Answer:

In my opinion Columbus did discover the west indies because the definition it states "Discover means to find (something or someone) unexpectedly or in the course of a search." never in the definition does it mention in order to "discover" something you have to be the first one to find it or be the first one to come across such and such. I see why some people might disagree but if it were in terms of if Columbus founded the west indies I would have a completely different opinion because there were people their before he was "there were already people living there. The Taino and Carib were the largest groups in the region when Columbus arrived in 1493. ..." The definition of founded is "establish or originate (an institution or organization), especially by providing an endowment." which would confirm he ONLY discovered and didn't found the west indies when both definitions are juxtaposed this is made clear.

What did the Indian Removal Act of 1830 authorize

Snowcat [4.5K]

The Indian removal act was to allow President Andrew Jackson to negotiate with southern tribes for their removal to western lands. There was nothing in the west to help them prosper so a lot of the Native Americans died along the way (trail of tears). Im an enrolled member of the Crow Tribe so I'm pretty educated in these departments. Hope this helps!
