Comments: For the Culure of Indian Removal, tell me what changes the Natives made to their culture and why they did it, and what, if any, benefits it got them. (Also, the gold was in Georgia).
Cultural Changes:
Indian Removal: The Americans thought that the Indians weren't worthy of the land. Although this was part of it, the Americans mostly wanted to get to the gold in California and Georgia. The relations between Indians and Americans were not good because the Americans wanted the land but Indians didn't want to leave. It was also very hard to communicate because they didn't speak the same language. The Indians had to adapt to their white neighbors and learn to do things their way. So, they formed a government, owned stores, and switched farming methods. Changing to the American way let the Indians keep their land.
California Gold Rush: People around the world potrayed the gold rush as many different things from different points of view. All of these ideas traveled around the world. People that heard about it became curious and went to check it out. It wasn't just the eastern people who traveled to California. There were many immigrants that went to California in search of gold. Those people were new to the area. They had to adapt to the surroundings and follow how the Americans did things.
