Question

So im writing an essay about the Indian Removal Act and I have to "Defend the passage or rejection of the Act with reference to the moral, political, constitutional and practical concerns of a congressman." obviously I am defending the rejection of the act but after i wrote my first two body paragraphs, I wasn't sure what argument I could use for my third. The first body para discusses how it was wrong morally, and the second discuses the impracticality of Andrew Jackson's reasons for passing the act...any ideas on what I could say for my last one?????

Answer 1

Answer 2

Um...im trying to think so you only need help for a reason for the third paragraph right?>

Answer 3

yeah! if you want I could PM you what I have so far for my two body paragraphs

Answer 4

Yes that would be very helpful in me assisting you wit the rest..:DDD

Answer 5

ok! hold on a sec

Answer 6

maybe the third should express the numbers of Indians dead or the affect of the removal like..how did the Europeans thrived while natives died from things like lack of food and they were corrupted by diseases

Answer 7

well I was gonna add the amount of natives who died into the first body paragraph to further explain how passing it was immoral

Answer 8

um oki...hold on...

Answer 9

How about we talk about the outcome..like how..natives that live in america now have no taxes or...they get into college with lesser pay

Answer 10

lol either that or just explain the removal act as an effect on Europeans

Answer 11

I actually thought about writing about how they pay cheaper tuition but then realized it would go against the points i made in the previous paragraphs since I'm arguing against it. Writing a paragraph on the positive effects would counteract my initial argument

Answer 12

yea but isnt the third body paragraph always a counterclaim? or does that not apply to this response?

Answer 13

not in this case:/// i did that once on one of my essays and my teacher took off points

Answer 14

Oh wow...i guess the curriculum changes well then ill search for a negative aspect of the removal

Answer 15

okay! thank you for taking the time to help me :)

Answer 16

They were forced and pressure to be removed from Southern states. They had to rebuild homes, and their own lives. They had to start anew to a brand new start in life because they had been basically kicked off of their land.
It was probably the most aplty named piece of American legislation. It, uh...Removed most eastern tribes further west.?

Answer 17

The little to no Indians lived and had to migrate further and start a new life without the comfort of their previous land

Answer 18

Oh and Jackson persuaded the Europeans that the Indians were given money and plenty food and land some where else -2nd body paragraph

Answer 19

!! thanks! i think i might be able to formulate a decent third paragraph from that

Answer 20

Np..:D glad to help
