Elias Boudinot was a Cherokee born newspapers editor, member of a wealthy and prominent family, he was killed for having signed the Cherokee removal treaty of Nova Scotia, he was murdered on June 22, 1839 by members of the National Party that was against the removal of the Cherokees from their land. He was killed among other cherokee leaders that supported the removal treaty, it´s important to notice that they were not su much in favor of the removal, but rather against the consequences that oppose the removal would mean for the Cherokee people, knowing that they were very much against the wall.

Many European countries took control of the African continent and used

people who lived there by making them servants in their own homes. Some European countries still exert influence
in the region even though many African countries gained their independence.
