Project description
The main question to address for Chapter 9 of Going to the Source, “The
Meaning of Cherokee Civilization: Newspaper Editorials about Indian
Removal,” is the following:
What were the most common public arguments made in newspaper editorials
opposing Indian removal, and were they more consistent with or contradictory to
one another?
Hint: The most obvious way to set up your response is to compare/contrast the
arguments articulated by the two authors of the newspaper editorials included
in this chapter: Elias Boudinot and Jeremiah Evarts, and that is a perfectly
acceptable way to proceed. It would also be possible, though more challenging,
to identify consistent or contradictory arguments within the sets of editorials
by Boudinot and Evarts.
