cherokee syllabary
under president james monroe, secretary of war john c. calhoun devised the first plans for indian removal. by late 1824, monroe approved calhoun's plans and in a special message to the senate on january 27, 1825, requested the creation of the arkansaw territory and indian territory. the indians east of the mississippi were to voluntarily exchange their lands for lands west of the river. the senate accepted monroe's request and asked calhoun to draft a bill, which was killed in the house of representatives by the georgia delegation. president john quincy adams assumed the calhoun–monroe policy and was determined to remove the indians by non-forceful means, but georgia refused to submit to adams' request, forcing adams to make a treaty with the cherokees granting georgia the cherokee lands. on july 26, 1827, the cherokee nation adopted a written constitution modeled after that of the united states which declared they were an independent nation with jurisdiction over their own lands. georgia contended that it would not countenance a sovereign state within its own territory, and proceeded to assert its authority over cherokee territory. when andrew jackson became president as the candidate of the newly organized democratic party, he agreed that the indians should be forced to exchange their eastern lands for western lands and relocate to them, and enforced indian removal policy vigorously.
