Question: What can you infer about the American public’s feelings toward involvement in World War 1 during President Wilson’s first term?

Britain also interfered with American ships in an attempt to blockade Germany. Despite these incidents, President Wilson worked to keep the United States out of the war.

Question Type: Multiple Choice

Question: Which of the following events occurred immediately after Jackson became a President? 

By the 1840s, only a very small number of Native Americans remained in the southern United States between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mississippi River. Much of the Native Americans’ removal from this area occurred through a series of treaties and legislation encouraged by President Andrew Jackson. After taking office in 1829, Jackson spurred Congress to pass the Indian Removal Act of 1830. This allowed Jackson to offer Native Americans territory in the west in exchange for leaving their native lands in the east. Jackson also signed many removal treaties that forced Native Americans off their homelands.

One such group, the Cherokee Nation, disputed government policies in Georgia that limited their freedoms. The Supreme Court decided in 1832 that Native American groups were not subject to state laws. Later, Jackson negotiated his own removal treaty with a Cherokee chief. Congress approved the treaty in 1835. When many Cherokee resisted leaving their lands, Jackson ordered a military response. Finally, in 1838, U.S. troops forced the Cherokee to the Indian Territory. The Cherokee’s 800-mile forced march became known as the Trail of Tears.

1. Jackson negotiated a removal treaty with the Cherokee. 
2. The Cherokee disputed government policies that limited their freedoms.
