1.In May the President said that he was going to move the Cherokees to the other side of the Mississippi river.
2.The worst part of relocation was that everytime they move to another place most of the plants are dead.
3.Yes because many people argued if the Cherokees should keep their land or ifthe whites shoudkeep on taking it.
4.Yes because it gave a lot of details and information that was all about the Trail of Tears.

3. Yes, because most of the people kept fightng if the cherokees should keep there pieces of land.
4. Yes, beacause it gave alot of information and details that was about the trail of tears
p.2 Emily Orellana & Ernesto Cruz
1) i think what happened is that all cherokees were prisoners.
2)I think the worst part of the relocation was that they had to move west and their wasnt any trees and they could only make tippies and it didnt rain a lot.
3) i think they cant do anything because its not fair for the others who voted not be able to vote. i also think that they cant stop it because its impossible to made that happen.
4)I think that the women was the grandmother of the professor and I think it was important that she was her grandmother because she was the one who told him to go west and I think the story was intended to be a factual history story and didnt have another purpose.
JUAN M. P2
1. THE CHEROKEE WERE MOVING WEST AND THERE WAS MANY HARDSHIPS AND MANY DIED DURING THAT TIME.
2. THAT THERE WAS STARVATION AND THERE WAS NOT ALOT OF WATER SO THEY SUFFERD AND MANY DIED.
3. YES BECAUSE THEY WOULDHAVE STOPED THE INDIAN REMOVAL , NO BECAUSE THE MAJORITY MIGHT NOT ALWAYS BE RIGHT, SOMTIMES THE MINORITY SHOULD STOP THE MAJORITY BECAUS THE MINORITY MIGHT BE DOING THE RIGHT THING AND THE OTHERS MIGHT NOT.
4. YES, YES, YES BECUASE HE WOULDNT TELL THE STORY IF HIS GRANDMOTHER HADNT TOLD IT TO HIS PARENTS, YES IT WAS FOR FACTUAL HISTORY BECUASEIT TOLD FACTS WE KNOW ARE TRUE TODAY.
P.2 Bryant Salas

2.that most of the cherokees died
3. In some kind of cases yes but on this one no,because the cherokee owned that laned for a long time and now there being moved
4.it doesent really matter if it was his grandmother or not its still an intresting stroy because it tells what they acutally whent threw and it tell alot but why i think dosent really matter is that she had a pet goose.
L.N
1)General scott issued the following proclamation,
2)They where evil to them when they had to be niceto them.
3)No because you might get hurt and yes because they can leave that evil place.
4)Yes because it has many details about what really happened to them.
per 2 pablo n. martin z.
1.the president Van Buren sent Gen Winfield Scott to make the indians get ot of their land an move to another land. it was hard for indians to move all their belongings
2. the indians had short supplies an they didnt have water an the water they had was contaminated an people died because of that
3.the majority can not do any thing they want they might have more people an their side but the minority intend to think before they act an the minority can stop the majority by giving them evidence an resenable reasons
4.i think it had another purpose because he talked about her grandmother an the animal she kept under her clothes an how she didnt die because of it
per.2 Christian Perea , Ricardo Torres
1. The cherokees got kicked out of there own land.They were moved to the west into stockades.
2.I think the worst part of the relocation was that they were held like prisoners and lots were killed. They got kicked out of there own land.
3. The majority rule was very popular because they would always use it. I think the majority should'nt have all the power. Everyone is equal and i think the minority have rights too.
4. I think it didnt happen like that because the soldiers would of probably killed her. If they didnt have nothing to eat why would she rather give the goose bread.
Juan C. Carlos M. per 2
1. It was a treaty that the president did to move the cherokees, for the cherokees this movement was very hard because many of them died.
2. they left their location and tradition so they were very sad, they were not going to the same kind of place.
3. no because the indians weren't able to do anything about it or even vote.
4. no i do not think that she was a grandmother .yes because he could of protected them with the license
Diana R. & Deana D. Period.2
1. What happened to the Cherokees in the period of May to October 1838? What was life like for the Cherokees during that time?
The Cherokees were all nearly prisoners. They had been dragged from their houses.
2. What do you think was the worst part of the relocation? Why?
The way they had to get rid of the Cherokes and everything they had to leave behind.
3. Andrew Jackson believed that "the majority rules." It is true that Indian removal was a very popular policy with voters over many years in the 1830s. Should the majority of voters be able to do anything they want? Why or why not? Should a minority of voters be able to stop the will of the majority? Why or why not?
Well even though the majority rules i still dont think i matters because its not like everyone in the majority group has power. But if the votes actually counted, in that way i mean that if they will actually respect that then the most thing that will matter is in what way the maority wins.
4. Reread Professor Thomas' story? Do you think it is really happened that way? Was the woman really Professor Thomas' grandmother? Is it important if she is not really his grandmother? Do you think the story was intended as factual history, or had another purpose?
Well if they actually say that it actually happened then yes we belive it because many things say it was true.
Daniela Orozco & David S P2
1. It was when they made the cheerokees move .
2.They could not take anything with them exept for the closen they had on.
3.I think that neither the majority or the minority should be able to decide it should be equal.
Veronica Reyes, Period 2,
January 21,2010
1) On May 10, 1838, General Scott issued the following proclamation:
Cherokees! The President of the United States has sent me, with a powerful army, to cause you, in obedience to the Treaty of 1835, to join that part of your people who are already established in prosperity, on the other side of the Mississippi. . . . The full moon of May is already on the wane, and before another shall have passed away, every Cherokee man, woman and child . . . must be in motion to join their brethren in the far West.
2) They suffered from starvation and not alot of water, so many did.
3) No, because the cause and effect of their 'wanting' can be bad. and the minority of voters should be able to stop it for good effect.
4) i think Thomas's story was probably a little over exaggerated, and also the lady could have been his rand mother. whas the point of lying, its History.
Jackie M.
period 1
1.)The president sent a Gen with soldierss to tell the Cherokees that they had 2 years to move farther west. Life during that time for the Cherokees was bad they were treated like prisoners.
2.)I think the worst part of the relocatoion was the shortage of food,clothes, and medicine because a lot of people to die.
3.)I think the majority voters shouldnt be able t do anything they want because its peoples homes hey are taking away. I think the minority voters should be able to stop the majority ony in the case if they are doing harmfull things t others.
4.)
p.2 Stacey M. & Ashley k.
1.what happen to the cherokees in the period of may to october 1838? what was life like for the cherokees during that time?
throughout may and october the cherokees were all prisoners and been draged out of homes and cramped into forts and military posts all over the nation

Ashley V. & Bellana O.{per.2}
1.Its was sad because they had to leave from where they were and some of them could only take clothes and it was also sad because many of them died while walking on the Trail of Tears.
2.The relocation they went to had gold and Georgia wanted the land, we also thought the worst part was that when they would get somewhere they'd constanly be moved somewhere else.
3.
p#2 Annabel G. Angel S.
1.It was very sad for them because they had to move from where they were and some of them could only take there clothe another reason it was sad was because many died
2.the worst part of the relocation was that the cherokees had to leave there nice built house and had to leave almost every thing they owned they could only take the thing that they could carry on there backs
3.I do and do not beleive that the majority rules should always be good because sometime what there trying to do isnt fair
P:2 Gema O. Gabriel V.
1.)They were forced to move out of their lands with zero time.
2.)They couldn't take all of their belongings with them with their clothes on their back.
3.)No because all Native Americans Have have right s to own lands.
- Yes because the native people should have the rights to vote as well.
4.)Yes I do think that really happened and it is his grandmother.
P: 3 Ramoro B & Sandra C
1) What have happened to the cherokees in the period of May to October 1838 was a very sad and painful life for them. They had to leave their land homes.
2) The worst part of the relocation was that after they had settled then Andrew Jackson would tell his soldiers to tell the Native Americans.
3) The majority of voters should not be able to do whatever they want because they could do murders, rob, and anything that is a crime. The goverment might not do anything because the voters would not like the president Andrew Jackson and they will try to vote for somebody else to be president.
4) What we think is that that woman is actually not Thomas' grandmother. Maybe to prove that they could pass through the road because the soldiers came and took us away.
P3 Alisson D Alan P
1. The president sent Gen Winfield to tell them to move. Time in the cherokees was awful cause they had to move and just take the clothes they wored.
2. The relocation was bad for the cherokees because it was raining and there was mud so it made it harder.
3.yes voters have the decision to stop or continue the Indian removal because the Indian removal could stop being popular.
4.I think that it really happened. Yes it is important if that women was the professor grandmother cause if she wasn't then why did the women tell him the story. It had other purposes because the professor is trying to cheer him up so he can survive.
Ofelia R. & Perla M. Period 3.
1: For the cherokees it was difficult, the white men would come to their lands and tell them to move to another place because they were gonna use their land.
2: When they had to move to the West walking or on donkeys and the weather wasn't that great.
3: Yes, because if the president doesn't give what the voters want they will loose population and the voters will vote for someone els.
4:
1. general Scott's tone was strict because he had to get the job done.
no because the government would of still thrown me out of my land .
2. between may and October of 1837, thee Cherokee people were forced out of their land and were taken to the west. i think life at that time was hard especially for the Cherokee people because u had to leave home no matter how much you loved it there you had to leave.
3.
Joselyn C. Period 3
1. The Cherokees had to move to their new land.They had some ruff times.Many people died during the travel and they were running out of coffins,food,medicine and clothing.Many of them got a disease that was spreading.
2.I think the worst part was, when the soilders draged the indians out of their house and didnt let them take anyhing except their clothes.
3.I think the voters should do anything they want because,they have the right to do anything.Maybe a minority can stop because,they can have enogh people to stop it.
4.The story of Thomas never really happened.Also his grandmother may not be his grandmother.I think that maybe they found it in a book or imagined how it may have been.
Steven Luis & Valeria Bazan Per. 3
1. They sent a governor yo move the Cherokees' off of the land.
2. We think it was the part when they had to see their friends and family dying.
3. Yes because many didn't want the Indians around because they wanted their land. Yes and no because it was very hard to make decisions back in especially since war could start. Sometimes for the same reasons.
4. Yeah i think it
Ivan G Javier C
p.3
1)They were being moved to the west past the mississippi river. They were being forced to move out of there land .
2)Leaving behind all of there belonging and leaving there homelan because they would have to start all over.
3)No because Andrew Jackson didn't enforce the law.
4)Yes I really think that it happened that way.She was her grandmother and it was important cause she could of given him exact details.The story was true and it was intended to inform us.
p.3 Stephanie O. and Vanesa E.
1.The Cherokees were forced to go to the west. Every men, women, and child had to leave. It was very hard for them.
2.Having to move to the west, due to the harsh weather, and getting use to the new enviornment.
3.The majority should not be able to do whatever they want becuse they migth b wrong.
P3 Anais O Anaid R
1. The Cherokees were forced to leave their homes and they were only allowed to bring their clothes. It was hard for them, because food, medicine, clothes and coffins were running out, and it was very unsanitary. Lots of the Cherokees died of diseases.
2. The worst part of the relocation was that on the journey there were no springs, no water. It was very dry, because there was a drought.
3. The majority of voters should not be able to do whatever they want because they make up more than half of the voters. The majority of voters could have voted for the wrong thing, and then nothing could have solved it then. The minority should be able to stop the will of the majority, because the majority may be wrong and the minority right.
4. It probably did happen that way and it was probably his grandmother. It is important that she was his grandmother, because if she wasn't then he wouldn't have known what it was like during Indian removal. The story was intended as factual history, so that way Prof. Thomas can tell it to other people too.
P-3 Carlos H.
1. The cherokees were very ungrietful for the fact that they lost there nice homes and some went with just the clothes they have on their back.
2. They had no trees for they could make homes there wasn't many animals close by and it is really dry and without water they will die.

Period:3rd
Stephanie D. && Sergio O.
1. In May 1838 Gen. Winfield Scott was sent to move the Cherokees west.The Cherokees were very sad especially the women and children.
2.When they had to see people dying because thats just sad.
3.No the majority voters shouldn't be able to do anything they want because majority isnt always the right choice.Yes because if the majority is wrong then its needs to be corrected.

kimberly alcantar & joshua finnell per.3
1) The Cherokees were all prisioners they were dragged out of there houses and encamped to forts all over the nations.
2) the worst part of the relocation was that they had to leave everything behind except for the clothes they were wearing
3) the majority rules because people get to decide what they want.
eric p. hugo s. p.3
they began evacuating all the cherokee to the west passing the mississippi river. it was hard and tough because that wasn't the first time the moved them.
the worst part about the relocation was to leave every thing behind leave with the clothe you had on.
no because after the verdict trial andrew jackson didn't want to enforce the law. to my understanding the majority rule has always been the rite way but man of the times it isn't even.
it did matter that the grandmother was really his grandmother or else she would have told his the story.i think it was factual history she explain it with great detail.
#1 the message is that all cherokees should join all of there people to prosperity on the other side of mississippi they should before the full moon.
#2 in may 1838 the president wanted the cherokees to move in october all men and women ,children left west usually they were tired mad and sick manny people died moving west.
#3 i would feel mad because that's where i live and i want to live all life where i spend my childhood.i would take food water blankets maybe it will be cold.
#4 leaving the place you live and never come back.
#5 i really hope it's true because i belived it. maybe the women in his account was not his grandmother yes its important because if that women knows he has her in his account she may take all her money away

1. The president of the United Sates came with their strig army and told them that they had to be in the obdience of the Treaty of 1835, to join that part of the people who are already established in prosperity, in the other side of Mississippi.
2. The Cherokees were almost all nearly all prisoners and they all were dragged out of their houses and they also weren't aloud to take anthing with them except the clothes that they were wearing.
3.The majority should not always get to decide because they can be wrong at time and maybe the minority could be right depending on some many people they are.
per.3 Hector Flores
1.it was very hard for the cherokee many people died on the way to the new land.
2.the worst part of the relocation was that the new land did not have water.
3.i think that sometimes is good that the majority rules but sometimes their wrong. i dont belive in the majority rules i beive that the most resenable idea rules because what if the majority is wrong like moving the cherokee to other lands thats wrong.
4.i think the story is real
1.They had to move that period of time was hard for them because they had to move and leve there homes they had to carry alot of stuff.
2.What was bad of the location was that there was heavy autum rain.
3.Yes it was true i dont think that they should get the majority votes because sometimes its not fir for some people like the indians.

p4 daniel m
1.What happened was that the cherokee's didnt wanna leave there hometown but te had to and in the way to the west alot of people died.
2. I think the worst art is that they had to move and they had to start all over again what took them aot years to make. The cherokee's made the houses with alot of hard work and the u.s jus ciomes and takes there and away.
3. I think the mjority should have the most power but they should not do anything they want. they should because they have the most votes. they should be able to stop it if it is a bad law. they should because they have the right to stop a law if i is to bad.

1. They were forst to march down the Trail Of Tears.
2. I think the worst part was ht you had to take everything with you. They have to travel realy realy far and they get realytiered.
3. The majority should not be able to do what ever they want. If they do it will be just like the time there was kings and queens.
4. I think it was Thomas' grandmother. Im don't know if it happened that way though.
#1: They were forced out of there land and there walk is now known as the Trail Of Tears,
#2: That after they were relocated they were chased of of that land also.
#3: it was verry popular because they were well nown and they would
Pedro C. Period 6
1. The United States government sent Gen. Ross to evacuate the western eastern side of the Mississippi River and send the Cherokee to the western part of the Mississippi River.
2. I think that the worst part of the relocation was that the Cherokees were practically made prisoners.
3. I think that the majority does not have the power to do whatever they want, because sometimes the majority is wrong. The minority could stop the will of the majority if it was a good reason and made sense.
4.I think it really happened that way and I think that it was his grandmother, but it doesn't really matter if it was or not because the people on that trail had similar stories to that one
Leslie.B & Luisa.G
Period.6
1. In 1838 the Cherokees were kicked out of their landed and had to be moved west .
Their life was hard they had been drgged from their house and in Georgia they werent allowed to take any thing with them just the clothes they had on.
2. The worst part of the relocation was that they had left in the summer so it wouldnt rain. Then , the Cherokees had no water to drink and most of the food was drying.
3.I think the voters shouldnt be able to do watever they want because then there going to
4.yes the woman was.no.
per.6 jc barragan jasmin r
1.They where forced to move from their home and walk more than 800miles past the mississippi river with low food.
2.The northern route was the most hard there was many winter, rain, and wind with a very muddy route and where traped in icey route between ohio and the mississippi river.
3.Well there shoud be the limit of common sense of right and wrong.
4.i think it isnt true that she can walk all that way and still keep the goose alive and geese are huge and if she can fit it in her apron no people noticed.
Michael B. P.6
1. In May 1838 the U.S. government enforced the treaty that the Cherokees were to be removed in their land. They left in the fall and made a 800 mile journey to the west of the Mississippi.
2. I think the worst part of the relocation was that the conditions were very bad for the Cherokees.
3. Indian removal was popular with the voters since gold was found on their lands. For whatever the majority votes for the Supreme Court should review it to be sure it is Constitution. I don't think it is up to the minority but the Supreme Court.
4. I think it did happen that way, but I don't think this woman was his grandmother and it wouldn't have made a difference is she was. The story was just a story showing how hard it was for the Cherokees to be relocated.
Carla & Christian
1. The Cherokees were kicked out of their land and forced moved west to Mississippi.
Like was very hard and sad for them especially becasue many of them were forced out of their homes with only the clothes they were wearing and many of them died.
2.I think the worst part of the relocation was that they had nothing to survive with and it wss very cold and they werent used to it.
3.Yes , its true that the Indian removal was very popular policy during the 1830's.no they majority of the voters shouldnt be able to do what they want , because not everything everyone wants is the right thing.Yes , if what the majority wants is wrong or unfair.
4.I think some of it was true but some was an exagerting.I think it was his granmother.No it is not importan because it shows what it was like waling over ther.I think it wasnt intended for factual history.It was intended to show how scary the walk over ther was.
Alexander M. & Alexandra G. P.6
1.During May to October in 1838 the president of the US forced the Cherokees out of their land to move many miles far west. Life on that trip was very difficult & uncomfortable.
2. I think the worst part of relocation was the trip there because many of them died and suffered.
3. I think the majority should rule because this is a land of the people, unless what theyre doing is unconstitutional.
4. I dont really think this was Professor Thomas' grandmother, I just think he wanted to have a story to tell about such a historic time. Yes I think it matters because if it really is his grandmother than the story has more sympathy, I also think he told this story not for historical purpose but just to be part of history, and show what can be lost.
P.6 Cynthia G. and Isaac J.
1. During that period the Cherokees were forced to move West of Mississippi being pushed by the federal troops and state militias. Life for the Cherokees was very difficult since they were forced to leave without being able to take any of what they owned. Some didnt even have water to drink and others drank contaminated water and eventually spread diseases and many died.
2) The worst part was that many Cherokees died an the others were pushed off their land without anything that they owned.
3) The majority shouldn't be able to do whatever they want because voting for the Indian Removal Act was unfair and the minority should actually be called justifying.
4) The story was probably true and maybe the girl wasn't really Thomas's grandmother, but its purpose was to demonstrate part of what had happened in the Trail of Tears.
Esmeralda.V. Hugo.T.
{1} In the time period 1838 from May to October the cherokees had to start moving west to other lands. The cherokes were sad and mad because they did nt want to leave there beloved lad.
{2} I think the worst part of the relocation was that they had to adapt to new food, weather, where the animals are at, and where the closest water source was at because they need this to survive.
{3} I don't think that the majority of the voters should do what they want because there are checks and balances and just because they have the majority of the votes they can't anything they want because the congress can stop it. I don't think that the minority of the votes can do anything because the president can veto a bill or etc.
{4}
Arturo V. & Andrea O.
1.they were making the cherokees move away from their native land
2. there were a lot of diseases and a lot died.
3.yess,the majority should rule because its the people who have to live with disitions
Maggie &Marina P.6
1. The Cherokees were forced to relocate to the other side of the Mississippi river by the Treaty of 1835. This was enforced by Jackson and a powerful army. The Cherokees were almost prisoners who were forced to leave their homes and could not even take anything but the clothes they were wearing.
2. We think the worst part of relocation was that they were forced to leave everything behind. This is because they might have had valuables they needed and weren't aloud to take. When they get to their destination they will have nothing but the clothes they were wearing.
3. Yes it was true that it was a popular policy with voters. The majority shouldn't always be able to do whatever they want because they don't always know what's best. The minority should not be able to stop the will of the majority because they'd just go in favor of what they want.
Patricia A. Juan B.
1. What happened to the Cherokees in the period of May to October 1838? What was life like for the Cherokees during that time?
In may 1838 troops tricked the Cherokees and said"The full moon of May is already on the wane.."so they started moving the Cherokees out west.
2. What do you think was the worst part of the relocation? Why?
The weather change because they were used to warm weather and only had summer clothes, they were moving to a really cold location they weren't prepared.
3. Andrew Jackson believed that "the majority rules." It is true that Indian removal was a very popular policy with voters over many years in the 1830s. Should the majority of voters be able to do anything they want? Why or why not? Should a minority of voters be able to stop the will of the majority? Why or why not?
Yes,the majority should rule because if they made a certain decision together then it must be right.
No, they shouldn't because the decision was already made.
4. Reread Professor Thomas' story? Do you think it is really happened that way? Was the woman really Professor Thomas' grandmother? Is it important if she is not really his grandmother? Do you think the story was intended as factual history, or had another purpose? Explain (tell why or why not) your answers.
Brandon O. Per6
1. The goverment were making the Cherokees to mve from thier native land.
2. Disases spread around te camp and many people died.

1. During this period of time the cherokees were dragged out of their lands. Some didnt even have time to gather their belongings.
2.The worst part of their relocation was when they were moving. They had to go through all kinds of wheather. It was very tough for them because they had to leave their homes were they lived their whole lives. Alot of them got sick and they got really tired.
3.The majority should be able to do what they want because that is what most of the people want or voted for.No they can't because the majority of voters won and the minority didn't get enough votes to win.
4.I think she was his grandmother. It does not matter if she is not his grandmother.

1. The Cherokees were moved from their homes by the militia.
2. I think that the worst part of the move of the Cherokee was there was not enough food and the only source of warmth was the clothes they had on when they were taken from there homes.
3. I think that the majority of people voting on what they want may not be the most brightest idea. I think that it wouldn't be right to do whatever majority wants because our country would destruction and injust.

4. I don't think it was the Proffesers grandmother, that the story is true, and the story was intended to have an other purpose with was toteach a lesson.

1. The Cherokees were forced out of their homeland to the west of the mississipi. This long, harsh, difficult road was a road no one wanted to walk.They all suffered but they had no choice
2. I think the worst part of relocation was the trip there because many of them died on the way.If you lose your house and belongings you can get a new house and new belongings but you can never get back someone who died
3. Abraham thinks the majorty should not rule
Alan thinks in this case the minority was right but if the minority can always stop the will of the majority it would just complicate things
4. i think if it is his grandmother or not its not very important, the reason of the story was to get a point across and thats was his goal

1. Starting in Mayy, The cherokees were forced too Move West of the misissipi. The road they used was noticed as the Trail of Tears. Many peolple died, Few surived, the Cherokees were promised that the new land would be theirs, but that promise was easily forgotten when the white men moved west, too.
2. I think the worst part of the relocation was that many times they didn't have food or shelter or that sometimes many died of many reasons, Such as diseases or hunger. i think this is the worst part of the relocation because, besides the fact that they were being forced to leave their homeland, they didn't make sure they were healthy, or atleast alive.
3. I don't think they should be able to do anything they want just because they are the majority, because all have the same equal vote. I think the minority can stop the will of the majority because they can do something big and stop the majority.
4. maybe it did happen that way or maybe it didnt , he doesnt know the truth. i dont know and no it realy isn;t important because he's still telling the story, no matter who it was.

1. The Cherokees' life in 1838 was harsh. The Cherokee were order to move out f their homs and move to the west.
2. We think that the worst part of the relocation was that the soliders made the children, infants, elderlies, and pregant Cherokees women travel to th west with all the horrible weather.
3.We believe that the majority of the rule should not decided on the Indian removal. But then we also believe that the minority of the voters shouldn't stop the will of the majority. We believe that if anyone should decide is someone that is completly neutral.
4. We believe that the way the story was told was what truly happened. Yes because he had heritage in his family from the Cherokees We also believed that was made to show us the hardship that the Cherokees faced while they travled.
While "the majority rules" in our democratic government, the Constitution is always a higher law. As Chief Justice Marshall said, it is the job of the courts to "say what the law is." One of the main reasons that the Founders allowed judges to remain in office for a life term was so that they would only be concerned with the law, not with what is popular. While the Congress and President depend on voters, once judges are confirmed by the Senate, they hold office no matter what the voters say.
Even though the Native Americans suffered so much hardship on the Trail of Tears, I think the most important lesson was regarding what happened with the case of Worcester v. Georgia, where the Supreme Court made the right decision, but it was never enforced. One hundred twenty years later, a court ruled that African-American students should be admitted to all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. President Eisenhower disagreed with the court, but he realized that the "rule of law" was the most important issue, and sent soldiers and U.S. Marshals to enforce the judge's decision.
