2. What is at least one major difference between the language in Jackson's "On Indian Removal" speech and the language in "Samue

Bess [88]

Answer:

President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act in 1830 to relocate Native Indians to the west. In his "On Indian Removal" speech, he discusses how Indian Removal benefits both Indians and White Americans. A personal story about a young boy being relocated with his clan on the Trail of Tears is another writing about Native American removal. Though these two readings deal with the same subject, they use quite different language to express their views on Native American removal. The situation is described differently in both pieces, as is the sentence structure and tone. The language differences between Jackson's "On Indian Removal" and Rutledge's "Samuel's Memory" show how separate groups viewed and were affected by Indian removal.
