The Trail of Tears & Andrew Jackson Primary Source Analysis + Distance Learning

The Trail of Tears and Andrew Jackson Primary Source Analysis takes students to a letter written by a U.S. soldier during the removal of the Cherokee natives in 1838. This is a first hand account describing how soldiers ripped people out of their homes and forced them to march over 2,000 miles, leaving 4,000 dead. Students then look at a political cartoon featuring President Jackson and the Cherokee and asks students to ponder why it is important to learn about “bad history” with the good. This can be used in class or as homework as it’s a completely stand alone assignment. This is also perfect for substitute teacher plans, and of course, a key is included.
