Describe Cherokee attempts to accommodate atempts to remove them from their ancestral homes, why did they fail

Question

Until 1830, the Cherokees had done more to adjust to European Americans expectations than any other group of Indians. Describe the Cherokee attempts to accommodate attempts to remove them from their ancestral homes and explain why they were doomed to failure in a nation that described the Cherokees as a “civilized” tribe.

Answer 1

they mimmicked white culture, adopting similar agriculture practice, clothing and culture and even owning black slaves.

they were doomed to failure because land-hungry whites were not looking for peers, they were looking to steal land and evict the rightful residents. so they were doomed if they were perceived as "savages," and doomed if they were not.

Answer 2

If your question is about removal from their homes, this is what really happened:

Indians were not taxed for the land/property they held, including slaves. Many had intermarried with the euros over at least a century and more. Their ways weren't that different.

There came a time when the euros wanted to increase the local tax base - sound familiar? So if you wanted to stay you said you were white and accepted that property taxes were a new liability. If you wanted to maintain that you were Indian then you took your $$ and family and moved out to Indian Territory. I have found that sometimes children were left behind with grandmother.

That's it. That's the story. I think there were two major pushes for that, not too long apart.
