...land unless they were Christians. This doctrine allowed the European people to take everything from the Native Americans without guilt or law to stop them. The Doctrine of Discovery still effects the Native American people today because of the Marshal Trilogy. The Johnson holding which was a property issue, would lead to and contribute to the circumstances later leading up to and deciding the Cherokee cases which both oddly were civil cases not property cases. During the American Revolution, the United States signed a treaty with the Cherokee Nation ensuring them that the U.S. government would honor the Cherokee land rights. The Treaty of Hopewell as it was called, stated that it would also protect the land rights of the Cherokee (Yazzie, 1999). In 1831, the second case in the trilogy, Cherokee Nation v. Georgia was a result of the “Indian Laws” these laws were being passed in spite of the Treaty of Hopewell to force the Indians off their lands for the purpose of moving in White settlers. The "Indian Laws" proclaimed all Cherokee "laws, usages, and customers" to be invalid and more importantly gave Georgia the prerogative to seize Cherokee lands and incorporate them into the county structure under state jurisdiction (Kettell, 2008). President Jackson refused to listen to the Cherokee people when they asked the federal government to help them defend their land rights. Eventual the claims would fight their way clear to the Supreme Court. The Court ruled that it lacked jurisdiction...

...The Cherokees’ even had evidence, which was the Treaty of the Hopewell,that had shown that there was established borders between the American Settlers and the Cherokees’. This also said that the Cherokees’ were offered the right to send a “deputy” to Congress, and make Cherokee land subject to Cherokee law. The Cherokees government with certain leaders, one of them being John Ross, took steps to protect national territory. John Ross joined Charles Hicks and major Ridge in the “ Cherokee Triumvirate” and all were recognized for their efforts in negotiating the Treaty of 1819. John Ross then continued his work by making legal negotiations for the Cherokees’ as the President of the constitutional convention. In 1825 the Cherokee capital, New Echota was established by present day Calhoun, Georgia. As tensions were building the Cherokee National Council had advised the United States that the council would refuse any future session requests and enforced a law prohibiting the sale of national land. this in result would be death, in the year of 1827 the...

...American Literature Journal Writing Tabish Jaleel Shaikh March 10(Saul Bellow- Seize the Day) Seize the Day was a comparatively easy read, and seemed like a very real life depiction of American life, from the eyes of the two generations, Tommy Wilhelm and his father, Dr. Adler. Comparing it to one of the first novels I read in this course, Death of a Salesman, I realize that Seize the Day also has the theme of the broken myth of the American dream embedded in the story. Also the title of the novel struck me at first, but I could not remember where I had read or come across this phrase before. Upon searching online, I remembered that it has its origin in one of the poems of a Latin Poet Horace, the word being “Carpe diem” in Latin. I remembered that I had read this back in high school, the stanza of the poem was: While we speak, envious time will have {already} fled Seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the future. It’s interesting how just a small phrase can carry so much meaning. Saul Bellow has very effectively depicted the philosophy of carpe diem by narrating a real life scenario of war stricken America where maximizing the utility of time is the very important. Although the theme of alienation and isolation is prevalent throughout the book through Tommy’s life events, Saul could not make me feel sympathetic towards Tommy. Tommy’s inability to judge himself, and be self-aware of his strengths and weaknesses causes his downfall. He is always...
