Question

choose three items that correctly describe an aspect of the removal of native americans from the southeastern united states in the early 1800s.
a cherokees lived in great numbers in and around the appalachian mountains.
b president andrew jackson was against the removal of the creek from the south.
c president andrew jackson disagreed with chief justice john marshall regarding the removal of native americans from the south.
d the case of worcester v. georgia successfully stopped the removal of native americans from the south.
e the \trail of tears\ began in the 1830s

Explanation:

• Option A: The Cherokee were a major Southeastern tribe with large populations in and around the Appalachian Mountains, which is a key context for their removal.
• Option C: President Andrew Jackson openly defied Chief Justice John Marshall's rulings (like Worcester v. Georgia) that favored Native American sovereignty, creating a direct disagreement over removal policies.
• Option E: The "Trail of Tears," the forced relocation of the Cherokee, began in 1838, which falls within the 1830s and is a core event of early 1800s Native American removal.
• Option B is incorrect: Jackson was a strong proponent of Indian Removal, including the removal of the Creek.
• Option D is incorrect: While Worcester v. Georgia ruled in favor of the Cherokee, Jackson refused to enforce the decision, so it did not stop removal.

Answer:

A. Cherokee lived in great numbers in and around the Appalachian Mountains.
C. President Andrew Jackson disagreed with Chief Justice John Marshall regarding the removal of Native Americans from the South.
E. The "Trail of Tears" began in the 1830s.
