The Indian Removal Act, signed by President Andrew Jackson (1830) authorized fair, voluntary and peaceful negotiations with southern Native American tribes for their removal to federal territory west of the Mississippi River in exchange for their lands.

However, US government often violently forced Native Americans to vacate their lands.

In 1831 the Choctaw became the first nation to be expelled from its land. Thousands of people died along the way.

In 1836, the federal government drove the Creeks from their land: 3,500 of the 15,000 Creeks did not survive the trip.

nasty-shy [4]

Jamestown, Virginia, experienced the terrible starving time in the 1609 until next year, running out of food and becoming ridden with diseases, that the population fell from more than 100 to only 60. According to Smith, many of the settlers were from aristocratic backgrounds and so were not inclined to work. Then he enforced the rule “that he that will not work shall not eat”  and enforced it with punishments or banishment from the fort. With the rule and some luck, Smith succeeded in making the colony self-sufficient.

Why were japanese on the west coast forced to live in internment camps?
soldi70 [24.7K]
I believe it was because the government was afraid that they might be spies for Japan, so they thought it was safer to keep them in one place so it would be easier to keep an eye on them. It also stemmed from racism due to the attack on Pearl Harbor and the U.S. fighting against the Japanese in the Pacific.
