3. Many people in America wanted to make the Native Americans move out of Georgia and west of the Mississippi because the land was good for farming, and president Andrew Jackson supported that idea.

4. In 1834, a Sauk Chief named Black Haw tried to recapture it's territory in Illinois. They were met by extremely strong resistance though, as the 4,500 American soldiers easily took them out. The Seminoles were a different story, however, as they resisted from giving up their land and went to war against the US. After the wars, they came to a compromise, as the Native Americans gave 100 million acres of land to US, and got back 68 million dollars and about 32 acres of land. That land, now known as present day Oklahoma, was used for Native Americans.
