Base your answer to question 10 on the excerpt
from an address to the Cherokee Nation below and
on your knowledge of social studies.
Cherokees! The president of the United States
has sent me, with a powerful army, to cause you,
in obedience to the treaty of 1835, to join that
part of your people who are already established in
prosperity on the other side of the Mississippi.—
Unhappily, the two years which were allowed for
the purpose, you have suffered to pass away
without following, and without making any
preparations to follow; and now, or by the time
that this solemn address shall reach your distant
settlements, the emigration must be commenced
in haste, but, I hope, without disorder. I have no
power, by granting a further delay, to correct the
error that you have committed. The full moon of
May is already on the wane [decline]; and before
another shall have passed away, every Cherokee
man, woman, and child, in those states, must be
in motion to join their brethren in the far west.…
— General Winfield Scott, 1838
