(sourcing) what do you already know about president jackson’s feelings about indian removal? what do you predict he will say in this speech?

The Indian Removal Act was signed by Andrew Jackson and the act became a law on May 28, 1830. It authorized the president for settling the lands which were on the west of Mississippi in exchange for the Indian lands which were within state borders. Some tribes relocated peacefully but many resisted the policy. During 1838 and 1839, the US government forced the Cherokee tribe to move west. The march came to be known as Trail of Tears and at least 4000 Cherokee people died during the march.

union blockade

explanation:

the union blockade in the american civil war was a naval strategy by the united states to prevent the confederacy from trading.

the blockade was proclaimed by president abraham lincoln in april 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of atlantic and gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably new orleans and mobile. those blockade runners fast enough to evade the union navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. they were operated largely by british citizens, making use of neutral ports such as havana, nassau and bermuda. the union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.
