چکیده
As American settlers moved ever westward in the 1800s, conflict continued with the Native Americans who lived in these territories. The federal government used a combination of treaties and force to move Native Americans westward. The treaties were worthless, because Native Americans were forced repeatedly to give up their land that had been guaranteed by treaty. In the late 1830s, President Andrew Jackson began his policy of Indian removal – forcing all Native Americans to move west of the Mississippi. Even though the Cherokee won their case in the Supreme Court to keep their land, Worcester v. Georgia (1832), President Jackson ignored the ruling. In 1838, President Martin Van Buren (Jackson’s successor) ordered the U.S. Army to the Cherokee homeland to take them on a forced march known as the Trail of Tears. The road 17,000 Cherokee Indians plodded into exile more than 160 years ago winds 1,200 miles through the heartland of America from North Carolina to Oklahoma. A proud nation, uprooted and dispossessed, traveled it for six long, bitter months in the winter of 1838-39. Sickness broke out at every mile. One person out of every four died on the forced march. The humiliation and suffering that the Cherokee experienced on this sorrowful march have no parallel in American history. The story of that march into exile and its cause forms one of the darkest chapters in the history of American empire building.

متن کاملA Gravitational Effective Action on a Finite Triangulation
We construct a function of the edge-lengths of a triangulated surface whose variation under a rescaling of all the edges that meet at a vertex is the defect angle at that vertex. We interpret this function as a gravitational effective action on the triangulation, and the variation as a trace anomaly.
