Because they belived the Manchos Dynasty had lost the Mandate of Heaven
Answer: Their journey became known as<u> the "Trail of Tears."</u>
Explanation/context:
In the court case, <em>Worcester v. Georgia</em> (1832), Samuel Worcester was a Christian minister working among the Cherokee and was supportive of the Cherokee cause. To block the activity of a man like Rev. Worcester, the state of Georgia passed a law prohibiting white persons to live within the Cherokee Nation territory without permission from the Georgia state government. Worcester and other missionaries challenged this law, and the case rose to the level of a Supreme Court decision. The decision by the Supreme Court, written by Chief Justice Marshall, struck down the Georgia law and reprimanded Georgia for interfering in the affairs of the Cherokee Nation. Marshall wrote that Indian nations are "distinct, independent political communities retaining their original natural rights."
President Andrew Jackson chose not to enforce the court's decision. He said at the time: "The decision of the Supreme Court has fell stillborn, and they find that it cannot coerce Georgia to yield to its mandate." He told the Cherokee that they would need to operate under the jurisdiction of the state of Georgia or else relocate. This was a step in the direction of what became known as the "Trail of Tears," when the Cherokee were removed from Georgia and moved to territory in Oklahoma.
Treaty of Versailles:
- Called for harsh punishment of Germany
- Called for Germany's demilitarization
- Called for Germany to lose it's colonies
Fourteen Points:
- Called for military to reduce size
- Called for alliances to be made known to the public
- Called for leniency on Germany
- Called for free trade among the nations
The most important difference is that the Fourteen Points called for leniency on Germany, while the Treaty of Versailles called for more harsh punishments on Germany.
Answer:
Prior to the War of 1812, the British navy engaged in impressment, which meant that they forced American sailors serve on British ships.
Explanation:
Impressment refers to the forcible recruitment of seafarers for war and merchant ships. This type of deprivation of liberty was also used at times for supplementing the army.
The British Royal Navy used impressment as a means for compulsory recruitment from the Elizabethan Age, and since 1563 this was legally legitimized. Even after American independence, Americans continued to be forced into the Navy as Britain continued to consider all Americans born British as its citizens. In the course of the coalition wars, around 9,000 Americans were forcibly recruited into the British fleet. This approach was one reason for the outbreak of the War of 1812.
They reacted by having everyone work in the industry. While the men were fighting the war or making things that support the war, the women were also involved in production of weaponry and supplies. Even the children joined the war effort as Hitler's Youth, which was like a program for children to join the support of the government. When things got really serious and dangerous they even sent the children to fight.
