| The Cherokee Indians (切罗基族) of the early 1800's were intelligent and hardworking people. Most could read.Some lived in log cabins and others lived in large houses.A Cherokee named Sequoyah made an alphabet for his language so it could be read and written as well as spoken. As early as 1802 the state of Georgia and the federal government had signed an agreement with the Cherokee Indians that stated that the Indian land belonged to Georgia.In 1829 President Jackson had a "removal bill" introduced to Congress.The bill said that all Cherokee Indians would have to move to a reservation in Oklahoma.Georgia took the Cherokee Indians' land and began to break it into small pieces to be given to the white settlers.All contracts between Cherokee Indians and whites were canceled. Anyone owing money to a Cherokee Indian didn't have to pay back.Some whites attacked and burned the Cherokee Indians' homes.The Cherokee Indian leaders were arrested and their homes were taken away. In 1835 two Cherokees who were not elected leaders of the tribe signed a treaty (协议) with the federal government.The treaty arranged for the Cherokee Indians to move away from Georgia.The treaty was not good because no elected leader had signed it.More than 16,000 Cherokees signed a petition (请愿书) asking that the treaty should be canceled.President Jackson refused.In 1838 ten thousand American soldiers were sent to Georgia to remove the Cherokees from the land they had lived on as long as anyone could remember.They were taken to a makeshift prison until the trip west could begin. The trip to Oklahoma began in cold weather.More than four thousand Cherokee Indians died on the trip.One fourth of the tribe died on the trail (小道) known as the "Trail of Tears".The Cherokees call this trail Nunnadaultsunyi,meaning "The Place Where They Cried". 1.We learn from the first paragraph that the Cherokee Indians of the early 1800's ______.
