U.S. did not give them protection which went against the "Treaty of Hopewell". With all this built up anger it was virtually impossible to move them to another land "peaceably". Especially since the land they would be moved to had little value to the Natives because of its vast difference in terrain. The United States denied the right for the Native American to continue their lives on their land. Our coun
