The Selective Act, also known as Selective Draft Act, was enacted on May 18, 1917 requiring all men between the ages of 21 and 30 to register with locally administered draft boards for military conscription by national lottery. The age limits for the draft were later extended to include all men from ages 18 to 45.

The Selective Draft Act was canceled with the end of World War I in 1918.

How far did the cherokees have to travek to get to what is now oklahoma.

Vesna [10]

Around 2,200 miles.

Explanation:

The Indian Removal Act was passed in 1830, this meant that many Native Americans had to move from their tribal lands to what is now present-day Oklahoma. If they did not move, they would have to be forcefully removed by the United States military and unfortunately, that was the case for many.

A lot of the Natives realized they did not stand a chance against the United States government, so they left by themselves and tried to avoid confrontation. Many of the Cherokee Natives did not want to move and even tried begging to stay in their homeland. The United States government did not budge and wanted to still move them to Oklahoma in order to expand.

Eventually, the Cherokee Natives were forced out and had to walk 2,200 miles to what is now Oklahoma, this walk is known as the Trail of Tears. The Native Americans were walked at gunpoint and many of them ended up dying from disease, weather conditions, dehydration, and other factors.
