HIST 101 UMKC Cherokee Removal Cherokee Society Discussion
Question Description
READ: Theda Perdue and Michael D. Green’s The Cherokee Removal: A Brief History with Documents (yes, the whole thing)
WRITE: Using primary sources in The Cherokee Removal, write a 750-1,000 word (roughly 3-4 double spaced pages) paper that explicitly uses the primary source and responds to the following questions:
- Americans of European ancestry often described Native Americans as “primitive,” “savage,” “barbaric,” “uncivilized,” and “backward,” devoid of any kind of redeeming qualities or intelligence. Do the documents support this conclusion or do we get a different view of the Cherokee people? What role does gender, age, and education, for example, play in Cherokee society? Does removal cause a breakdown of society or does it make them stronger?
