It is good that we made the indians move. We should have the indians leave because they have treated us badly and the have killed innocent people, fought us in war, and more. My first reason we should make the Cherokee move is because they killed the innocent. At the time we were at war with them and they were killing the men in war, but instead of them only killing them, they went around and killed harmless men, women, and children.
