1 answer:

5 0

Ferdinard Magellan (1480-1521) leaded the Spanish expedition that was able, for the first time, to circumnavigate around the Earth between 1519 and 1522. Magellan was not able to finish the trip as he died in a battle in Phillipines in 1521, and therefore the voyage was completed by another Spanish sailor called Juan Sebastian Elcano.

The initial aim of the Spanish King Charles I when organizing the expedition was to find a westward route to arrive to the Spice Islands, which was actually fulfilled.

Describe three ways the U.S. government enforced the Indian Removal Act

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

The Indian Removal Act was signed into law by President Andrew Jackson on May 28, 1830, authorizing the president to grant lands west of the Mississippi in exchange for Indian lands within existing state borders. A few tribes went peacefully, but many resisted the relocation policy. During the fall and winter of 1838 and 1839, the Cherokees were forcibly moved west by the United States government. Approximately 4,000 Cherokees died on this forced march, which became known as the "Trail of Tears."
