- Description:
- This lesson is designed to be part of a history unit covering the expansion of the United States in the early 1800's. It focuses specifically on conflicts between settlers and Native Americans (in Alabama and the Southeast) and includes multiple primary documents, including two letters written by different Alabama governors. The material links to Andrew Jackson’s presidency, the Indian Removal Act of 1830, and the concept of Manifest Destiny. Student activities include: reading and analyzing primary documents, discussing and questioning the significance of the material, and writing an analytical essay. Emphasis is on developing students’ critical thinking and writing skills, their ability to analyze a visual image, and their ability to explore material in depth.
