The Cherokee Removal: A Brief History with Documents, 2nd Edition

The Cherokee Removal of 1838â€“1839 unfolded against a complex backdrop of competing ideologies, self-interest, party politics, altruism, and ambition. Using documents that convey Cherokee voices, government policy, and white citizensâ€™ views, Theda Perdue and Michael D. Green present a multifaceted account of this complicated moment in American history. The second edition of this successful, class-tested volume contains four new sources, including the Cherokee Constitution of 1827 and a modern Cherokeeâ€™s perspective on the removal. The introduction provides students with succinct historical background. Document headnotes contextualize the selections and draw attention to historical methodology. To aid studentsâ€™ investigation of this compelling topic, suggestions for further reading, photographs, and a chronology of the Cherokee removal are also included.
