= Native American Genocide: World Reaction =

No one cared about the Native Americans in the 1700s and 1800s. When the Native American Genocide happened, many people did not react as badly to that specific sequence of events as they did to other tragic events in history. The U.S. did not recognize the actions against the Native Americans as a genocide. ======

The Battle of Wounded Knee was considered to be one of the most atrocious events in United States history. Many Americans living near the reservations thought of the battle as a defeat of a horrendous battle with the Native Americans. ======

In the beginning, Georgia had a law the prohibited people from entering the Cherokee territory. Later, Jackson pushed the Indians out of Georgia, which was known as the "Trail of Tears", and pushed them into what is now Oklahoma. During this horrific event, many Indians were killed because of disease and difficult living circumstances. ======
