Thursday, 1/27/2022 Exit Ticket: For our Unit 3 Performance Assessment over the next couple weeks, you will write an Op-Ed article that criticizes the Indian Removal Act. Which perspective do you plan on writing your 1-2 page Op-Ed* critique of President Jackson’s “On Indian Removal Speech” from?
*An Op-Ed is a piece of writing that expresses a personal opinion of someone who is not the newspaper editor; the name is because it is usually printed in a newspaper opposite the page on which the editorial is printed.

A member of the Cherokee Nation who traveled west on the Trail of Tears in 1838

A member of the Seminoles who fought bravely in the Second Seminole War (1835-1842)

An enslaved African American who was uprooted by their owner to move west onto better cotton land

A white Northern missionary who opposes slavery

As a present day U.S. citizen demanding the removal of Andrew Jackson from the $20 bill

The Biden administration’s long-awaited apology to the descendants of the tribes affected by the Indian Removal Act

I have another idea that I will share with Ms. Truong in the "Show Your Work" area.
