Abstract
Indigenous tribes like the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Cherokee, Creek, and Seminoles existed in the American South long before European colonizers made contact, but the Indian Removal Act (1830) forcibly removed each tribe throughout the 19th century. Succeeding removal came the westward expansion of American agriculture, forestry, land speculation, etc; far from the system of responsibilities of caring for the land held by Native tribes. This StoryMap explores the South's environment before removal, the land management practices used by Indigenous tribes and Colonizing forces, colonial justifications for removal, and the detrimental effects plantations and their owners had on the South. The arcgis storymap that goes with this project is available here: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/b6e1888203a74dcfb5ef918355c3307e
