Trail of Tears
This was the relocation and movement of Native American nations from southeastern parts of the United States that followed the Indian Removal Act of 1830. In their route to their new destination, many died from exposure, diseases and starvation. Andrew Jackson continued and renewed the military effort for the removal of the Native Americans from regions like Choctaw, Cherokee, Seminole, Chickasaw and Muscogee. In 1831, Choctaw was the first to be removed, then following the other nations but all remained to stay in their homelands and stay true to their cultures. These territories started becoming states and the state governments sought to dissolve the boundaries of the Indian nations.
Monroe Doctrine
This was a policy introduced in 1823 that stated further efforts by European nations to colonize land or to interfere with states in North or South America would be aggression acquiring U.S. intervention. Its primary objective was to free the newly independent colonies of Latin America from European intervention and to put forward that the New World and the Old world were to remain separate distinct spheres. The Monroe Doctrine was inspired by the Napoleonic Wars, since the United States did not have a well enough navy, the doctrine was disregarded internationally but was accepted by the British. Also, during the Cold War, the doctrine was applied to Latin America by the U.S. foreign policy. In the doctrine, it addressed the "allied powers" of Europe and states that the United States would remain neutral in European colonies in America but opposed to "interposition's" that would create new colonies.
