Cherokee Poem:
The Cherokee Indians' Burden
Pile on the Cherokees' Burden
Forced out of their home
Jackson ignored the case
The trail of tears they're going to have to roam
Forced out with only the clothes on their back
We're not savages, we're a nation
Compassion is what Jackson lacks.
"It will benefit the country"
That's what Jackson said
If we're forced to the east
Many will be dead.

4/23 class
today in class we did an activity on what it would be like to live in a sod house. we discussed what is was like living in a sod house, and the struggles that we would face without electricity, and in the long cold winter.
1.overall impression of the sod house- i think living in the sod house would be very difficult and miserable. cooking would be a struggle, and sleeping would be very uncomfortable. the fire would also be unsafe.
2. how long could you go before going insane- i could probably go a couple months before going insane being in a small sod house with my family.
3. city or great plains- based on what i have learned, i would have rather stayed in the city, then moved to the great plains. moving west would have required a lot of travelling, and even though i would have gotten a lot of land for not a lot of money, but it wouldn't be worth it. farming the land was difficult, and living in the sod house would have been horrible.

Effect the Erie Canal Had on Me
I am a pioneer. The Erie Canal had a very large effetc on me. Th Erie Canal has improved the traveling of goods from east to west, and then west to east. things can now be shipped faster, things can now be shipped must faster, using the canal. Since part of the canal runs through my farm land, i can now charge people to use tyhe bridge, and i make money. one negitive impact the canal hasd had, is that disesses, like cholera, are spreading much faster. alot of people are getting sick.

4/2 class activity
today, in class we did a Snap Debate on the causes of the War of 1812. The four events were: the Orders in Councuil, Impressment, the Chsapeake Affair, and Incitement of Amerindians. The members of my group and I, thought that the most important cause of the war was Orders in Council. Wewere right, and we also convinced peopole from other groups.
