I do not think this statement represents the entire picture. For me I would include what was it about the native land that was so desirable to these people. In preparing for the Cherokee removal, state and federal officials were motivated solely by desire to seize the natives’ land. The native’s land was desirable to the eyes of state and federal officers. They wanted the native’s land and made a plan to drive the Cherokees away. For this revision, I wanted to make it more appealing to my audience of high school aged kids and young adults. I would like to research more on my topic and see if there journals from Abraham Lincoln and the people who worked for him. It would be great if I could find audio of Lincoln discussing his idea of the Emancipation Proclamation.
