These articles, "A Permanent Habitat for the American Indians" and "Memorial of the.

             Cherokee Nation," enlighten the reader to both sides of a very controversial issue in the early.

             1830"s. The views of Andrew Jackson on removing the Cherokee Indians are very biased and very.
