3 0

The Indian Removal Act took place in the first half of the 1800s under the presidencies of Andrew Jackson and Martin van Buren and directly led to the Trail of Tears, which resulted in the death of many members of tribes in the American South. It was considered controversial because the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the tribes' cause wherein the state of Georgia (which was actively seeking to evict the Indian inhabitants) was told it had no right to force their removal. Nevertheless, the president ordered their removal.

hope this helps! :)

Why did the United States refuse to join the League of Nations? What bigger message did this send to other countries? Min 2 sent

torisob [31]

Answer:

Although the USA played a major role in establishing the international league, it withdrew from joining the league. The main reason for this action was the outrage of American society, they did not want American resources and young lives were wasted on looking at the world and fighting a war in countries they had never cared for. This left France and Britain as the only ones capable of working in the league and also had no interest in working for the international league goal, which led to its collapse.
