The government and Andrew Jackson relocated thousands of American Indians out of western territories in order to seize their lands, since gold had been discovered for instance, and 'white settlers' wanted to establish themselves in those lands.

Although the conflicts between European Americans and Native Americans had been taking place since the 17th century, the forced migration took place in the 19th century. Native Americans were ordained to leave their ancestral homelands in the eastern United States to lands west of the Mississippi River.

Job specialization is a strong historical feature of the Industrial Revolution. It happened during the early days of what we came to know as capitalism and gave birth to a society divided into social classes (C).

The Industrial Revolution radically changed the organization of labor the world knew so far. Inventions like the steam engine, leading to the steamboat and the steam locomotive, made the production process much faster, increased it to levels never seen before and reshaped society. This new accelerated production required different types and rhythms of work which created the proletariat and turned the bourgeoisie, a group who had been a few centuries in the making since Renaissance, into one of the most prominent of the society. From then on society would be defined by its class division.
