Think about what you have read about the Indian Removal Act. How did the U.S. government convince the Cherokee people to leave their lands?
A The government started building a road.
B The troops took their livestock.
C The troops threatened them with violence.
D The government offered to pay them.
The correct answer is C: The troops threatened them with violence.
The U.S. government used coercive measures, including the threat of military force, to pressure the Cherokee and other Native American tribes to leave their ancestral lands during the implementation of the Indian Removal Act. This act was often enforced through intimidation, which made it difficult for the Cherokee to resist removal peacefully.
