The majority of the Seminole tribe in Florida were eventually forced out, but only after a seven year war between 1835 and 1842 cost the Government over $20 million. The Removal Act paved the way for the reluctant and often forcible emigration of tens of thousands of American Indian Tribes into the Western United States. The first removal treaty signed after the Removal Act was the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek on September 27, 1830, in which Choctaws in Mississippi ceded land east of the river in exchange for payment and land in the West. The Treaty of New Echota which was signed in 1835 resulted in the removal of the Cherokee on the Trail of Tears. In 1823 the Supreme Court handed

Secularization among the Missions was happening while Indian population was decreasing due to the “white mans disease”. Indians would run away and be hunted down by soldiers. Men and women were split up into separate dorms and forced to work 6 days of the week. The Indians freedom was delayed and so became a revolution. 10 years after the missions were disbanded the converted Native Americans formed new town and were considered to be loyal farmers and ranchers.

In spite of many recent economical, political, and social achievements, Afghanistan is still ranked as the fourth poorest country in the world, according to the Afghanistan 2007 Human Development Report.
