This picture is an advertisement for selling land that previously belonged to Native Americans before they were removed and forced to relocate on reservations. This source taught me how messed up some of white America was back in the 1800's they literally took land away from people who have been living on it for centuries and if they refused they were killed.

This picture is a political cartoon showing white America beating the native Americans with a paddle that says "war" laying down on the ground in front of the native is the word "peace" broken in half. This political cartoon is about the Indian Removal act and how the natives wanted peace but that's not what they got when the U.S military came to relocate them. this source really helped me better understand this topic by making it easier to comprehend what REALLY happened during this process.
